Default First day out..

I went out this morning to try my ACE 250...I searched some trails around a water supply lake near the house. (A lot of people fish there). I found several things, nothing extraordinary or worth anything. Just for post sake, it was three lead fishing weights, an old bolt, an old pen, a nail, the brass top off a shotgun shell, a four inch metal bar that looked like it had been severed off of something. I also found two rocks that set of the ACe 250 like crazy, I can't determine why or what each contains that caused the 250 to go nuts. If its not raining, will be out again tomorrow...

Hey, keep those rocks. If they are Meteorites, they could be worth alot of money. There are a few people on the site here who collect and sell them. Post pics of them, and see what they come up with. Keep up the good hunting.

Well we won't hold that against you.

Sounds like you had fun.

Sounds like a good start, we all dig our share of junk, I had a nail pouch full of pull tabs and bottle caps today !!!

Throw a penny on the ground and listen to the sound you Ace250 makes, should be what I like to call a "double" bell tone, remember that sound, I like to call in the "money" tone !!!

Congrats on the digs !!!

Digging all signals at first is a great way to learn your detector; And like Dooby suggested, throw some coins down to see where they hit on your meter and hear what each one sounds like.

We all dig a lot of trash; part of the game

Default Thinks for the tips..

Dick and Dooby. We are having a massive thunderstorm right now, so hopefully that will help the digging tomorrow. I will use those tips you passed on to me. Thanks much!
