Got back out today for 3 hours after work. I have gone thru my front and back yard many times with my old Garrett detector from 1985. I found quite a few coins today, some 4 inches deep! But, most of all, I found my first SILVER ring! It is a child's ring and says STER inside with a trident like logo above it. That was pretty cool to find. It was about 2 to 3 inches down. I am not sure really because I was looking for it to be a coin and missed it entirely out of the hole. I had to go back over the pile with the Ace to find whatever it was. Man, that was great. Found several cents, but all 1960 and newer. One cent was 4 inches down. My old Garrett never went that deep. Good to know the Ace is capable of that. Found a Putt Putt golf token from 1981. Interesting to find in the yard. Got an old heavy metal liquor bottle cap that was mangled. Couple of other things too. I am tired.

Great finds and glad the ace is doing well for you. I might sell some of my detectors but the ace will be one that won't be sold. HH and GL
 

way to go LBJ ! thats a very nice ring and there might be more out there waiting for you :thumbsup: go slow and that ace will find some deep stuff :wink:
 

The Ace250 works real good in play ground also. It will ring like a telephone...lol Good luck and keep up the good work. :thumbsup:
 

I've also recently bought an Ace 250 and I love it. As you noted, silver rings register with the coin tone. Just keep working and experimenting with it and you have a lot of great finds ahead of you. Good luck.
 

Nice finds....beautiful ring! It's nice to see that otheres are using their "old reliables"!! I have a 20-year-old White's Eagle II that works as well today as it did when it was new! Although I have upgraded detectors, I still fire up the 'ol Eagle II and alwaysmake good finds with it! :thumbsup:

nice job on the silver ring! Wait until you get a Minelab Explorer SE. You will be getting clad coins at 7-8 inches down. Congrats on getting the new machine! :thumbsup:

I wish I was still living up in Anacortes. I would show you clad finds at 8 inches with an Ace250. I B.S. you not, as it happens quite frequently. My deepest was a silver find at 10 inches in black sandy loam that turned out to be a very old and quite valuable opal set in sterling. Rang up like a dime over and over and I actually thought that was what I was digging.
