Trying to find a hidden Cache

Whats the best setting for the Ace 250 with the Eq 10X14 coil. Went around my brother house last week and a old lady stop by and said yrs ago the owner back in the day 40-50 yrs ago buried there money in the yard. So I asked about where it might be at and she gave me a good size area to look for it and how deep. Which is about 1ft or more so now its time to find it, if its around. Later and HH
 
I would guess the settings as all metal with sens 4 to 6
Check out all the signals, specially the overloads:detecting:
 
Assuming that it is a mason jar,and if its paper money .You are going to be looking for the rusty iron lid(will probally only show up in all metal) It could be the other type of lid (zinc) with the white ceramic liner. That should lock right at zinc but could bounce to a dime.
.If its coins in a mason jar, remember the lid might make it read a little different than you exspect.

I dig them zinc type lids all the time. Ace, stock coil set at 4-5 sens.Unfortunatly I have dug many at 15" that were locked right in at zinc,,, no problem.
Good Luck with it.
 
(1) Run your sens as high as you can without chatter.
(2) Grid the area with markers into not to large area's ( maybe 20X 20 )
(3) Dig everything that beebs in those area's BEFOR moving into a new area
(4) Us a small coil if you have one to clean out as much small surface trash in those area's as you can so it won't mask
something deeper ( you really don't know how deep anything is buryed at this point or what is laying over it. )
(5) Take your time and do it right! There may be only one cache or there may be more.
(6) Don't forget; your on a treasure hunt, if you don't find the prize you can still enjoy the hunt in that you at least
took part in something that not everyone who has a detector get's to hunt for.
(7) Take picture's if you can from start to finish and post them so the rest of us can enjoy the hunt also!
GOOD LUCK and HAPPY HUNTING
 
Uncle Willy, I am confused. that's normal for me, tho. You said to set the sensitivity as high as it wil go for finding a cache in all metal, but you also suggest setting it at 6.5 for other modes of discrimination. that's for the gti-2500, not the ace-250. help me understand.
