Scrooge McDuck
Newbie
I received a Garrett ACE 250 for Christmas and today was was first chance to use it. I know nothing about detecting but now that I am retired, I thought I give it a chance.
I went to a local children's park where I played as a child and went to an area still with sand in the play area.
I set the ACE to coins, and the sensitivity to 4 bars. I threw a nickel into the sand to see what it would sound like and to see if I could figure out how to pinpoint. After a few runs, I decided to try the real thing.
Within a few moments, I found a 1985-D Lincoln Cent which was about 2" under the sand. It was only 1 Cent but I was off! My hero Scrooge McDuck would have been pleased!
I learned that in the future I should have some sort of digging tool and maybe a small sifter for the sand.
Anyway, I hope I will get into the hobby and just have a lot of fun.
