Hi there. I am new to this "sport". I just purchased an Ace 250, and am eagerly awaiting the UPS driver dropping it off. I have been interested in this for years and finally jumped in. Looking forward to finding some treasure here in Washington State.

I live in Puyallup. It's an old town with I hope a lot of potential. I can't say I have ever seen anyone in my area MD'ing. Can't wait till it gets here!

Check Washington state laws before you dig. I seem to remember someone on another forum mentioning something about the law being strict about relics.

 

[Hockeydad]

I have been looking into it quite a bit. There is a club close by, I think I need to join it and tap into their vast resource of knowledge.....
Thanks for the tip!

Welcome aboard from Canada

I just purchased mine and I'm hooked already and about $2.57 richer after going out twice for about an hour while learning how to use it.

You'll love the 250. You DVD will tell you to hunt in the all metal mode and dig it all. I suggest to set your sensitivity on 4 bars and run in the coin mode. Then dig ALL beeps. Then graduate up to the jewelry mode then to the relic mode after you have 50 hours under you belt.

 

[Uncle Willy]

Good advice. Starting in the all metal mode leads to instant frustration.

[Uncle Willy]

It will get better and your rewards larger. Just hang in there.
