first surface find =incredible timeing.

[Murph]

Have about six hours in at the beach with the new ace 250. Plenty of coins, a junk watch and a match box car so far. Have about fifty digs with only ten percent junk which I suspect is a good stat for just about any machine. Correct me if I am wrong. Certain junk items will definitely fool this detector.

The larger head phones that came with the MD are keeping most of the curious from bugging me but I did get my first "find any pirates gold" from a pair of older gentlemen. The good part was I was over a pocket drop of loose change at the time, get a lot of these at the public beach and most coin finds are in groups. I was just about to pretend I couldn't hear them due to the head phones when I notice a nickle from the drop was right on the surface.

Bent over and picked it up and tossed it over to the wisecracker and informed him that back in his day he could have bought a cup of decent coffee with that. They got a bit of a chuckle out of that and moved on. Sometimes things just fall into place perfectly.

Funny story! I had a gang of 3 older gents come up on me at a lake beach, no sand just grass. I just hit a good target when they approached, had a few minutes of conversation before I dug the target. Told them I was about to dig a nice target and up popped a nice silver 925 ring with a turqoise stone, they were impressed and I was even more impressed, LOL, as you probably know, pull tabs sound a lot like rings. HH, Mike

Glad to hear that the 250 is doing you good; I'm thinking of getting one for the wife so she can go with me. I've noticed that the coins are generally close together at the beach too which suits me just fine.
