    These are my Garrett Ace 250 keeper finds from May 1st to June 5th. Not shown are the pounds of metal trash that I had to dig in the process of getting them. ha. I estimate that I dig between 15-20 pull tabs, trash, and recyclable brass or copper item for every keeper that I find. Near...
  4. 96 Hours So Far on Ace 250

    I just put my 96th hour of my 100-hour goal on my Garrett Ace 250 metal detector, hunting in my own front yard for an hour this evening. I found 1 dime, 3 memorial pennies, and 1 old wheat penny which was 8" deep. I'm soaking some of the dirt off of the wheat cent so that I can read the...
  5. 2-Ring, 4-Pieces of Jewelry Day with the Ace 250!

    I posted this on my Facebook page last night after this exciting hunt. I have now logged 86 or the 100 hours that the late Charles Garrett recommended on my Garrett Ace 250. I had to drive some distance to get to my detecting site this evening but it was worth the time and effort. Since my...

  8. ✅ SOLVED Marked Ford but what is it?

    I found this brass item in a very old yard where I've found coins dating back as far as 1901. It's marked "Ford" in script near the bottom, like the old Ford tools are marked. It's 2 and 3/16" inches high and 1.5" across at the bottom. I was going to put it in my scrap bin because I didn't...
  9. ACE 250 issues

    Hot day yesterday, so this is kinda weird I was out detecting at a local park, I was pulling out targets left and right (mostly trash) (I had discriminated out Iron, foil, and nickel on Jewelry setting). After about an hour the machine goes berserk, jumping all over the place, beeping like...
  10. Can you put an GARRETT ACE coil on an AT Pro detector?

    I'm going to buy an Garett AT Pro soon, so when I'm gonna buy it, I will probably buy it with a larger coil. But if you want to have a smaller coil on it sometime when your out metal detecting can you put on an smaller coil from my Garett Ace 250 on the AT Pro? Thank you
  11. Ace 250?

    Hello I recently bought the Ace 250 and am still learning it. I was wondering what is your experience with the Ace 250 and what are some cool finds you have found with it. I have been detecting at a 1920's home at up near the house where it is less trashy I can get targets really deep I found a...
  12. Fisher F2 vs Ace 250 (2015)

    Hello all, I cant really decide which one to buy as my first detector. Initially I was about to get the Ace 250 but then I found out about Fisher F2. I read many good things about it, such as it has better coil, better "software" and better sound system. Everything seems better with F2 except...
  13. First Seated, and an Old One Too!

    Detecting in Utah, you don't expect to find many older coins. The pioneers who founded the state only came in around 1847, so settlements are typically much newer than that. That is why this find was so exciting! I wasn't really feeling like knocking on doors today, so I decided to try to find...
  14. Ace 250/350 MODS: wireless audio mod + internal speaker + backlight

    Just got back from taking my new wireless audio mod for a test drive, and it worked perfectly! I used a Bluetooth transmitter, Mono 1/4 to 1/8 cable, and a BT headset. Transmitter: MPOW Streambot Slim Wireless Portable Bluetooth Stereo Music Transmitter http://goo.gl/8uNj5O Cable: Mono 1/8...
  15. Newbie here from South Texas

    Hi everybody. Rick here from South Texas by the Mexican Border. It had been a long time since I wanted to get me a metal detector and I just did on ebay, got me two actually, an Ace 250 and a Fisher F5. Don't know where to start so I figured treasurenet was the place to begin at. Anyway, just...
  16. Local parks field keeps on giving, silver pocket spill and an Indian head.

    Local park's field keeps on giving, silver pocket spill and an Indian head. Only was able to hunt for around a hour before people came to use the fields for soccer practice and I decided to just keep out of the way but I did find some goodies. This makes my first ever Merc's I found and...
  17. Short evening hunt with the Ace 250 leads to more silver!

    Finally had the opportunity to go for a hunt a bit this evening. Lucky for me the section of park that I've been hunting lately because it seems to be overlooked by other detectorist was free of kids practicing baseball or soccer! I started abouts where I left off the last time and started...
  18. Couldnt sleep, so when the sun came out, I hit the local elementary school.

    Couldn't sleep, so when the sun came out, I hit the local elementary school. Ended up with ring number 3 for me! Possibly silver(Non magnetic, rung up where a silver dime would on the Ace 250) Tho no markings. Update: I tested it with a drop of bleach and it tarnished, so I'm going to say...
  19. Not the biggest find ever, but its my biggest find so far. 29.1 grams of 925 silver!

    Not the biggest find ever, but it's my biggest find so far. 29.1 grams of 925 silver! Hallmarks are 925 Italy and QGI. (My camera can't get a good enough picture of the hallmarks to share) Found with my Ace 250.
  20. ACE 350 vs ACE 250 frequency differences.

    I have heard several comment suggesting that an ACE 250 with a second coil is preferable to the Standard ACE 350. My question is: Does the difference in frequencies give the 350 any advantage over the 250 for relic hunting? Both of these options fall into my price range. Thanks, -Mark-
