Hey folks, I just got my first metal detector ace-250. I'm excited to start digging my property, pretty interesting thread explaining the two properties I'm going to be starting on over in the cache forum...
anyhow, I figured this would be the best place to post these specific questions, so please bear with me being a newbie and admittedly ignorant.
I see lots of "dig everything" statements from reading on here, now obviously these detectors have discrimination and I understand what it does and how it does it for the most part, but... Should I set my discrimination to ignore Iron? What is worst case scenario if I do set it to ignore Iron? I'm expecting LOTS of nails and bullet brass, but also expecting to dig LOTS of silver here (from large pieces down to coins). I know there are at least 2 high dollar gold/diamond rings lost during our annual bar-b-q's over the years (hope I can find those so I can surprise the owners with them).
