Ugly dime pic added 4/26: First day out with ACE 250 produces 1912 Barber Dime!

[West Jersey Detecting]

I picked up an ACE 250 last night. I figured the best place to give it a real test would be my "hunted out" park. I have found numerous Barbers and a few Mercs here before. Ironically, it is known as Silver Lake. I wanted to see if the ACE would go deeper than my CXIII, and it did. The dime was at 6 inches. I don't think I have found any dimes at that depth with the old detector. All of my silver from this park is ugly, but this is the saddest looking silver I have seen in a long time. I think it is even too ugly to post a picture of.

I am sold on the Ace 250's capabilities although I was having a tough time pinpointing with it. Is anyone interested in buying a Garrett Grand Master CXIII?

Just how ugly is it Neil

Congrats bud - you got my anticipation boiling...

I ordered a 250 two days ago and I am chomping at the bit to give it a swing.

Great Job,

Nick

Neil, I'm waiting for my 250 to arrive. Ordered it from Kellyco last weekend. UPS tracking says it will be delivered Monday, but it arrived at the UPS facility here in town at 2pm this afternoon. Hoping they get it on a truck and deliver it tomorrow. Like you, I'm looking forward to digging some deeper finds.

GREAT BARBER...THE 250 WON'T LET YOU DOWN....

 

[ernie]

the ace really rocks.

ACE 250: I have a CXIII and a few coils for it... ?MXT now.. My Son has a ACE 250 plus Sniper coil....
I installed a three way toggle like the Whites. One side momentary the other toggle. GREAT! You can lock pinpoint on.. Either a plastic scoop or just place dirt mat next to coil....

Next MOD - Get a new Shaft/Rod with tightening locks.... Install all Hardware... Probe ect...
LAST - Mod - 6v Florecent blast (Fry's Electronics) and a 3'' - 1/4 wide bulb under or over LCD inside the unit enclosure. A switch will be installed to conserve battery power....
I WILL make a monster out of his ACE 250!!!

That sure is one Great UGLY Dime.
I will take that any day over a clad or pulltabs.

Definately ugly...

borderline fugly, but silver is always fun to find. Looks like the Ace 250 is going to be cleaning those older deeper dimes for you. I also have a little trouble pinpointing the Ace, but not too worried, still get what beeps!!

Whew! I thought I was going to have to post a pic of yer dime for you too!

No matter that it has a few imperfections, Neil. Still an awesome find!

Silver isn't ugly just a little dull ,then you hit the gold and WHAM your eyes lite up and I am still diggin for gold .
Just remember it isn't "what you find" you are out having fun getting some exercise and fresh air ,the rest is a bonus.

Nice find by the way.
