Default I hate my Ace 250

I took it out to a undetected old school house which is converted to a fire department building for about 1 hour today.

I got permission from the fire chief to hunt it.

He said just do not leave any hole in the grass.

Well in one hour I unearthed
7 quarters
4 dimes
1 nickel
6 pennies
1 1944S Wheatie
1 latch for their flag pole
1 pop tab

I wound up with a sore back from getting up, then getting down to dig and pick up money.

The darned thing is such a coin magnet that I think I will get another machine that doesn't work so dammed good so I won't get home with a sore back.
Picking up other peoples money can be hard on a ole mans body.

My sentiments exactly. I did the same thing. Durn Ace was getting me sore. Hope the 70 is easier on my back. If that don't work I'm going to get a DFx.

Hey Boobie! I have a stick that's about the same length and weight as the Ace250 that I can send you. I promise you that if you swing that around instead of the Ace that you WON'T be hurtin' near as much.
