Well the ups man finally came. So I fired up my brand spakin new Garrett Ace 250. Did the bench test and headed out. Went into my back yard, turned on the detector and beep. Right there, so I did the pin pointer like I watched on youtube and dug up my first piece of scrap. I'm so proud of that piece of scrap. I couldn't believe it. Target after target and I was right on pin pointing. I only had 1 hour before dark to hunt. No body told me I was going to get dirty! No one told me that I would have to dig deeper than just the plug, lol. No one told me that my back would kill. I've played tackle football games and didn't hurt as bad, lol. And I found my first coin!!!!! It's only a 1993 quarter that is totally corroded but I love it. I posted my pics of what I dug up in an hour. A couple questions, I was digging a couple holes and then I completely lost the signal. Could it have been like a mineral deposit or something? Also, If your machine beeps is it always something to dig or are there false positives sometimes? Well, cant wait till morning and head back out. Thank you all and I cant believe how accurate I was first time out. Amazing!
