    How is the Tejon on coins?

    Hi all. Ive read all over the net that the Tejon is a deep relic machine. But, how does it do on coins? Will it pick up deep old silver dimes? I've read that it eats brass like Corn Flakes, so it must be good on copper. Please give any opinions/observations. I'm choosing my next detector with...

    What would your pick be and why?

    Hi all. I currently use an ACE 250 with the largest factory coil, and I'm doing well for relics and old coins. However, I want more capability and I'm looking at the Fisher F70, Tesoro Tejon or the Garrett 1500 GTI. I respect anyones choice of detector so I hope that we can have an adult...

    How much of an upgrade is this?

    I've had my ACE for two seasons now and I've found many wonderful relics and old/silver/copper coins. I'll post up my year end totals when the ground freezes. I feel that going to the largest factory coil gave me more depth this year with my ACE, but.......... How much of a jump would it be for...

    Broken ACE arm cuff

    I fell and snapped one side of the plastic arm cuff, that the Velcro retainer goes through. I Krazy glued it and waited 24 hours, half an hour out, snap. Next I repeated the procedure with Permatex Ultra Bond Gel super glue. It lasted for about an hour. Anyone know of a glue that will actually...

    Why the ACE 250 slam?

    I frequent another site and I've noticed a disregard or down right disdain toward the ACE 250. Some view it as a kiddies toy or an entry machine to disregard. I don't view it that way. I feel that this is a STRONG entry machine that can deliver the goods. I also see some seasoned users with it...

    Hori Hori digger

    Any experience with a Hori Hori digging tool? I used a pretty heavy duty unit last year (Jackson digger) and managed to mangle it by hammering a 2.5 sledge on the back of the pommel. Ya, I queered it up trying to dig a frozen field. I won't be as brutal this time with this one. It's the black...

    It's going to zero in a few days, better check my batteries

    I went out a few weeks ago and dug some (chiseled out) some 45-75 bullets fired from the North West Mounted Police 1876 (centennial big bore) rifles, back in the 1880's-1890's. I always find slugs in this field, along with some other very interesting relics. I'd rather hack bullets out of a...

    Real world depth on detectors?

    With all factors being equal and over non mineralized soil, say deep black farm loam, what REAL depths should a guy expect from the ACE 250, Garrett 1350, and the Garrett 2500. All would be detecting a silver quarter or an old large cent in moist early season soil.

    Chiseled em' out of frozen ground

    I took my mini sledge and chiseled some bullets out of the ground, out at my Mountie field. It was around zero Celsius and a foot of snow. Spring is still a ways off around here yet.

    North West Mounted Police spur question

    Hi all. In my first season of detecting with my ACE, I found some super great North West Mounted Police relics up here in Canada, while field hunting. This winter with down time, I've been wondering what I missed by notching out iron. There are A LOT of iron signals in that field and I may just...

    Will severe cold kill my ACE 250?

    I have some more time off with the holidays and I'm thinking about checking a few spots out but............ Today it is -32 Celsius and the rest of the week will be -20 to -25. I don't want to destroy my machine with one winter hunt. Will severe cold damage/destroy my 250?

    Need help to ID lever action carrier block

    I found this lever action carrier block in a field close to an 1880's North West Mounted Police site. I believe that it's from a Winchester. The closest that I've seen to this piece is the Winchester 1873, but it's not an exact match. The mounties used the big bore 45-75 1876 or Centennial...
