That's weird, why is that reply showing as edited in? It's a good reply, anyways...bet you wished you still had the chevy!
Coop, I'm new to metal-detecting and new to this site as well. Hope you find as much enjoyment as I have.
peace,

LoL, I hit the wrong buttons all the time. Realized too late that you would have more buttons than usual to contend with...
Coop, I see you have an Ace 250 also. How do you like it?
cheers,

Coop, I don't have too many tips...I've had mine less than a month now. I have been out detecting everyday though, but there really isn't much chance of finding anything until I can get to a less remote location. I am amazed, though, at the little bits of metal here and there that do exist even in un-populated areas.
Since there's not much around I usually use "all-metal' mode and one bar back from full sensitivity. If the machine starts to beep false once and awhile when I bump it on a clump of grass or terrain then I turn down the sensitivity a bit more.
I did set up a test patch with coins (penny, nickle, dime, quarter, half, Ike) and a bolt and pulltab buried at aprox. 6". This helps me get a feel for things. I pretty much go off of sound though and if it beeps I start digging.
I know everybody says that you absolutely need an auxiliary pin-pointer but I don't have one and even though this is the first detector I have ever used I find that the built-in pin-pointing function works really good. The ace is very sensitive though and sometimes those little bits of metal it senses are tiny...that's where the pin-pointer would help. To compensate I just wave a handful of dirt past the coil. Then I know when I have it...even then the little specks are hard to find!
Yeah, like how it is for my own posts, but yours would be on all of them (I didn't realize). Didn't mean to clutter the thread with my curiosity/confusion.
peace all,
