Hey There,
Just wanted to say hello. Until today I have never tried metal detecting. I decided to start out small to see if I enjoy it first.
I bought a Garret 250 and strolled up on Naples beach and in 1 hour found;
1- Beer can
2- Quarters
2- Dimes
2- Pennies
1- Paperclip
1- Piece of wire
1- Bottle cap
I had some fun and sun, so a pretty good day. I'll give it a little time and then who knows..... Maybe a Minelab for me
Welcome to American Detectorist and to the hobby! Don't give it up too soon. Keep at it for a while. You will soon find it to be a great way to get some exercise and to pile up on a few treasures. thumbsup01

Welcome from Iowa BeachBall. I'm glad you decided to join our corner of the internet.
Just like you, I started with the 250. It is a great machine and I found lots of nice old keepers.
After the hobby/addiction grabbed hold... I ventured into the Minelab series and have been very happy too.
Looking forward to your finds with the Ace. :->
You found six coins in your first hour of detecting? You are going to do very well. Good luck.
