First time Ace 250

[JackRussell]

Yesterday afternoon i went and picked up my first MD. I messed around behind my garage in Minnesota all i found was some old square nails, probably from the carriage house that was there at one time. And today i got to our home in fl and i went to the park and i dug up water pipe, it was only 2" down all over the place.. for spickets ... I would think that stuff would be a bit deeper... And some old pop tabs.. Maybe better luck next time..

Stay with it JackRussell,
The good stuff will come. Remember that square nails indicate a fairly old place. It may be a good place for further detecting.
Keep us posted.

Hello Jack & Welcome to the forum...
Congrats on your new machine. The more you use it the better you will get with it.
I'd go back to where the square nails were at. Usually where there are square nails there are older coins...
Good luck & Happy hunting~

P.S.> Love that little dog pic...

Thanks everyone, i will hit that area back up when i get back 2 Minnesota... I used the MD in the Florida back yard and i also found a lot of nails and some more odd objects that are metal with small screws in them.. And a old electric plug wall plate that was way rusted and also this odd rough black colored rock that makes my MD go nuts.!!!

JackRussell, Welcome to the forum. There are a lot of Ace 250 user's on the forum. If you have any questions about it, post it, and I'm sure you'll get a lot of responses. From what I've read, it seems that you got the best detector in the market for the price!

Have you made a coin garden in your backyard yet? If not, this is a great way to practice and learn the signals your machine gives for the different things you want to find.

I'd clean all that trash out first and by the time you do that you should be getting used to your 250 [exelent machine] and keep going back over the yard you'll find stuff. Just ask mud or anyone else who is still learning.
