My birthday is in just a few days and my wonderful wife has ordered me an ace 350. I can't wait. Which Beach in the UK should I chose for my first ever hunt? I'm located pretty much centrally so distance won't be a big factor.

I just bought my son a Euro ACE (same thing?) It seems to work pretty well - certainly for depth though the recovery time seems a little slow. It should be OK for dry sand - but I've heard it won't work that well on wet sand.
Have fun with it though - we certainly are!

Any great spots that I should start looking at making a trip to? I've also heard that I need a license to detect in the UK. Any ideas on that one?

So I got my metal detector went in the back yard and found an old rusty bolt a nail and a very old US dime. It was from all the way back in 1994. The metal detector will be paid off in no time. :-)

Congratz!
I got mine a few years back, and got over 6 ounces of silver and a thin gold ring on my first hunt.
That is what you can expect from the virgin beaches of Dubai.
This result is from a small part of the beach I always visit.
No one knows about metal detecting here, so you will be a rich guy detecting here.
Though you better do it in the night, where people here will think you are doing something wrong or holding a weapon. This is how ignorant people here are about metal detecting.

Not sure if you ever posted about it, but what did you end up finding on your first venture out? I think it's always exciting to see what people find on their first go. All I got was a quarter out of mine, but it was still fun.

Get yourself a pair of waders....wait until a very low spring tide and wade out with your detector. thats where the gold rings are generally found as they get washed out. Pick a very popular sandy beach where loads of people go. The combination of cold water (fingers shrink) and suntan lotion (fingers become slippery) means the rings drop off ...
