First trip out with my ACE 150. Definitely hooked.

After work yesterday, I came home and found it had been delivered. I know people usually recommend the 250 as a starter but I didn't even know if I'd use it much so I went with the 150.

Anyways, next to me across the street is a park. Every year we have a carnival and people come from all around the state. It ends up that there is some very high traffic (10-20000 people over a weekend in my town of 2500). Anyways, I decided I'd check it out, I don't know if it's ever been detected and if not, I'm sure there are some dropped treasure. There are vendors and little stalls that people set up to sell stuff so there are pretty good chances of all manner of items.

Anyway, when out for half an hour before it started raining on me. Found every target that it dinged at with relative ease. I was impressed with the accuracy.

Within that half hour I found a bobby pin, a soda tab (90s style, kind of rectangular) and a 1964 penny and a piece of foil. While none of this stuff is treasure, it definitely got me hooked. I think I'm going to take my knife with my next time to make the digging a bit easier. I look forward to hopefully finding some quarters at least

I had an Ace 150 for a short while and I did really enjoy using it. It is a nice machine and extremely easy to operate. Unfortunately I "outgrew" it in about 15 minutes. Keep it up and you will be pulling out your wallet and upgrading your machine in no time.

Welcome
I'm about three weeks or so ahead of you. It just keeps on being fun. Good days, bad days its fun. I'm a fat, old retired fellow. It gets me out in the fresh air exercising. If I find anything, it's just icing on the cake.

Have fun with it.

Just remember, the screen isn't telling you, for example, "That's a pulltab down there!"

It's saying "There might be a pulltab down there."

Bear that in mind, and you'll never think the screen lied to you.
