What should a person do?

[bignick29]

Hello, I'm new here and I've got a question. I've read a lot of the posts( not even half way through yet), and am wondering about something. I live in an area that has a lot of old homes torn down for one reason or another, an a lot of history has happened. I am interested in getting into this hobby and I have found an old detector in the closet. It looks like a real cheap one like from Wal- Mart or something. Are these accurate or will I just be setting myself up for disappointment? Should I go ahead and buy a new one (thought about the ace250) before I try or what? I do know it works, I put batteries in today but have not had time to try it out good. Any advice is helpful, Thanks in advance... Oh yea mainly looking for coins and old tools like axes and stuff...

Here is the guage and handle there are no writing exceot for the VLF statement. I have looked under the batteries ( two 9- volt) and there is nothing there. There is also no writing on the other end either, just a picture of a pick and shovel.. Thanks to all of those that are trying to help me I appreciate it greatly..

On ebay i saw one like that it was under... VLF Metal detector ... item # 300320396645 .. and had the picture of the pick & shovel on the coil....... I would guess it was made by bounty hunter for they also have detectors that look like that and have a picture of a pick & shovel on the coil.............

That looks like the earlier generation of Radio Shack machines. A toy. Will do nice at finding hubcaps, and coins within an inch or so of the surface though! :P
