Hi, howdy, greetings, 'sup

[SmilingCat]

My name is Nia and I am a complete and total bumbling noob.

Heck, I am still researching what detector to buy. And I am desperately seeking a club or person(s) to help teach me the ropes.

I am in the San Francisco Bay Area, Contra Costa County.

I think I need to metal detect/treasure hunt because of my addiction to research and history. I love the thrill of the hunt for data and to ferret out missing pieces of information, so extending to something small that I can actually touch and carry seems logical.

And who doesn't like playing in the dirt? Come on!

Yep, I be a coin huntress.

(At least I will be once I figure out what the heck I am doing.)

Welcome from NC! I was a complete bumbling newb just like you not quite three months ago. Bought a used Fisher F70 and have been using it every spare minute I get! Not much advice I can give other than to get a decent detector and just go out and start detecting, keep reading all you can here on this forum and read and re-read the owner's manual that comes with your detector. You may not fully understand all the info in the manual, but as you keep using your detector it will become clearer. Also, you may want to begin detecting at a local park where you can get some easy finds like some clad and hopefully a ring or two. This will help from getting discouraged and keep the fever up
