First time ever metal detecting
I have been reading these forums for a few weeks now, and I have been very eager to start MDing. I ordered a White's Prizm II a few days ago, and UPS brought it to my doorstep today. My girlfriend laughed at me as I immediately tore into the box and assembled my new toy. I walked outside and hit the ground running.
Unfortunately, we still have a few inches of snow on the ground here in Colorado. Undaunted, I plowed through the snow and started digging every signal I found. Sadly, the ground was frozen solid and withstood my best efforts to retrieve all that gold and silver I know is just under the surface! I moved to the wood chip playground across the street from my house, where a few small patches are starting to thaw out, and the wood chips make digging much easier. I was able to come up with a few treasures and a bunch of trash, that I dutifully carted home. My first day's total was a whopping $.16 and a small key. I can't wait until the ground thaws out so I can do some real digging! I hope there is room for one more in your MD community, because I'm hooked!

thanks!
Thank you all for your kind replies and making me feel welcome. I'm looking forward to learning more... and that heated shovel isn't a bad idea!
