Default First time out!

I was excited to say the least! I went ot a beach in Racine with my mom at around 7:30 PM. We had about an hour to search so we got right to it. In about 2 minutes- Pulltab. About 3 minutes later I found a Lincoln Memorial with no date. After that all I found was pulltabs and cans. The Ace 250 had alot of inconsistent beeping though. Is there any info on the DVD that came with it on how to "fine-tune" it?

1 hour: 1 penny and lots of aluminum
Excitment Value: 5697%



Feel free to laugh folks!

Thanks for readin

-Ben
