hello everyone i am new to this

well i have the dreded gold bug.bought a metal dector the other day and off i go ,dragging my frend out with me .Armed with dector and some imformation we head off to daisyhill forrest in search of the lost mine .As i left home my wife said you two are nutters and the onley thing you will find is old cans and rubbish.As it turned out we did find the old mine neddys claim started in about 1943 and closed in 1986. The sharfts were coverd in and the area all cleaned up by our frends the rangers.But we did find some old bottles from 1946.I am going on another adventure next week when my frend recovers from the long hike.   

l am also new to detecting. Am keen and also find there is a lot to this. Went on a tour with professionals and that helped. I think now l am ready to buy a gold detector. A steady step by step process.
