    hello Aaron and welcome to A.D forum , what kind of detector do you swing and where do you like to hunt at most.

    Re: Newbie from Oklahoma

    Dan, I just got a Garrett Ace 250 and have not gotten out yet. I know it's odd but Oklahoma got hammered with snow on Chritmas eve followed by very low temps.

    I hope that in the next couple of weeks things will be back to normal and I'll be hitting the ground..

    Re: Newbie from Oklahoma

    Welcome aboard Aaron!! Glad you found us. Feel free to ask questions, we'll try and help you get started. You picked a good first machine, not too complicated and not just a toy. My advice to you is to practice with your machine and a bunch of targets (coins, keys, pull tabs, bottle caps, gold ring, etc...). Try and see how deep your machine can go in an air test. Change some settings and get a feel for how your machine responds to each target. By the time the snow melts you will be ready to hit some ground thumbsup01

    Jason and et al,

    Sorry I forget to say what part of Oklahoma I live. I live and work in the Oklahoma City area. I plan to start hunting some of the local areas here as well as south of the city to a couple of old homesites.
