My very first finds

[pris]

Junk and all . I kept getting these ghost signals and would dig and dig and get nothing, so I moved on to a different location. This is my second day with my new Ace 250 and it's so much fun. I just have to get over the fact that people stare at me as they pass by.

So I went to this park right by my apartment and I dug up what I think used to be a nail!! That was my first "Official" find. Then I dug a can lid. My next dig was a 1970 dime and it just about popped out of the ground. I dug right to it. It was very impressive. It was getting dark, so I decided that after my next dig I would stop. I ended up finding an old mangled can of some sort.

WTG...you are on your way to being hooked for life.....
Very good for the first couple of times out....As you learn your machine you will find more and more.

Hey Pris, not bad for the first time out. At least you are out swinging the coil. It will only get better from here. You might try turning the sensitivity down a little to stop the false signals. Keep us posted and good luck

You're on the right track and practice makes perfect ... you will improve each time out ... good luck!

Welcome, welcome, I kinda had the same on my first trip. 3 pennies, several pull tabs, screen door latch, very rusty and bent but had lots of fun,


keep hunting, there is lots out there to find,

"Junk and all"
A find is a find is a find.
It will only get better. Just keep on learning the machine and you will be posting great finds real quick.

Just let them stare, keep those headphones on and just keep on "a-go'in"! Most of them are just plain jealous.

Well, unless I had found some silver or gold, but you know what I mean. I brought in my finds so my friends here at work could ooh and aah over a dirty dime and some junk. It's just so darn fun!

I'm so happy to be able to come here and share with people who understand the thrill. I think I'm going to the beach tonight. Being Valentines Day and all it will serve a couple of purposes.

Good job, you have to start somewhere. good luck with your beach hunt (at least you can get out).
