Congratulation on your new detector! Learn the Prizm for at least a year before you move up. The 2,3 and 4 Prizms come with the 8 inch coil that I think is a better coil than the 950.

Hi Adam
Metal detecting is like eating cookies. Once you eat one that one leads to another, soon your good at eating and knowing different cookies. Same goes for metal detecting one hit leads to another and you get better and better. Take it slow and it takes time, remember some of the posts on the forum are from members with lots of years under their belts. So don't compare what you find and what they are finding. Just enjoy yourself. It is a great hobby. Jer
