Welcome Jthreeb and congrats on your being born again in Christ and for discovering the hobby of metal detecting! I am unable to do it any longer because of health issues and my age of 81 but I know and remember how much fun I had doing it and being out in God's beautiful world digging up the hidden coins and treasures that ppl lose and have lost in the past! Nice to be able to spend time with your children and having good times with them! May God Bless you and yours! Will check out your you tube channel! Ma

Jthreeb....I watched some of your videos and your finds are a lot like I used to find when just beginning One thing I would like to say is that digging big deep holes like that in the city parks here in the US would get you thrown out and the parks closed to detecting for anyone except big shots in the government! Please learn how to dig smaller holes and don't make such a mess with the soil...use a piece of cloth to place the soil on and then you can put it back in the hole and leave less signs of your diggings! Your daughter reminds me to my redheaded granddaughter when she was that age....she is grown now and has almost two grown sons of her own! Have fun but be neater in hunting and digging, especially public places! God Bless and hope you do well in continuing MD'ing and for our Lord Jesus Christ! Amen!

Welcome to the Forum and Metal Detecting! It's a great hobby. God's blessings upon you to find even more.

Thanks everyone for the welcoming messages and advice! And yes i need to make smaller plugs lol Working on getting a new, smaller shovel. I can only make them the size of the shovel, no smaller lol....anyways take care and God bless!

 

[Missouri--Ma Betty]

Yes, a much smaller shovel will help you dig better and make cleaner holes! God Bless on finding the goodies and having fun with your family! Ma

But I would recommend a small trowel sized digger. So many people now use shovels and so many places are getting shut down to detecting. We all need to be good stewards of the land, and preserve our hobby.

 

[Missouri--Ma Betty]

Yes, I meant a small digger and not a smaller shovel! This is all that is needed to use in manicured lawns and parks! But wherever is done, we must fill our holes and try to make it look like we haven't been there at all as much as possible! Ma
