After a couple of weeks trying to compare, and decide on what new model to get I decided to get both the Garret GTI 2500 and the Whites M6. I must say I am EXTREMELY happy with both detectors and really cant tell if one is better than the other. Granted, I've only had each one for a week and...

Ok, so the wife has finally caught the bug herself and has agreed to let me buy another detector and she will use my Ace 350. I've had my eye on the Garret GTI 2500 since I first started wanting to get into this hobby, BUT at the advice of my wife I bought the 350 to start with to see if it's...

Today I found a 1866 Two cent piece in my own back yard!!! :grin: :grin: :grin: I have one question though, why does it have a perfectly placed hole in it? And how rare is it ? My wife is super excited now and wants to go with me more than she already has! I think another detector may be in the...

The last two days have been amazing. Now that I've got a better understanding of what to listen for and what to look for on the display of the Ace 350, Ive pulled in close to 6$ in coins and found 2 mercs and a wheatie. The question I have for you pros is this. Can you find rings and gold in...

I am sooooooo excited! I found my first silver dime! The Ace 350 actually works! Thank you all for your advice and help! [attachimg=1]

So yesterday My wife and I made almost a WHOLE day of metal detecting (She's as hooked as I am I think). We went to an old school house and open site for camping after we got permission as well as a local fresh water beach about 35 minutes away. I found a old bullet, a shotgun shell and a few...

Can anyone tell me why I am having this problem with my Ace 350....The last couple days of hunting I get a signal in coin mode, telling me its anywhere in the nickel, dime and quarter range, and when I pin point it and dig it up its either been a pull tab, or something entirely different from a...

I got my new Ace 350 today, and I was like a little kid ripping open a present for Christmas! After putting it all together and heading out to my front and back yard ( I have a little under a acre) it was in no time I was picking up beeps like crazy. I got a little discouraged with the first...

It may be a dumb question, but keep in mind I'm new to this. I did a search on the topic and cant find anything so I thought I'd ask. In a few days my Ace 350 will arrive, I know that you can swap coils such as a double D coil to a sniper coil and such. What I am wondering is can you swap out...

This might have been covered somewhere already, but i thought I'd ask since everyone here seems so knowledgeable. Are there any good reference books, videos or other things of the sort that would be good for a new person like I am that would give the rating and rarity of the things found?

Hello everyone! I been browsing the site for a few days now and decided to join. Seems like there is a plethora of knowledge on the site and I'm glad I joined. I'm from central Illinois and I'm currently waiting for my new detector to arrive. I'm anxious as a kid on Christmas morning to get out...
