Schoser...I'm happy for you. I too bought a Ace-250 two months ago, my 'finds' pile is getting bigger by the week... I haven't as of yet 'cleaned house' on the clad, with a little over $2.50 total, but have found: iPod nano (it works), silver chain w/pendant, bullets, axe heads, toy cars, etc... Its addicting I tell ya...good luck hope to hear of some good finds of your soon...!

And that is why the ACE 250 is pretty much everyone's favorite all-around machine! Sounds like you'll be enjoying it! Happy hunting!!

The 250 is a great machine. If you haven't done so already, grab a sniper coil for the high trash areas. It'll be my next purchase. I hear that the sniper pinpoints like a laser...

Congrats on the ACE! I am glad you like that bad boy. Now you will be bringing in the good stuff!

As to the digger. Shoot Alabamaslim an e-mail and ask him about his digger. I think he has a nice one for sure, Beale.
