Hi everybody! Let me start with saying that this is a great site and it has been a real big help over the past month and a half. I had a Ratshak detector about 10 or so years ago and never did really get into the hobby then I relocated to Delaware recently and started to get into the history of the area and then found this site and started doing a little research into which MD would be right for me by reading you guys and gals posts here at TNet and decided to go with the ACE 250 for 3 reasons.
1) The ACE 250 was highly recommended by many here at TNet.
2) The price fit into my budget, Big thanks to KellyCo.
3) The ACE 250 was highly recommended by many here at TNet.

Anywho, I got the ACE 250 on Friday, Sept. 21 and have found the items pictured below over a 2 week and 3 day period.
All the wheats, the silver Rosie, the Merc and the bullets were found in my yard while learning how to use that sweet little yellow MD.

WOW! THOSE ARE CIVIL WAR BULLETS FOR SURE. 58.CAL.MAYBE. WHAT STATE ARE YOU IN ?

Lets not jump to conclusions. They are Civil War Era, could have been used/dropped years after the war as well. They are late 19th century.

They certainly are Civil War period bullets. You have old coins and possibly war relics on your land. Sounds like it might be time to make nice with some of your neighbors.

HEHE, this is a really nice bunch of people around the neighborhood but I don't think they are going to let me dig in their manicured grass or flower beds. But they have made comments on the fact that I do allot of digging in my yard and they pretty much can't tell where I've been digging the next day.
