ACE 350 At The Park Today

[roceda]

Made a visit to one of our city parks to practice pinpointing and using the tips HotTexas gave me about bottle caps. All finds were with the standard "DD" coil. Hunting in ZERO mode: Seven quarters, sixteen dimes, nine nickles, forty six pennies, several clothing snap/buttons, some odds and ends, and some more SILVER!!!! I used a dime for size to show how small some of the things the 350 was sniffing out today. Thanks to my Propointer I didn't have any trouble finding them in the wet bark chip play areas. The ACE pinpoint was as easy as line it up in the little square on the coil (Center) and the object was right there. No need to grope around enlarging holes or anything. Even that tiny little silver colored square thingy was , as they say, "spot on". Using HotTexas' method,I was able to identify bottle caps most of the time. I dug a few to check myself. The most amazing thing for me today was that I didn't come across any pull tabs. Man that is just unbelievable.

I guess you are referring to that little "cat" charm? I don't have a gold tester, but it isn't magnetic. It would be nice if it were gold, then maybe the little diamond-like eyes and the little pendant around the neck would be real diamonds.

Yeah I like them and have quite a pile. My favorite is a pendant with a small angel standing in front of a large angel. The pendant is Gorham Sterling silver with a religious verse on the back, the Angel's wings are 24 Kt. gold and there is a small diamond in the center. I about wet my britches when I dug that up. Found it with my 1500 in an old abandoned playground in the ritzy part of town.

He is a very helpful poster here who gave me this tip: "Now take one of those bottle caps (You can do this in the house) use one that hasn't been smashed Turn on your detector, put it in zero mode start swinging the bottle cap in the center of the coil back and forth and work it all the way out past the tip of the coil, when it gets to the end or pass the tip of the coil it will ID as Iron and the tone will ID as Iron you can hear it loud and clear. Now use a coin and do the same thing, a coin will leave a nice clear tone all the way till it stops."

"Now that you know what it sounds like, go out side and put it on the ground and practice and you won't be digging those steel bottle caps." I tried that method in the field and it seems to work quite well.
