Congrats to you Coinstriking Michigan, on finding old coins, that is always a great feeling.



just fyi anyone with an interest in the ACE, my experience was that it could reliably differentiate bottlecaps from other items. It's been a while since I sold mine (I got a white's eagle spectrum, very similar to the XLT), but as i recall, when a bottlecap was under the coil, the indicator would bounce around in the coin to screwcap range; it would particularly change reads as you pulled the coil over and away from the spot (which happens with my whites also); if a pulltab or nickel or whatever was under the coil too it would bounce into the low reads as well. If the read stays on quarter or dime as you swing the coil in place, but changes as you move backward and forward, it's still a cap, probably a very rusty one, BUT...there could be a coin in there too, so I dig those. I may not be remembering all this stuff about the ACE exactly right anymore, but I am remembering exactly right that I used the ACE as my first machine, to dig about 50 silver coins in 8 months , and tons of clad, and i rarely ever dug a bottle cap once I figured out what was going on. Also, I'm not the only one to note this ACE behavior online, I've seen it in writing before in forums.

I'd say the ACE is probably one of the best machines for avoiding bottlecaps. imho, of course.

Thank you, finding old coins is a natural high. I can't get enough. Only thing better is when your family or friends are with you and they find something nice as well.

I am Coinstrikings brother. We pound these woods every chance we get and have found some really nice things. The history in this particular part of our area goes wayyyyy back. We have found everything from new clad to 3000-5000 year old copper items. It is a trash filled place. Tons of bottle caps, old cans, old fuel containers, glass, bottles, tons of other stuff. But we take trash out every time we hunt it so the next time we go back it is a little cleaner for swinging. Wonderful place to hunt. Maybe we will take some photos of the place, give you an idea of the general area.

Great job! Nickles are a hard find for me. Either MD'rs pull frist or its a rare /hard find because of VDI. They look so much like a pull tab with Whites machines...

If you start digging those pull tab sounds, you'll increase your nickel and gold ring totals.....and your pull tab totals! It's a lot more work but sometimes the payoff is worth it. Your call.
