    1st Time Out With the Scorp

    Two hours and quite a trip. BIG difference from the ACE 250 which gives us a display and low-mid-high tones to help along and babysit. Scorp gives out only one mono- tone and nothing to look at. Felt like I was flying blind and found myself instinctively looking down at the control panel for a...

    As A New Scorp Owner

    I understand that learning the tones is critical to learning to use this machine successfully. Haven't even had mine out in the field yet but am wondering just how important a good set of headphones is to this detector? I've been using a $20 set of Sony headphones with my ACE 250 and I haven't...

    The Brown Truck

    Supposed to arrive tomorrow with my new Scorpion. Got a killer price on it $379.00 out the door with free shipping. Know I've got a rather large learning curve but think I made the right choice given its track record. Hope the AT Pro doesn't make me regret it.

    1st Dollar Coin

    Well like OldRanger said about his SAC dollar, it ain't silver but it's a dollar. Rang up with a nice bell tone displayed as a quarter about 2 inches down in jewelry mode. ACE 250 sniper coil. These John Quincy Adams were only issued in 2008 but the poor little thing sure has deteriorated...

    First Gold

    Last cupple-three outings came up with some nice keepers. 14k, 4g ladies gold bracelet. Hunting in jewelry mode,6 bars and not digging anything without a double (2way) signal as suggested by one of the members here. Banged hard on the slot just below nickel--about 3 inches down on some ground...

    If I Can't Detect a Silver Dollar Maybe I'll Have To Buy One

    I know some of you enjoy coin collecting and thought this might be apropos. The American Eagle silver dollar is going back on sale from the US Mint next month after a 1 year hiatus due to a silver shortage. I've seen recent predictions silver will hit $240-250. Might be a good investment, not...

    Question About Gold Country Detector

    Can anyone make any recommendations on a good gold (placer) detector? I'm about 2 hours away from CA gold country and have been researching several site possibilities. I'll probably be doing shallow streams and some ground work. I'm not looking for anything real high end as most of the bells...

    First Half

    Back-tracked to one of my earlier sites with my new and improved ACE 250 (it keeps gettin smarter). Came up with 33 pennies, 2 quarters, 2 dimes (clad), a 50-cent token good towards the purchase of food&beverage at "Twin Creeks", wherever that is and a Franklin half 1954--not in the best of...

    Second Silver Ring

    This one is a little bigger than my first. 3.9g at 20mm. Looks like a lady's wedding band. 925 silver. Found it off the beaten path in a county park flipping around between dimes and dollars. Really loud clear bell tone though. One of the cleanest parks Ive hunted as far as trash is...

    Reservoir Bed--Dug It All

    This is the good stuff. Tossed out the trash! http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/5535/goodstuff.jpg All metal mode. Dug everything except the solid iron indicators. If it showed iron but still fluctuated, then I dug that also. Had to try doing it at least once just for bragging rights if...

    DRY LAKEBEDS/RESERVOIR HUNTING

    Anyone have any experience in hunting these types of areas? Ive a couple of sites located which will be partially dry until the rainy season. Just wondering what to expect. I've done some riverbanks in 2 different areas and turned out to be really trashy.

    Firstest Silver

    Not the oldest coin Ive found but its the first silver. Rosie 1958. http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/5206/rosie4.jpg Couple of other unusual things that turned up were a Harveys Casino gaming token 1979 (silver dollar size-scairt me at first--thought it was real)...

    Sprinkler Heads:clap:

    Funny thing happened on the way to metal detecting today. Had just gotten to the fairgrounds and been swingin for about 5 minutes when one of the groundskeepers rolled up in his lektric cart and asked if that thing (the 250) was any good at finding buried sprinkler heads. I told him I wish it wasn
