Well after fighting with the ACE at a few older, heavily trash infested sites (and already pounded by other MD'ers) I decided I needed to try something a little easier for a newbie.
So I went by my local wood chip tot lot and experienced a world of difference. After a little less than an hour I pulled a bunch of clad including my first two nickels. The nickels produced a extremely short consistant beep by comparison to all the foil trash that Id's as nickel. Note: I only dug about half the foil items in the pic as the rest were simply picked up off the surface. This is all the trash I dug which is an incredibly small amount compared to the first sites I had tried.
Pinpointing was also far easier when there were not 10 pieces of trash laying around the actual target.
Btw, the large coin is a Sac $1. Woo hoo!
