My Garrett got a gun!

So far this is my best find. I immediately called the sheriff and had it taken away. They asked if i wanted it if no one claimed it, I declined the offer.

if it wasnt stolen or used in a crime, around here they would sell it in a police surplus auction..
how deep was it, or was it laying on the ground??

Congratulations, that is one great find. You did the right thing by reporting it to the police. I would definitley try to get it back and if anything, it would make a nice display piece. Did you search the area again. It might be a cache or ammo or other guns were buried.

Man, nice find. The ACE 250 just keeps going and going and going. Don't you just love it. I bet you would
really like the SunRay Probe that fits on this detector. It is a great addition to this detector.

Once again, thanks for looking and the comments everyone.
It was set on the ground and covered with a pile of leaves. Of course, I scanned the area pretty well and got no other signals.
Yes, I'm pretty happy with the ace250, other than a few things I'm enjoying it. Truth be told, I can't wait to get a better machine, mainly for the better balance.
The pinpointer comment is timed well, I just got a stud finder/ metal detector made by stanley and it works great as a pinpointer. It is sensitive enough to pinpoint the microchip in my dogs neck. My partners pinpointer(whites I think) wouldn't pick it up.
thanks again.

I have heard of folks using them with great success as a pinpointer. I have never tryed it but just might now. A stud/metal finder made by stanley huh and it works great?

The only reason I considered it in the first place was the separate button for " "metal scan". Technically it has 3 depth settings, from 1/2" to 1 1/2". It has an LCD "bullseye" style depth display, the closer you get to the target the smaller the bullseye gets. And i got it from the local "Big Lots" for $15.88. I figured if it didn't work as a pinpointer I could just put it in the toolbox as a stud finder.
Oh yeah, it is also an AC wire finder, it has a separate tone and light for it detecting the presence of AC voltage

roughly how deep you pin pointed with it?

 

[ringfinder]

My Sun Ray Probe will go around 2-3 inches deep, some of the hand held pinpointers don't do this well. I have one of the vibrating probes and your lucky to get a 1/2 inch. The Sun Ray works off of your detector and if you have a read out on the screen it will tell you what the target is. You switch off the detector when you using the probe. It is a metal detector. It also runs off of your detector's batteries.
