Hey guys,

The systems went down at work so I was the first to put up my hand for half a day off, I decided to get out my new ace250 which I purchased over a year or two ago and I haven't had a chance to really take it for a swing.

I started off at my local park which has some history, however soon as I set myself up some guy told me another detectorist has beaten me to it and cleaned out the park a couple of days ago! And he was right all I found were heaps of ring pulls and a beaten up ammo shell.

So I head for another lesser known park which I assumed had some kind of coin dropping history! but no, only junk iron was to be found, and I really doubt I'll be going back there without earth moving equipment - I couldn't dig an inch without striking rocks!

So head for the bush and found some bullets, better then nothing.
I still had a great time out and about tho, I had drop into my inlaws so I decided to detect their front lawn, and I found 20cents (finally something of value!) and what appears to be 9mm rounds and their used shells in the same hole!!

anyhow if I don't stop typing and post some pics this post will turn into a novel called "How not to metal detect!"


P.s: If this doesn't make sense , sorry I have only had 3hours sleep in the past two days.

I find bullets everywhere I go....That was a good hunt. I've used mine for almost 3 years now and I love it. good luck to you
 
keep at it and as you learn your machine the finds will improve. thanks for sharing get some rest and hh
 
its a start --you offically found money
 
Not trying to give any lessons or anything but a little research on the computer usually pays off when it comes to sites to hunt...
 
250 is a great machine. Nice finds. HH.....
 
Two years with my Ace250 1895 coins the first year and almost 1800 coins this year. Two half dollars 1943 WL and 1954 Franklin. 1 barber dime. For the most part I hunt city parks and none of them are particularly old. I know that other md'rs have been there but I still go back as no park, to the best of my knowledge, is ever hunted out. I have numerous sterling rings and one gold and sterling crusifix. This machine is very good just takes time to learn it. Once you trust what your machine is saying you will be off to the races. HHHH
 
Thanks for the tips and nice words,

I'm slowly getting the hang of it, I think I need to setup a test bed to help with the different sounds the different metals make, today in the back yard I unearthed a whole bunch of junk, not one coin though :(

I'm sure I'll find some great stuff to post up!
Have a Merry Christmas
Tom
