    Welcome aboard from southern Nevada.


    I've traveled a long way, and many of the roads weren't paved.

    Welcome to the forum from central Illinois! There is lots of helpful information on the internet in the various metal detecting forums and on YouTube. My best advice for a beginner is to learn everything you can about your particular machine, be patient and persistent and don't become discouraged if you don't find anything great at first.

    Good luck and I hope you stick around and keep us posted on your progress!
