    My first year detecting.........2008 finds

    First of all, let me thank my husband (seger98) for getting me into this fun hobby! If not for him, I wouldn't have found any of these things. We do research and scouting together and it's a great way to spend time with each other. I don't put in NEAR the amount of time he does so my finds aren't as many........

    For the year, I found:

    $18.32 in clad
    1891 V Nickel
    4 silver Roosie's
    2 Mercury Dimes
    my first piece of Archaic Copper
    numerous interesting doo dads

    Here's some pics, thanks for looking at my post. Kathy

    A great start!
    2009 will be even better!
    I would definitely get back to where ever you found the harmonica reed and pocketwatch.

    Yeah Jerry, it is a really nice machine for beginners like myself. Very easy to learn what it's telling you. I have learned and also seen from other members who have an Ace250 to keep the sensitivity turned down a few notches. This will keep you from getting false signals especially in trashy areas. It's pretty accurate with the readings and the pinpoint feature comes in handy sometimes too. I would definitely recomend it to anyone starting out. Lightweight too, which is good for longer days...........
