Colorado Prospector - Gem and mineral prospecting and mining forums _ Treasure Hunting and Metal Detecting _ Garrett ACE250 finds

Posted by: traddoerr May 26 2011, 08:05 PM

I had bought a Garrett ACE 250 a couple months ago (never detected before) and have been out a few times with it, I have found so far; $1.00 in change, 2 sets of keys, old pocket knife, bunch fishing weights, .25 auto bullets, and the high light of the hunt, 1-10K gold equestrian horse ring W/gem for the eye.

I'll try to post pic's this week end. Wife also told me I'm going to have to get my own detector now as she is confiscating the ace250.

Sounds like you are off to a great start.Keep at it and get to know your detector.That 250 is a nice
machine.I was impressed with the discrimination,in and around iron. Good hunting...Stan

Thanks Stan, I have never done any detecting before,so the 250 is my first detector and may look at a better one for next year, BUT!, I realy enjoy this and plan on working a lot more areas.

Sorry it took so long to get these pic's posted, done a few more hunts so I now have $6+ in clad and a couple junk rings/jewlery and a few more sets of keys. the items on the left of the photo are of items from a local lake and the items on the right are from local parks, and the pic of the 10K gold equestrian ring.
