IM RICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'M RICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got my Ace 250 today and found $1.23! My wife is beside herself. First hobby I ever had that I got something back! Guess it will come to me but I am getting a lot of aluminum hits even when on coin mode. Set sens about half way and still picking up a lot of tabs and tops. Guess I will learn what to dig someday. Tried all metals mode first and sure found a lot of nails. It works. I love it.

Hey Z keep it up and who knows maybe you will strike it rich. Regardless, you'll probably have a great time detecting and getting into the hobby. Give it the time and you should really start seeing some great results. Welcome to the forum and good luck! HH

Where ever there are pull tabs there were people there and soon enough that pull tab signal will really be a silver or gold ring. Keep us posted.

Welcome to the club and don't worry you'll have better days and of course worse days. As long as you enjoy the hunt you'll never know what under the dirt until you swing away. It's never a dull moment and you'll always find something.

Best of luck!

Re: I'M RICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the forum and the only hobby on earth where you spend a grand to find $1.50 in clad and enjoy every minute of it! I hit silver on my second day out with the DFX, can happen to you, too!

Welcome ztzzt! Be careful it is addictive! It's odd how you won't pick up a dropped penny at the corner store but you dig for hours looking for one with a 400$ machine...
And thanks for the list of supplies guys! A magnet would come in handy! Funny but I never thought of that... I could kick myself thinking about how long I've spent digging around the same hole looking for a tiny bit of wire. Where can you buy a large one?

Welcome to TNet, great machine the ACE 250 I just moved onto a DFX...this is addictive!

Re: I'M RICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

... and sure found a lot of nails....

I've come to the conclusion that nails are not made by man, but actually grown in the ground. When you see a box of nails in the hardware store, those were harvested on nail farms and cleaned and sold.

Re: I'M RICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its still not too late to send the ACE back and turn and walk away man. Im sure after some heavy DT's and a week in rehab you could almost be the man you were before the sickness overcame you. If you allow the condition to persist even another day or two..well..Im sorry to tell you but you will be hooked for life...Shoot

It's all too true! I didn't follow this advice and am need of a fix as I type this...Dang shaking hands anyway!

Re: I'M RICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You'd be surprised how little time it takes for your machine to pay for itself. I cashed my clad in a few weeks ago and came up with more than enough to pay for my ACE 250. I may be a bit longer paying for my GTI 2500! Monty

Re: I'M RICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, your on your way now. You bought one of the finest detector's on the market, Congratulations! Maybe you don't know the old saying, you have to dig junk to find the good stuff. Trust me it's true! I am including a picture of finds from my partner and I. We both use the ACE 250 with a SunRay Probe attached to each detector.

Keep digging and keep us posted. I can't wait to see what your going to find next.

HH, Ringfinder

P.S. I am also including a couple of pictures of my detector and a coin in a hole I dug. The next picture is the Silver Washington Quarter I dug out of the hole. I dug this coin up Nov. 28, 2006.
