My first detector is on its way, and it's a used E-Trac. I'm looking for advice on how to use it, advice specific for someone completely new to metal detecting. It also includes a 6x8 SEF coil.
So, how should I start? Initially I'll want to turn it on and immediately use it around my home and garden with the hope that it'll all somehow make sense. Then, maybe parks/forests, the beach sometime in the next month, and I'm not sure where else. I hear the soil is iron rich here in Oregon.
All advice is welcome and appreciated. Thanks! My plan is to join a local club and buy the E-Trac+Explorer book.
