New to metal detecting. I live in Dunn NC which is right off I95 at exit 73. I just got my 2 boys some bounty hunters and me an AT Pro. Trying to learn but mainly digging trash right now. Great hobby and me and my boys are having fun.

Welcome from another Tarheel about 1.5 hours away from you. Trash is part of the learning curve. Have fun and dig everything right now until you can distinguish by ear what is good and what is bad.

Yes Sir! you and the boys are off to a good start.
About the trash . Everyone finds it... Something you and the boys can do is to keep all that trash metal for recycle. With the three of you collecting all the scrap copper , aluminum, iron and what not you can build up a nice little resale value.
