Some tips I have learnd

Number one tip for you guys i can tell you..
If you are not out there and swinging that detector your not goin to find jack squat. If you put the time in you will find the good stuf. Ive had the coin strike for about 2 weeks now. And in that time ive found about $30 clad , 1941 merc dime , 5 1/2 rings 3 of wich are real (2 .925 silver and 1 18k white gold ring with 5 emeralds) Among other odds and ends.
Number 2 tip. Bring your MD with you everywhere!! make shure its in the car at all times and you have fresh bateries. This will enshure that if you have an extra 10min or 2 hours you will be able to get at it the quickest. (security tip. Never leave your MD in view. Might get swiped)
Allways !!! ALLWAYS Grid an area. And if your on the beach dig every signal that is not iron (i dig all including iron) Regardless if you know it is foil or a pulltab for shure. This not only cleans up the beach/area your hunting it also makes shure you dont find the same thing over and over on other trips you make.
Tip 3.. FILL IN YOUR HOLES!! Nuff said, I shouldnt have to say it. But in the last couple days i have run into (saposidly longtime hunters) that just leave there holes and move on. This has cause Metaldetecting to be banned in more places then i can say here. So FILL IN YOUR HOLES!!!
tip 4.. Be safe and vigalent.. Be aware of your saroundings ,, If that group of guys over there look like troble they probibly are. Trust yourself and move away from them or the particuler area.
Nothing is worth getting robed or killed over so dont take chances BE SAFE!!
hope this helps some of you, I know most of you know this but it should still be said and read often.
 
Great tips, Dave. I received my C$ on the 24th, I was out on the 25th, just to learn the ropes. Found a handful of clad the first day and a little less the second. I do need to get out more. Where abouts in California do you hunt? Looking forward to that first piece of silver. Good hunting.

Btw .. i was out hunting with my C$ 15 min after i got it lol
GET OUT THERE AND HUNT!!! lol even if its only for 10-15 min .. Try and do it every day.Sooner you learn the machen the sooner you are goin to start finding the good stuf
 
DAve, I live in Santa Clarita not too far away from you. MAybe we can plan a hunt.
You guys have motivated me. I'll try and get out every day. I've got to get a handle on that detector.
Good hunting.
