Hi. I am new to metal detecting.
I am planning a trip to the beach in Western Washington and would appreciate any tips from the experts for a new metal detector. I will be using my brand new Garrett Ace 250. Thanks!

I have heard that the Ace is an excellent beach detector. I suggest a sand scoop and head phones, Have fun and happy hunting.

Definitely get a sand scoop, better if you can get one with the 3 ft handle, no bending over & saves tons of time, good luck!

Reed a long handle scoop looks like the way to go. I use the short small one and it wears me out after a while. As "E" says the long one is the way to go. I might be changing over real soon. Head phones are a must if you are deaf like me. I can hear things pretty good with them. They are a pain but I have learned to live with it. I would also dig everything that makes a sound. You will get a lot of trash but you might get something good also......Good Luck and Happy Hunting....Buster...
