Hi all just had to let u know about my first trip out with my ace 250,, I use to detect alot when I was younger with my Grandfather but got busy with work and life,, finaly I could aford a good machine and after reading alot of your forums went with the 250,, picked 2 machines up on friday and my wife and I went to work in the yard we were staying ,, not an old place only been there about 8 years with no real history about it,thought we might pick up some new coins ,but on my second signal that read like a pulltab I dug up a very small and fine gold ring with a nice red stone in it, my first gold even after all the years I did when I was kid,, very exciting,,, 
cheers Roger
