Hi DJ1,
Congrats on getting up and running with your new best friend. The F44 looks to be a good machine. It'll just take you a bit of time and practice with target ID, and you'll be a wizz in no time!
I've found that the trick with getting pic's up on your post, is to set the resolution on the camera/phone to a maximum of 640 x 480......any larger, and you will get the result you got with this post.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

I usually upload photos to the your album at the resolution No8wire mentioned, then when you do your post click on the icon as per picture, browse for photo , click and enter. Not sure if its the right way but it works for me.

There's a few online sites which will resize and crop pics for you.
Just upload the image, select size to output, then download the updated size.

Try this one

The ugly clad coins, I belt with a hammer then feed into Coke machines for either shiny coin of the realm, or a can.

It'd commonly said to "Dig Everything" when starting out - sage advice.
After a few hours in the dirt, you should be able to start correctly guessing the signals.

I look forward to watching your tally of finds increase.
