Default stimulus check

hey everyone hows it goin'...well i think i have my free handout spent already lol. see folks, they really do care i should be seein' $600, so half will go towards a plane ticket to go back to Illinois for my lil' sister's wedding and the other half will be for a new detector, which will be the ace 250.my friend Mr. Garrett actually touted it the other day as a good machine for me to graduate to from the famoustrails one i use now.so that pretty much does the trick for me in my decision. the ace seems to me to be the most talked about, reliable machine for what it costs. I'm willing to plunk down a few hundred for it ,plus a decent dig tool and MAYBE a pinpointer. i think the pinpointer would be usefull in minimizing the damage of a dig, but i'm also wondering if the ace will point it out well enough on it's own. oh yah...i was wondering about the sniper coil ,too. is it the shape of it that people like , or do the sniper and stock coils have differant capabilities? the sniper would be nice to have up in the canyon amongst the rocks looking for 'noglins'. (emily's pronunciation of nuggets lol.) ok later guys... happy huntin' and good luck!

With the sniper coil, you won't even need a pinpointer. I promise!!
