MY Sophmore year and some advise for newbies

[oldranger]

2010 started today with a quick hunt
at a VERY local park for 1/2 hr

59 cents all currrent stuff but i got OUT to HUNT
This is my sophmore year so IM still learning but if there
are any REAL new folks I do have some advise

1) Patiance
2) dig EVERYHTING
3) get a propointer as soon as your able to

Ifound 3 of the coins in real slop and
I doubt i would have if i didnt have the pro pointer
I cant wait to use it in warmer weather and without
the slop!!!

The last advise is to ask the fine people on this forum
for help. iknow i will all year long!!!


Have Safe Happy and Fun hunts

thanks for the advice. I am a newbie...just got the equipment ACE 250 and the pro pointer. ( so # 3 is covered )
I plan on digging everything ( # 2 )

Why do you add # 1 ( patience ) ?
Difficult to find stuff?
Difficult to find the good stuff?

BTW I am v. patient....just wondering why u added patience as a good thing in MDing.

thanks again,

For Me it just meant not geting frustrated or upset
when i dig up when im SURE its the
1803 Gold Dollar im looking forward,....

I learned real quick to just take my time and
try to learn sometinh every time i went out..
even on the bad days..

Have fun and Welcome to the forum

If you don't have patience you'd better take up needle point as a hobby.

is this really a necessity? I thought you can use the detector itself to wave around at the piles of dirt dug out to 'pinpoint'?

I still don't have my metal detector (still looking for one) and wasn't sure if it was justified to drop extra $$ on one


cheers

Pinpointers are a great help in finding a target quickly. I've used several kinds and that Pro-Pointer is the best I've used. I wouldn't want to be without it.
