First Hunt:I use to hunt with old Radio Shack unit, but I have not been out for several years. I have been reading the forum and got an Ace 250. I made my first trip on 1/31/09. I hit two parks and spent 4 hours. I used the 4" Sniper coil. I found the following: 12 tabs, 2 tokens, 25 pennies, 5 nickels, 15 dimes, 6 quarters, one .50 pesos, and one $10 pesos. I use to get frustrated with the old unit, but the Ace 250 has gotten my hopes up. I going back today to hit the same area and try the bigger coil and dig some more. This is in the Garland, Tx area.
I have been out 4 more times and spent 2-4 hours each time. I hit my first place and tried 4 new ones. I also got my feet wet and tried my big coil in some fields and found a few items. I decided to upgrade my automax V4 with the new Pro-Pointer. I plan to try that out today. Here are my results from the new trips: 54 pennies, 3 nickles, 14 dimes, 13 quarters, 35 tabs, 1 set of keys, 2 hot wheels, and 3 small charms/pennants.
