Im new in the world of Bonsai
OK. Go do some research on collecting yamadori. It takes preparation. Here is one site explaining it:

One of the things you need to know
before collecting a tree is what species it is...
"An outdoor specimen with bonsai potential has little value if you cannot be sure that it is going to survive before you dig it up. To be able to determine that, it is necessary to examine the roots. Also, you have to know what type of tree it is and what its probable reaction will be. The roots must be as compact as possible so that a solid rootball can be dug up"
is this a way of treating newly starting enthusiasts?
How do you feel treated? I can understand that you're disappointed that we're not sharing your enthusiasm for your new tree, but you made the wrong start and that's all we're telling you. You can prove us wrong and show us the tree, well and alive, in a few weeks from now.
not talking a dozen Auk
I think you did:
"I came across a dozen of these"
