Great clad count, Oz. Man, the Ace really is a clad killer! I remember when I first upgraded to the Ace 250 in 2006, I was astounded at how much better of a detector it was than my previous machine. The coins at parks and tot lots just seem to jump out at you! I never really got that deep with it, maybe 6 inches or so at most, but if there was a coin above that mark, the Ace told me. I especially did well with it in the tot lots, where most of my gold is from. To this day I still use it in the tot lots, when I'm not able to get in the woods and want a quick, clean clad/jewelry fix, though I use the M6 exclusively elsewhere. Keep up the great success you've earned. Here's an old shot of a typical tot lot bounty taken in 2006.
