Default Hello from Texas

Hello everyone, my name is Joe and I live in Central Texas. I work as a Firefighter/Paramedic and have wanted to start detecting for a long time and finally just started. I have been lurking around here for a while now and just got my first detector which is an Ace 250. I opted for that model based on what I have read on these forums. I will post a picture when I find something other than pull tabs.
