Welcome, welcome, welcome.... glad to have ya... This is an addicting hobby... I also bought a Ace 250 for my first detector. I still have it, its a great little machine... I'm now looking at an Garrett AT PRO... Invest in a good digging tool, Lecshe, Predator shovel, Garrett Pro-Pointer... Just a few suggestions that I think most would agree with... Good Luck and HH!!!! :hello2:

You are off to a good start. The Ace 250 is a great machine. Can't wait to see more of your posts. There are several youtube videos about the Ace 250.

Good for you for starting out with the discrimination turned way down (off?). I still can't bring myself to do that most of the time ::)

Join the M.D. Club! You will find a lot of excercise,clean air,knowlege shared & the many friends you will meet. The bonus is the excitement until you get the "Target" and clean it up! Some interesting, some good and others just down right great finds!
It is always time well spent, better than TV in my book.
Happy trails, best of luck to you on your hunts, may you hit lots of $$$ & gold too.
