First trip with my new ace 250

[White Akuma]

Finally broke down and got one of those Ace 250's everyone raves about, and I must agree that it is as good as advertised. Got mine new from the friendly folks at Cleavengers mail order service for only $199 total. At first I was a bit skeptical on whether or not i was going to like it but after a short while I realised I was really missing out on a lot with my old reliable Bounty Hunter Ex.

First spot to break it in was right down from the house in a church lot basically picked clean by myself which resulted in around $3 clad and pennies I know I must have walked over at least a hundred times before with nary a bleep.


Second spot was right across the road in an old hay field I also done to death bringing me my first good luck charm:

Kinda hard to see, but says Ben Franklin Store Good Luck Charm on front, and really smooth on back but can still see it says A Penny Saved Is A Penny Earned. Lol, words to live by.

My last stop of the day was cut short, but resulted in my oldest wheatie. A 1910, but pretty green.
Still liked it though.

Also found this part of a old copper/bronze? Cap pistol not to far away, but around 6 inches deep
Neat saddle and Cowboy design on it with the words Mini Rayo on either side. Anybody got a date range on these kinda toy pistols in copper? Thanks.

Been singing praises to the 250 all day today to people I work with, lol. Can't wait till next weekend to try all the other spots I'd given up on.

That Rayo is neat! Don't see many of them pop up! It originally had black grips, and I am pretty sure it dates to 1960 -1963 time period.

I also have a ace 250, it's a great machine, I've found a toasted Indian head and a 1937 merc it's just a all around good fun metal detector, Happy hunting

I have several heaters but when I do general hunting(which is 90% of the time) I grab the 250! Very versatile! Congrats on your wheaty!

Hehe, glad to see others agree with me about the 250. It just seems to me the controls are just...intuitive for lack of a better word. It just seems like with a little hands on time and a little common sense it just hits spot on. I was originally thinking about the 350, but they said for my needs since i don't get the opportunity to do a lot of relic hunting the 250'd actually be better. Planning on hitting an old park from the 50's tommorrow, wish me luck, lol!
