    First Ever Metal Detecting Trip Using Garrett Ace 250

    Well I went out for my first ever metal detecting trip today and had some fun with friends who have private permission to detect on local farmland. I bought a Garrett Ace 250 to use while I'm deciding if I like the hobby. i filmed about 1/2 the finds i came across and being my first trip, I had it in all metal mode to begin with which meant I was digging up a lot of typical farmyard iron works, my friends had better luck finding some old buttons and a few old coins. It was a good day and the video shows what I found at the end. I hope you like the video and feel free to comment on it at YouTube and Subscribe for more videos as they come:

    Welcome! Every time you use the machine and dig up the signals you'll learn more about what the machine is telling you. Even an outing where I just find trash is still a good outing because I'm enjoying it and I almost always learn something new. Good luck in your hunts!

    Don't get discouraged. It helps to develop a love of digging trash in this hobby. That way you're never disappointed. It takes at least a 100 hours of use to really understand what your detector is telling you.
