    LIBRARY DOESN'T ACCESS SANBORN!

    I went to our library the other day and asked about being able to access Sanborn maps. They said, "What are Sanborn maps? I never heard of it". Then I went to the historical society. I asked them about Sanborn maps and got basically the same answer. I then asked if they had ANY old maps, Plat...

    Hidden Homesight

    I was so excited, a friend offered to take me to an old home sight she knew of where the land was not posted. I thought it would be close to the road and no problem getting to, so I wore my sandals that day. She drove me way out into the country and pulled down into a field and stopped. She said...

    Hints and tips in the archives?

    I was scanning the archives of this forum and found a posting where someone said they were going to do a list of hints and tips for the Ace 250. Did that list every get posted anywhere or is it available? He was going to put it on a web-sight but I could find nothing on that particular web-sight...

    Old vineyard claimed its trophy!!!!!

    I finally got down to the old vineyard that exactly 50 years ago at the age of 12, I threw a silver and jade ring. (it was a steep abandoned vineyard across a gully from our back yard). Now that I am "detecting" I got permission from the owner of the land to hunt there. My grandson and I went...

    No audio with pinpoint?

    Yesterday while detecting, I would get a good signal but sometimes when I would try to pinpoint it with the 250, it would show on the display, but I would either get no audio at all, or a very faint one I could hardly hear. I thought something was wrong with the headphones, but other signals I...

Am most interested in old maps that show where houses once stood. Am trying to locate some old locations of homes in the area. Thanks for any help or...

    Looking for a ring lost 50 years ago in abandoned vineyard

    Just about exactly 50 years ago when I was 12, I threw what I think was a silver ring (either Jade or Emerald) into the old abandoned vineyard across the gully from our house. Now I want it back! Unfortunately, all the wires are laying on the ground, the vineyard is overgrown, AND it is on a...

    Coil covers

    Do you or do you not hunt with the coil covers on? I have covers for two of my coils, but none for the Sniper yet. What is the story anyway?:shrug:

    Any papers with Sniper Coil?

    My sniper coil for the Ace 250 arrived today. Got it from a reputable Garrett dealer via internet, nice price, free shipping. However, I got no paperwork. Should I have? Like maybe a warranty paper to send in like I did with my Pro-Pointer? Anything?:garrett:

    Sniper coil or 6.5 x 9? :confused:

    Another question: I was about to order the Sniper coil but I already have the 9X12 and the 6.5x9. When do I use each one and where would the Sniper 4x5 be the one to use over the other two? :confused:

    I DID IT! :crazy: IT IS ON THE WAY!

    When I asked the difference between Garrett Pro Pin-pointer and the Automax, I got so much helpful advise that I HAD to order the Pro. I so appreciate all of you for all the tips and the wealth of information I have been able to glean from all of you. Now, I have a brand new Automax for sale...

    Garrett Pinpointer VS Automax?

    Can anyone tell me what the main difference is between the Garrett Pin-pointer that everyone is talking about and the Automax? I got the Automax pin-pointer free from KellyCo last year when I bought my Ace. Is it any good? :confused:

    What am I doing wrong? This newbie needs HELP!

    Took my Ace 250 out behind my house where there are a lot of woods. Hunters have been going through there for years. I set the sensitivity at 4 bars, put it on all metal. Every now and then I would get it registering iron/foil, sometimes with one ding, sometimes a double. I pinpointed with the...

    Newbie!

    Hello all, I am just beginning here in the Southern Tier of NY. Have had the Ace 250 for over a year but was building an addition with my husband, since our retirement a year ago, which took all of our time and therefore have not really used the detector for actual searching. My husband bought...
