Day 1
I made a little garden in the backyard to test my new detector. After going over this area a few times in different directions i moved into the yard. I was expecting to find construction debris since our house is not that old. Surprising I found a quarter, penny and a small piece of copper. Later that day when it warmed up I went down to the beach for about 45 minutes. There were not very many targets but I suspect that its been hit pretty hard during the winter. With no tourist to refresh it I suspect it may be summer before it starts producing. On the beach I found a can and a pull tab.
Day 2
Since the beach was a bust for me and the wind was blowing 15+ knots I decided to go across the street to some dunes. This area is next to a road but there is nothing there now. What was there in the past I do not know. I stayed in a 50 circle and the targets were plentiful. This is just what I was looking for! I'm new and I want targets to dig so I can learn the machine. I found cans, shell casings, bullets and all kinds of scrap. It was getting a little late in the day and I was working my way back to the house when I got a solid signal and I found my first penny! It was a great way to end the day. I did detect back to the road but did not dig any more targets. Overall I had a great day and learned a lot.
I travel for work and I'll be leaving Monday for 3 weeks. I'll be working in NYC and Philly. Do y'all take your detectors everywhere?
