Welcome! Lotsa good stuff on this forum for anybody that swings a detector and whatever method one chooses for seeking gold. Good luck! HH Jim Tn

Welcome, you still have many good detecting years ahead of you. Get out and enjoy them! HH Jim tn

I'm with midalake, I've found many silver chains, but never a gold one. HH jim tn

That's a nice, neat find with some age it appears. HH jim tn

Welcome from W Tn. HH jim tn

Welcome! Wife and I grew up in Moorhead, across the river from Fargo. While as you mention, your digging season will be shorter than you are accustomed too, many of the smaller towns, however, still harbor some good older coins. I hit some each summer when my wife and I return for some resort life. Good luck! HH Jim Tn

Like Steve and some stated and alluded too, use common sense. I love old curb strips and hunt them frequently. I hunt those around schools, parks, and old fairgrounds, vacant lots in the older parts of town and apartments in older areas. I try and hit them when little traffic is around, like schools on weekends and holidays. HH Jim Tn

Welcome from Tn. Go through Iowa on our fishing trips up to Mn (home state) annually. Good luck! HH Jim Tn

Welcome! Once you get a couple of hunts under your belt, you might just surprise yourself and find more time to hunt. HH Jim Tn

If I had to complain it would be that I'm hitting very few deep targets. After 50 + outings with it I refuse to believe I haven't walk over some deep coins. I ran my 800 pretty much the same and had no trouble hitting 8 to 10 inch coins, and a few deeper than that. And that is with the 6 in coil. Sensitivity usually around 20-22. Anyway thanks and good luck to you

I didn't have the 6" coil for my 600, but highly suspect the 6" I now have with the 900 would probably struggle on 8-10" deep coins. The 11", however, will go deep. I've dug 2 coins between 10 and 11" with it and they weren't just tic tones, either. The 11" is my depth hunter, although it's darn good in quite heavy trash, and the 6" for heavy trash un-masking. Good luck. HH jim tn

Welcome, once you start this hobby, it is hard to quit. Good luck! HH Jim Tn

Welcome from W Tn. You have a lot of old history to search for in your country. Good luck! HH Jim Tn

Welcome from W Tn. Wife and I get to St Simon's Island a couple times a year. Nice area you live in. HH Jim Tn

Simply outstanding all the way around. HH jim tn

Nice batch of older coins and tokens. The 900 seems to be working nicely. I like mine, too. Good luck! HH jim tn

Nice find and the piece appears to be in very good condition. Good hit! HH jim tn

Welcome! Part of the fun of the hobby is learning what your detector is telling you. Good luck and enjoy the trip. HH jim tn

Welcome. You joined a great hobby and forum. I swing the 900 and its a good unit and fun to use. Turn it on, if so inclined, tweak the tones, and then just dig a bunch of targets. HH jim tn

Nice ring find. Actually looks like it could have a bit of age to it. Good going. HH Jim Tn

Welcome aboard! Lots of history in your surrounding area. Spent a lot of time in Mobil, back in my working days. Have fun and good luck. HH Jim Tn

Welcome! You are correct, this great hobby is a never ending learning process. HH jim tn
