We spent the weekend a sommerville agien, saw 2 detectorist whil coming in but they werent in the water just along the edge. We went to our usaull park. My wife finally got a intrest after seeing my last rings selling on ebay for over 300.00 and currently pushing 400.00, so she decided to give it a try. she got out the ace 250, and brought it over so I got out of the water to show her how to use it. I set it up and said find a signal and we'll see what it tells us. right off withing 2 steps she gets one, i go over tell her it could be a penny or a pop top as it was bouncing alittle.

And I dug this 10K with 13 diamonds, unbelivable beginers luck. I left her alone after that and she dug some clad.
She skunked me. heres the pics of all the finds.

The trash pics is about a 3rd of what I threw away.

What did you set the ace 250 on Jewerlery? Because I need me some gold buddy. Got the prius gassed up fresh batteries for a month even back up detectors. My wife is hating me right now because I purchased two detectors on line and have'nt found enough to cover the cost of the batteries let alone the detectors.
