    Lady in the trash...

    Went to one of my "coins" mode trashy parks. Set the sens. at 3 bars and was in the coins mode. Found about $3-can't wait to get my sniper coil. A few screwcaps at almost 7" impressed me at this sens. setting. But the most impressive was this "lady" at 5" with a clear signal-however I was...

    An Ace view, to anyone who cares to read....

    :laugh:My Ace went from sitting on a garage table for sale to my main detector. I read all the hoopla about it's slow recovery time, to the bongety-bong posters, etc. Well, I was STUCK with mine cause noone wanted to pay $175 for a near-new detector and I was too cheap to lower the price:laugh...

    Well, I guess tones DO rule....

    Got out with my Ace and Royal Sabre. The newer coins came from a relatively trash-free school-and most were found by the Ace. The Royal Sabre has a 4" coil and got the dirty work in the trashy park. Started out in notch mode UNTIL I found the ring by eyeballing it-too bad it wasn't real gold...

    Something wrong, something right, nothing great...

    On another forum, we were asked to give our best th'ing tip-mine was getting the sweep to the point where it was automatic so you could scan the search area with your eyes for tiny gold chains,,etc. Today I shared the hunt-my Ace on the low trash schools, and the Royal Sabre in the trashy...

    Hey Ski, check this out......

    I was like you-I went to an ID model and detected for a while because I wimped out on digging trash. Well, I felt a little energetic today, grabbed my trash apron and went to the local park. As luck would have it, they decided to renovate the tot lot, so I was forced to go to the trashy...

    Finally got back out....

    Went to my trashy spots since school was in session. Hunted in Sens. #2 and Coins mode w/my Ace. lt kinda cherry picks amonst all the trash-tons of zincers! When school let out I went to the tot lot section in sens. #4 and my favorite relics mode. Most of the cleaner coins were found there. The...

    Does anyone else do this?.....

    I read the numerous posts about the horrible bell tone and how it drives people crazy. Well, I'm hunting....I come upon a quarter just laying on the ground and ALL I have to do is pick it up---right? So, what do I do? I run the stinkin' coil over the coin just to HEAR that "horrible" sound and...

    OK, here's a wee post....

    I didn't even reach my usual totals this a.m., but I learned a few things about the Ace maybe worth sharing. I was in the jewelry mode with sens. at #3-I can usually size a target quicker at this sens. and since it's newer areas that are continually hunted, the targets aren't very deep. I got a...

    Monte, what will I be missing?.....

    I've tried to imitate the guys with the ED 180 by hunting in a/m mode. I find so much with the Royal. I know the disc. is a little high-about bottlecap-but I enjoying seeing those little pieces of foil and such being passed over. The only thing I've found in improvement is a fuller trash pouch...

    Made $20 today.....

    Found property stakes for a landowner in town. Learned a few things: 1). If a landowner needs to build something, like a fence, he MUST know the boundary markers for many legal reasons. 2). A very slim sharpshooter is a great tool to have 3). Try to remember the size of the signal when you find...

    WHAT hot weather? Got my Christmas tree today...:devil:

    Gave up on trying to find the gold rings by digging every nitpickin' little scratch that came on the Ace's speaker and started utilizing one of the Ace's great characteristics-the longer middle tone sound-or standard tone. From now on-since I don't have usually over an hour or three- I just dig...

    Just a little note on the Silver umax....:detecting:

    Was out detectin' since the school's are out. Got out to the field area and decided to try a/m mode ONE more time. I was astounded to hunt nearly 5 minutes without a signal! Had to pass my screwdriver in front of the coil to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Well, to make a long story short-the iron...

    Status quo?

    I've been reading quite a few posts for the last few months and have been bothered by this constant nagging thought: If gold is found just about anywhere on the ID spectrum, why the big fuss about Tesoro not coming out with some sooper-dooper do-do scooper of a metal detector and if the ID's...

    Would appreciate Ace feedback....

    I am trying to improve my ring finds in heavy trash areas and thus have included the "foil" icon in the Coins mode. Now I have found that the Ace rejects most of the common tabs with only the FIRST "tab" icon left blank and including the other-I call it "square tab" icon, since that is what...

    Tried Bill's pulltab trick today......

    I was in the Coins mode because it was trashy. Worked great on a lot of coins and was fun learning something new about my Ace. Wish I had a list of Ace tricks. Found it failed the test on a dime that was on edge at 3" and a zincer. Had to trust the repeatability of the Ace to get these coins...

    The saga continues....

    Well, I took the Royal Sabre with the notch again set to reject most of the square tabs in the nickel area while getting nickels, and had a little better luck with the nickels. I was at a high trash school, so I found my first nemesis-the pencil eraser!:veryangry: The can slaw was a nuisance...

    This was an interesting 2-day period......

    After finding out that I could eliminate almost all of the square tabs that fall in the nickel range WHILE picking out most nickels with my Royal Sabre, I decided to go to "Devil's Triangle" #2- a baseball field with a 50' by 50' area that's just filled with these and so much more. Found a few...

    Royal Sabre shocks me!

    Hey Monte....better find one of these again!:rofl: Had it for several years and was out today where you needed a trash pouch WHILE in notch! Got to fooling with the notch and dang! With careful rotation I was able to get the square tab in the nickel zone to break up and the nickels to sound...

    Hey, R&R, I was close...:cam:

    Here's how the story unfolded. I went out to compare the Ace with another of my favorite machines-I had hunted this place with the Ace the day before. Well, I hadn't searched it in a while, so I raised the sensitivity to #3:rofl: and began my search. The Ace was finding coins I had missed and...

    Tracker headphone jack....

    Does anyone know the ohms value of the resistor used on the Tracker headphone jack? I used to have one and know that if you use the headphone, you can switch batteries about halfway and almost double battery life. I got a $59 Walmart special and it doesn't have a headphone jack and I want to add...
