Hello all, after reading alot of posts and finds on here for 3 or 4 weeks, I decided to go ahead and buy a metal detector for Christmas. I got out about 3 hours yesterday. Thought i would take my 4 year old son to the park and try it out while he played. We got there and he ran to the swings and slides. I had only walked about 20 feet from the truck and i got a hit. My first dig was a 1977 quarter. I thought "not to bad". Anyway i think i found .87 cents in clad and one wheat penny. After about an hour my son was ready to go. So we loaded up and went to a friends house. I remember he told me once that it was built in the 1930s so i thought i would give it a try. I was there about ten Min's and found my first ever silver. A great looking 1945 silver merc dime. I was very happy. Found a few more junk and then a 1956 wheat penny.
Today i went to a football and baseball field behind a school. Spent about 4 hours there and got one more wheaty and i think about $1.77 in clad.
The detector i bought is an ace 150. I was wondering what the difference between the 150 and 250. Should i have spent the extra money and got the 250? I seem to be finding quite a bit of coins. Would the 250 find more. The guy at the store where i bought it told me theres not really that much difference. Thanks for the help...
