What say you veteran detectors did I do okay? Didnt want to spend a ton on my first detector. Hoping this will be a fun hobby for my wife and I. And we can get some exersice while enjoying meteal detecting. Report this Post to the Staff

Davest Valued Member United States 325 Posts	Posted 09/13/2012 4:09 pm you'll be fine. where are you going to hunt? The Ace 350 and 250 are ok on sand but not wet sand if you're going to beach hunt. If you're going to hunt parks and public areas, please don't dig holes. Buy a pinpointer to go along with the detector and use a long screwdriver to make a hole large enough to use it in. Large plugs can be dug in forests/field areas. Good luck Report this Post to the Staff

Technology has come a long way baby! Sounds like a deal, get out there and have fun! When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72 Report this Post to the Staff
