Great day today hit a local school/sports complex. The elementary school jungle gym has been untouched by us for over a year. Nicely re-seeded I think. Gold Silver and Clad what more could anyone want.

Nice haul. I have been thinking about getting a metal detector and having a bit of a poke around. What prices are we talking about here - can you get a decent chance of finding something with a machine costing two to three hundred dollars or do you have to go into the thousands? I have no idea!

My Ace250 cast less than 200 for the base unit and another $40 for the larger search coil. Its not the detector, its the amount of practice you put into getting to know it.

Great pic nohope587, for the large copper in the pic, how deep underground can it still be detected by metal detector Ace250? thanks!

With the larger coil I can go about 12 inches. the standard coil runs about 8 either way you don't really want to go that deep unless its a pile o Gold and the ACE will not tell you that Rings show as Nickels and Gold chain comes up in the Cent area...

From the land of the Bluenose...that is a nice selection of finds. Maybe worthy of another look see. Congrats!

sounds good. I may have to ask Santa for one and then hit the beaches :-) I think that there is a club in Tassie here somewhere, maybe that is a good place to start - are you in a club or just going solo?

I joined a local club but as I spend 80% of my time away from home I was never in town for the meetings. As far as I know the club collapsed anyway.

thanks for the reply nohope, over here it's more of coins getting submerged in some river or stream water rather than getting buried in soil

I pulled several hundred Pesos out of the ground in Batangas a few years ago. mostly just skimming around the docks and beaches.

i have the ace 250 and have just got the bigger coil. went over the same field with it as I did the previous week with the standard coil an pulled out 3 hammerds that were roughly 10-12 inches down.it was well worth the investment.i find that the pinpoint is not as accurate though with it.so I just dig a bigger hole lol.
