	Just bought my first "real" Metal Detector! « on: March 09, 2010, 06:44:43 pm »

A couple years ago I bought a cheapy $80 off ebay and had fun, but now I am ready to do some "real" detecting!
I bought (2 hours ago) a Minelab Sovereign XS-2a Pro, and I was wondering what tips or video demos there might be out there for me. If you own one what accessories would you buy? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Mr.Utah a month ago I got a lead on a farmers homesite in preston Id. that they had demolished my friends brother owns the land,and she said her uncle who owned the land used to hide his money (bury it) it was in the 30's and he didn't trust banks after the crash,and they don't think all the money was ever dug up. she's going to get me permission to detect it sounds fun huh?
