    Newbie needs a little help

    Hope I can get a little help. I am brand new to metal detecting and this is my first detector. I just got my 705 and took it out this weekend. I did not find any nuggets but found a lot of nails, tacks and trash (aluminum cans). Each day when I got back home I read all I could about the...
