Hi, I am new to the hobby and was going to buy a metal detector for christmas. I'm from New York and I really want to go hunting before I have to go back to school. Does anyone have any tips for me?

even without snow on the ground, things can be frozen as solid as cement. a bit of an exception to that rule is the woods. fallen leaves, moss, small bushes and dead-fall help insulate the ground from frost and digging there will be easier. even long grass that didn't get mowed that one last time can help keep the ground diggable! playgrounds with that pee-gravel in them can still be dug too. if you're a beach hunter, the area below the high tide mark can still be good.
