Hi all,
New detectorist here! Been wanting one all my life and finally got the time to get involved. I got laid off the first part of November so I've taken some time to enjoy life a little instead of the stress of IT Management... I found a smoking deal on Craigslist for a brand new never opened 505 for 320.00, I figured after a little research this would be a good starting detector, so I drove to Oakland and made the deal...
I read the manual, did some research read the FAQ here and watched 100's of YouTube vids and the very first time I turned the detector on at a park around the corner from my house I found a penny with the VERY first signal! I took this as a great omen but it has been a curse, I have found so many dang pennies I'm sick of em!! HAHAHA no wheaties mind you
Oldest coin to date is a mid 1800's Chinese bronze coin I found in Rocklin. Everything else is bloody clad, found a 1965 quarter today at William Land Park, one year off from silver. So is there anyone here in the Sacramento area swinging any of the X-Terra's? I would really like to get out with someone.
GREAT forum here, everyone is really helpful and encouraging many thanks from a total NOOB!!!
