Patience and then a little more of the same......I think it may be number of posts/replies related but I wouldn't get too stressed about it.
Post some pics of your finds and a wee story (even if it's nothing too flash that you've found) and enjoy the hobby.
Good luck out there Iggy

As Iggy says, Tell us about your hunts - We were all 'Dust' once.

Most of us have started out with bits of bent wire and random blobs of aluminium. It's always great reading when a new swinger finds their first silver, or gold.

If you're active, you'll become a flake in no time :)

Happy Hunting
