First Detector

So I received my metal detecting present a few months back - a Minelab XTerra 705 with 18.75kHz elliptical coil. So far it has proven to be a very sensitive machine. Took me some time at the beginning to get a handle on pinpointing. Most the grounds I have been to are the city parks in town. As soon as the weather warms up in the mountains, I am anxious to check out old mining town areas for relics and possibly other goodies.
