question 'bout diggin' old coins ?
i have seen lately a lot of discussion about why people like me don't find old coins. I have a garrett ace 250 and have been hunting for about 3 months now and have found about $10.00 in change (i am not retired and have a wife and 2 little kids that prevent me from being out as much as i wish i could be). now from what i understand i should be hunting in the all metal mode because coins that have been in the ground for a hundred years work their way down to where the signal may be misinterpreted by the machine. if this is the case what signals would you trust. what i mean is should i dig what comes up as foil or beer tabs?? i have been digging beer tabs a lot more lately just in case it may be something else like a ring or nickle. i have read that if the discriminator jumps more than one or two indicators then its trash. PLEASE help me understand my ACE !!
