Broken Ace250 Still Finds V Nickle And IH

[crazyjarhead]

Hello everyone. Just got home today from a trip to Seattle, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Texarkana and Indianapolis before heading home to Ohio.. Had to get out for a hunt to satisfy my urge to find some goodies. While I was gone my Ace was knocked over by my son and broke the head off of the frame. I had to tape it back on for now. This wasn't going to spoil my hunt tonight . I'll have to figure out another way to mend it later.

Went back to the church picnic grounds where and old home used to stand before the turn of the 20th century. After about an hour I had found a 1906 IH, a 1911 V nickle, a 1942 Wheat and a gold plated ring which I thought was real when I first saw it. I didn't take my camera tonight as I normally do but here is what I found:

It works. Just the main head is taped onto the shaft. Looks pretty cheezy

Yup.
I broke the curved part which the arm forms into, called them up expecting to buy another.
The lady wouldn't hear of it, she insisted on sending it for nothing, so I didn't argue.
She didn't even ask how it was broken, and it was in my mail box 3 days later.

Just called Garrett and a new housing will be shipped today. I told the guy the truth but he said it's still covered. I was really happy. I'm going to replace it myself instead of sending it to them. I can't be without my detector for that long. Thanks for the info . If you wouldn't have said anything i would not have known
