Now that doubles (2 a day football practices) are over, I've finally had a chance to get out there and actually begin my venture into MDing. Since this was my first search, I thought I'd post the results. I went out with the thoughts of just practicing and not really knowing what to expect. Although I didn't find anything spectacular, it was still pretty cool. I hit the sidelines of a football practice field that had been completely replaced about 5 years ago. Although it wasn't a huge haul and nothing was valuable, it was pretty exciting every time I got a strong signal and started to narrow in on the target. I have to say, I'm hooked. Along with pulling 6 partial or full pop cans out of the ground, I also pulled the following:

I kept the pull tabs because I thought they were pretty cool. Also, the shell casing intrigued me. It was cool to find, but then I realized it was at a location where kids play football.
My question to the community; how do you organize/catalog your finds. I'd like to keep track of everything worthwhile that I find, but I'm not sure what the best method is. Any advice would be appreciated.
Definitely looking forward to getting out there again today.

erfect10:! Looks like a good hunt to me! Like you said. Now it Begins It's too late for you now. You are hooked. Keep hitting that field. :congrats: on some good clad! Quarters are always fun! |:cheering: Welcome to the forum! :grouphug:
mg: He is one of us now!!! Welcome to the addiction gridiron :waving: I have to agree with Fire Fighter about writing down the dates. As for keeping your finds, well I first sorted every thing. After a couple of hundred pull tabs and crap, that changed to a see through fishing box with compartments for all coins and other nice stuff, while the crap went in to my Junk Box. Well, only in to this hobby for 10 months, that has switched to a massive storage box which my wife supprised me with from one of her scrap booking shops. It's a large storage box, with several smaller see through storage containers in side, simular to fishing boxes. I now have one just for coins (only old ones)(all clad is sorted and put in cups/zip locks), another box for buttons, rings and medalions, one for all my finds from this military school I've been hunting, and then another for larger items. It's nice to go grab the handle and bring it where ever you go, and it's all fairly organized. Now hopefully in a year or two, this massive box will be just for my coins, and I'll need other boxes for every thing else :grin: Good hunting to ya gridiron and keep posting pic's of your finds, thumbsup01 Eric
