First outing with my own machine

I wound up buying a slightly used Tesoro Cibola and got out with it on Sunday for the first time. Hunted for 30 minutes at a nearby tot lot and got 2 zinc Lincolns and a whole soda can 
. I picked the tot lot because it was close and all of them in my area have a couple of inches of mulch on top of soil, so it makes digging pretty easy. The can was intact and down farther than I would have thought, about 4 inches. I'm guessing someone buried it on purpose, even though there is a trash can not 10 feet away. After 30 minutes, I had swept all the areas pretty well and the mosquitoes were getting viscous so I packed up and headed home.
This tot lot I went to is used infrequently, so I hope to soon hit another one nearby that is busier. When I rented the Whites detector about a month ago, the busier tot lot yielded a couple of Zincolns and a quarter, so I'm hoping for more clad (or better) on my next visit with the Cibola.
No pinpointer yet, but I have one on order and hope to get it in a few days.
I guess the detecting bug has fully bitten!
