Default Got my first CW find!

After only having my Ace 250 for less than 2 weeks I found my first CW bullet! I was looking at a site my mother clued me in to...she had told me
that a house was being torn down and by the time I got to it the dozer
had done it's job and also removed the first foot of soil too...well, I gave it a shot and while I was searching a local guy asked what kind of detector I was using and I told him. ZThen he wanted to know how it compared to a Pioneer (?). Told him I had no clue since I didn't know anything about the Pioneer. He then asked had I found anythin yet and I said no but that I just a hit that looked like a pull tab. Then he said when he had gone ove the whole area with his Pioneer it didn't tell him what anything was, so mine must be better. LOL Still don't know if he found anything but I only found a clad quarter and clad dime. Then my cell phone rang and it was my mom telling me that her church owned another house that was going to be demolished, but it was not occupied and was quite old and that I had permission to MD it;s front and rear yards. WooHoo!!! So that is where I went and it was full of aluminum flashing! Everywhere!! Then right before I had finished I got a hit between a penny and a dime at 4 inches. Dug it and got my CW bullet!! Now I am happy, my first one!! Two feet futher and I got a penny at 4 inches and my heart started beating even faster....turned out to be a penny...1987-D LOL.... That's OK, I still got my first bullet! A great day with my ACE. Man I like this detector alot!!!

Thanks for the kudos from everyone! So is the motif here pirate? LOL All of the avatars look to have a pirate theme. Is it a tie in to treasure quest...as in pirates hiding treasure or what? LOL Just wunering.
