Default No Real Finds but already hooked

Hello folks! I have had my detector out a total of 15 minutes! Just getting acquainted with it in my yard. I didn't really find much but did dig up 2 memorial pennies and a 1976 nickel. And piece of a die cast car (must be new it has NASCAR type stickers on it). But all in all, I can't wait to go back out! Gotta wait for it to quit raining cats and dogs outside tho! This is going to b so much fun!!

Hi, Swing, and welcome to TQ! I'm glad you decided to join!

Don't let the Pirate avatars worry you. We are in "Pirate Mode" for the upcoming contest near the end of the month. Just another way we have some fun here! Join in if you want to bring out the pirate in you!

I hope you get ouit again soon and find some more targets. The rain will make it easier to dig!
