Me and my Ace 250

Well, I have had an Ace 250 (my first detector) for about a year and a half now. I have not made any really great finds as of yet. I did find a badly corroded 1916 wheat cent at an old school yard and a very nice sterling silver necklace with two silver charms and a large sterling men’s wedding bad on it. I have also managed to clean up all the metallic trash from the local school play grounds while digging up $107.63 since I got my detector.

Time, or the lack of it, is the biggest reason I have not been more successful. I have located some sites to detect that have a lot of potential, now all I need is the time to get out to them. I love swinging my Ace even if I do not find anything. I find that the whole act of detecting to be therapeutic after a long work week.

Happy hunting,
Tim S.
