    new detector or new coil????

    I have an Ace 250 now. I was looking at either a new detector or new coil. I want to get deeper. So the question is.. Is it worth the extra money for a new detector or will a new coil offer the same results using the Ace 250 instead of buying a new detector? I was thinking about the GTI 1500 or...

    Hook tag and others ????

    Any info on the items attached would be great. The round tag says 13 on one side and it looks like it has some faint letters on the back but its really hard to see. The hook is very heavy.

    Ace 250 gold question

    I have found lots of silver this year but have not found any gold. I'm wondering if its because I don't dig the pop tab symbol. Whats the best symbol on the Ace for gold? I know there is a gold area but it seems to be a wide area and covers penny to pop tab.

    Tumbler question for cleaning coins

    I am looking at a tumbler to clean some of the coins I have found. I am wondering if a vibration tumbler is better than a rotary tumbler and why? Seems that the price for a rotation tumbler is much more than a vibration tumbler. I have used the vibration tumbler in the past to clean my brass...

    Any idea on the age or history of this??
