Re: Interesting first couple of months of MD'ing

Thanks alot.....The silver rings were found in soccer fields, the German WWII medal was in a small town park, and the old coins were in an orchard out in Preble county, Ohio. Now, I have a good question as I start venturing past playgrounds and soccer fields. I'm wondering how waterproof a regular detector is. I have an old Master 7X Garrett and a new ACE 250.....They are supposed to have waterproof coils. Does this mean that I could search lake beaches about a foot into the water?? Any answers will help....Thanks so much. Goadster

Yes, If their water proof you should have no Problems.

just keep the controls dry.

of course IF the Older one has a solid Coil it may want to float.

a little Liquid Plastic, where the wire enters the coil, AS EXTRA PROTECTION.
Dosn't hurt.

Just in case

Re: Interesting first couple of months of MD'ing

Thanks, Jeff.....That's a great idea about a sealant. I'll try a tube of silicone. I also find on the ACE 250 that when I shorten the handle the excess coil wire down by the coil will give off a nice little beep, so I'm going to make a velcro strap that I can put on the handle to hold the cable up, then velcro it tight, to help eliminate the extra false beeps....Thanks again,,,,,Goadster

Re: Interesting first couple of months of MD'ing

Thanks Jarman,,,,,,Before I got into TH'ing, I would always wonder how some guys would go out about every night and fish. I like to fish, but not every night......Now, here I am, just like an avid fisherman. I keep both detectors in the car at all times, just in case my car accidentally, on purpose, drives near a soccer field, a playground, a park, etc.....This is way too much fun.....Goadster

Re: Interesting first couple of months of MD'ing

Hi, thanks for the response......I have to go to Columbus, Oh next week on a business trip and thought it would be a good time to drop off the coin at the ANACS office in Dublin, Oh. where it can be graded and verified....From all of the great responses on this websites I feel real good about the find since it was over 6 inches in the ground in a backyard of an old house.......Either way, it was a blast, as it is every time I strap on the ACE 250........As they say, "Ya just never know what the next beep will pop up".....Thanks ,,,,,Goadster
