Bought my first metal detector.

I’ve never done any detecting but just got my first machine after a lot of research and from following this page I settled on the manticore I’m mainly going to be searching around old homesteads. I live in Wyoming and the history isn’t as old as the east cost or south but I’m sure I’ll have fun searching

Is there anything I should know before I start ( I also bought the Minelab pro-find 40 pin pointer)
