    Flying with a metal detector

    I will be flying to Indy Monday, would like to take my 250 with me but don't trust the monkeys that handle the luggage not to steal or damage it. Anyone tried to take their detector on board as a carry on? If it is too much of a hassle I will just leave it sadly at home. Thanks for any and all...

    Roman Coins

    Nothing to do with MD'ing or :garrett: I bought these Roman Coins off of Ebay about 5 years ago, I think I paid about $15.00-$20.00 with shipping from the UK. I tried to clean then by hand a few times with non-abrasive/destructive methods and couldn't get much out of them. The web sites say not...

    Tracking my finds.

    Just wondering if anyone knew where I could get a pre-made spreadsheet I can run on my HP Pocket PC to track my coin finds, if it could sync with a similar spreadsheet on my desktop would be cool also. Thanks in advance for any and all input, Happy Hunting.

    Take your metal detector to the grocery store!!!:detecting:

    We need to start taking our detectors to the grocery store, a pin pointer would be best, less obvious and pocket size. Someone would probably call the law about some guy with a ray gun in the meat department...:rage: We have a news story running down here today about a woman who found shotgun...

    Weird things on this end too!

    Was out practicing in my backyard, found this: [attachment 88311 _IGP4225.JPG] It must have belong to my Mother, she was a 27 years NASA veteran, bet she lost if back in the late 80's when they first bought the house I now live in, she was probably out back working in her greenhouse. She passed...

    Brand New Bag!:wiggle:

    [attachment 85977 _IGP4155.JPG] The new bag, not a stiff as the old one. My Ace 250 came with the :garrett: carry bag and it worked good for a while till I wanted to pack all of my digging and sifting junk in it and lug it through the woods for a couple of miles. For one it was too small and...

    Swingin' at the Golf Course Tonight:detecting:

    Went out with a friend tonight to the local golf course, not too bad but I figured people who played golf would drop something bigger than a dime on the frog hair. My friend, he works at the golf course so we had a great gadget for hiding our digging in the frog hair, it was the tool he uses for...

    Bluetooth Question

    My Ace 250 came with headphones, no volume control on head phones... Loud to say the least. I have a set of Motorola Bluetooth headphones. I had read a thread on here about using Bluetooth with MD'ing. I was wondering if anyone knew where to purchase an inexpensive Bluetooth transmitter I can...

    Ace 250 Day 2, First Ring:rofl:

    Found my first ring today, if I had 10,000 of them I could get $2.00 for all of them at the scrap yard. Not sure what it is, keyring maybe, it is soaking right now. I am up to 2 pennies, only 249.93 to go... This is all from my backyard, I want to get good at using it before we load up for a...

    Got my 250 today

    Greetings All, Received my Ace 250 today, all I can say is WOW! Compared to my 25 year old S-1, I am amazed. I thought I had cleared out an area of my backyard, well the Ace says no, there is a lot more junk here than that old dog could see. Even had the kids running it in less than 10 minutes...

    NUB question-- Pinpoint for my S-1

    Greetings all! I have been hunting since I was a kid, my Dad got me hooked back in the 70's. I have an old Garrett S-1, still works great, was wondering if I could build my own pinpoint coil and use it with the S-1? I am very cheap and don't want to buy a dedicated unit when I could make it...
