Default Your First Find?

I went on my very first hunt today. I dug 2 Pennies, a Quarter, a rusty nail, a bobber, a key and 3 bottle caps! (By the way, I'm hooked!)

What did you find on your very first hunt?

I had an older whites that I never did learn to use when I was a teen. If I remeber the first thing I found was a bottle cap and if I remember right it was the second and third thing I found also. After that I did not detect again until I joined the Army and bought a new Garrett with all the bells and whistles. And I found a dime. I was hooked.

That was a great hunt Cash.

Digging holes is what matters

Stopping and smelling the fresh dirt.

Sounds like you had fun on your first hunt, we look forward to seeing whats in your next hole.

My first findings, then my second time out, how you like them nails

I don't remember, but I bet it was a pull tab or a nail.
