I went to an abandoned beach on the Mississippi river, turned on my ACE 250, touched the coil to the ground and it beeped instantly, I found a dime.

My first find was a 1943 Walking Liberty half dollar. It was located 3 feet from my backdoor steps. I figured that was justification for buying the detector since I had heard, 'why do you want THAT thing?' :) Breezie
