Stick with it, eat tylenol, and expect a sore swinging arm and shoulder. Work through the aches, and good stuff will start showing up beneath your coil! The good news is that after a while, swinging won't make you sore. For me, that 'while' was several weeks

Thanks for the encouragement, Darren. And yes, digging foil and pull tabs means I won't miss the gold...someday, I'll find some shiny yellow in the hole rather than bits of foil. And, as I've read here, when you come across foil and tabs in an area, it tends to mean that the area's not been hunted...
And I filled all my holes and flipped back the turf, and took all the trash I discovered to the trash bin. So it's all good.
I will eat Tylenol, and I'll work through things. I'm a pretty tough lady, so I can do this, yes indeed.
Know what I had a hard time figuring out? Which arm the detector should go in. I'm not ambidextrous, but when I shoot guns, I tend to prefer a left stance and hold rather than a right one. Yesterday, I found myself switching to left, but then would switch back. I'll figure it out with more time and swings, I'm sure. It's just odd.
HH!
