2nd Silver with the Ace 250!

[R-n-R Magnolia SpringsAla]

The more hours I put on this the more I enjoy it. So far if it sounds like crap it is. Dug alot of targets just to "see" Found the 51 rosie in my cousins yard w/ wheats and misc old stuff. Now he wants to get one! I went to a 100 year old park 1st signal was the old pocket knife, a good sign but no luck. I did hit a coin signal but it's in or under a root bigger than my wrist so it stayed, kinda had a "clipped" sound off the edge of it so it may be iron, won't know unless I dig up half the tree...... The lead soilder was interesting don't know what's on his head, yall ever dig one of these?? Kinda looks like a mold sprue? Had the unit set on 4 bars on the sens and it worked like a champ. I also checked some areas I hunted with the 6x9 using the 4 inch, glad to say I did not find any good targets that were missed. Dug several targets @ 4 sens that were brass or copper at depths of about 7 inches or better. Got out and had some fun!!! Now if it will just warm up a bit!!!

TKS Joel!
For the most part I'm using the 6x9 if I get into a spot that real busynoisy/trashy I'll switch to the 4 inch. Also the machine still works great at sens 4....... I'd like to get the 9x12 for beach hunting but I still have my BHID with the 9.5(and my Stingray 2 w/ 8 and 10.5 coils) and if I want to get into the water I can. I'll do some water hunting this summer and prob sell one of them as I'm only in freshwater now I also have to try both and see which one is more "hotrock" resistant seems to be a few up here.

I dug a lot of hot rocks, including lumps of coal, with my Ace 250 but have never dug one with my GTI 2500. Wonder why? Maybe I imaged them out.

I've been kinda bummed out going from saltwater pirate and Deep woods CW hunter to - Tot-lot Terminator and Park Lurker not that anything's wrong with this type of hunting just takes some getting used to. On the brightside- No Rattlers,wild hogs,Sharks,Stingrays, now I've got bears! in the woods. Oh my! Oh yeah and lots o rocks! Come on warmer weather!

Interesting collection. Few years back I recovered three Barber coins beneath a big tree root. Took a bit of digging but well worth it. Tree roots hide a lot of goodies.

Yeah now that I read the post about "fringe" range ID's popping from good coin to iron, I'll have to spend some time digging around the root!
