N00B to metal detecting...

A couple of years ago I picked up a Bounty Hunter Quick Draw II. Not knowing anything about anything... I'm getting more interested in metal detecting, but don't know much about it. Hopefully I can get a lot of useful tips from the site and start finding treasures to pay for a better detector.
 
I'm pretty new to the detecting hobby, but there are a lot of experienced people around here. Good luck with your hunting[attachment 176997 images.jpg]
 
I myself I don't have a QDII however there are many "true-isms" that apply to all metal detectors no matter the brand or model. Nothing substitutes for "stick time". The best thing you can do is to get out and use the detector. Don't be tempted to crank up the sensitivity to the max as this usually ends up giving false or phantom signals. Follow what the manual says on setting sensitivity settings for at least a little while. Sames goes for the discrimination setting, follow the manual. Dig everything for a little while just to see whats in the ground, you may be surprised. Eventually you will learn what your detector is telling you what is in the ground. Above all else take your time, be safe, and have fun. I know you will get much more specific info from the experts that have the same machine as you do however some of the basic info needs to be repeated from time to time. Good luck and HH. I look forward to your posts of finds in the future.

Do a search - all dates for Quick Draw II and Pioneer 202 on this
Bounty Hunter Forum. Same detector sold at different places.
There is a ton of info on here to get you going.
You have a very capable detector.
Good hunting to you !
 
Thanks! Since I've had it, I've found a ton of change, couple of buttons, and 2 rings. Unfortunately the rings were just sterling silver and the diamonds were fake. (I've only been out 3-4 times) I'd like to find out where the hot spots are around here and how to better zero in on the target. One of the problem I was having was finding so many tabs from soda. I've done more reading and watched more vidoes since then and have gained a good bit of knowledge since the last time I went out. Ohio doesn't seem to offer much places to hunt.... Or maybe there are a ton of places and I just don't know where they are?
 
Swing your thing around gravel parking lots!!!! They tend to hide ROSIES (dimes), very well! You'll do good. Good luck & HH. :detecting:
