    ...As I walked down the streets of Laredo... I love that tune. Welcome from CT, where our state song is Yankee Doodle ....which would be better if they changed it to Redsox Doodle

    Seen this post after I asked where you from. Anyway, I think the ace 250 would be a better detector for hunting in the rocks. It is set up with a smaller coil. With the 100 bucks you save on the acce 250, you could put towards a Pro Pinter.

    I won’t hunt dry land without the pin pointer.

    Re: Hello from South Texas!

    Sorry for the late response everyone but I really appreciate everyone making me feel at home. I hope to make new friends and will start posting some of my finds. Right now I am in the process of getting a club started and hope to get it up and running before the end of the year. Right now, I have two detectors, I have a Garret Ace 250 and a Garrett GTA 1000 which still works since I bought it back in 1992. Well again thanks for the warm welcome and will make it a habit of posting and putting up pics of my finds. Take care everyone.

    Mike
