this morning i just had to get out! i havnt been hunting in weeks and i didnt care about it being in the 20s (ok well maybe a little 
). i went to a park near my house that is really nothing more than a wooded lot. there are tree carvings all over the place from the 20s and 30s all the way to the present, so i knew this park was used once upon a time.i brought the ace 250 with me because this park isnt in the best part of town and i really didnt want to go there with an expensive machine, even if it was early sunday morning.(as it turns out i didnt even see another person the whole time i was there!) i found a spot that looked like it would be great for having a picnic since the weeds were low and the trees were spaced apart. i found nada,zip,zilch! for two hours i came up with cans and bottle caps. then i got a hit! a modern quarter. 
. i decided to go to the top of a hill that looked promising, and as soon as i turned the detector on i got a dime hit at 4". out came a 1926s merc! needless to say i was happy about that! i hunted another hour or so but only managed a 56 wheatie. all in all i didnt get much, but i did get the merc so it was still worthwhile.maybe i should go back with the GTI 2500 on another day, since it really did seem a lot safer than i thought it would be......thanks for looking
