First Day Hunting With Garrett Ace 150

[Desertvet]

I hunted the local beach here where I live in west-central Florida with my new Garrett Ace 150 (my very first metal detector, bought it a couple days ago). I spent around 2 hours hunting, with my detector set low on sensitivity so I could find the shallower stuff, since I'm a complete noob and trying to learn the tones on my machine. I did okay, and really enjoyed just being out in the fresh air, away from the house, and just taking in nature at it's finest, all while trying to find some goodies with my new Ace 150. The area I hunted is a hot fishing spot, so I did find alot of hooks, and lead weights (threw all the hooks away). I'm heading out tomorrow morning to Anna Maria Island to see what booty lies in wait for me! Man this is addicting! Photo is of today's loot...

Thanks, Dman... It's nice being retired, and having tons of free time to get out and have fun, and I'm really blessed to be able to do just that! I'll post pics of my next hunt, which will probably be sometime this afternoon. HH to ya!

Looks like you did really good on your first time out with the 150. Good luck with finding some more good stuff and looking forward to seeing your next post.

How are you liking it so far? I was torn between a 150 and a 250 and now I see they have a 350 but being I've never had one before, I'm completely clueless what I should start with. I was pretty much set on buying a 250 since it's only like $60 difference between the two but then again I dunno...
