Default My New Detector Actually It's My Wife's

I did some trading with my silver and gold scrap and ended up with a like new Ace 250 which I recieved in the mail yesterday. As soon as I pulled it out of the box and before I put it together my wife said "that could be mine" as if the bright yellow colors didn't influence her or anything. Wanting to put a big frog sticker on it, but hey its hers now. So I adjusted it to fit her.

I originally bought a Tesoro Silver uMax for my wife. Needless to say, it became my favorite grab&go detector.

WTG Sarge. I am sure your wife will like it. See if she wants to put the frog on it.
I got my wife a 250 also, she doesn't have much interest about going, but when I get her out there, man, she is on a roll. It took her awhile to catch on to the detector, but I think she likes it.

Good job Sarge! I am sure she will let you "dial it in" for her. Gotta make sure it works right, Beale.
