Well I guess it could either mean that the ground is unhunted or the more likely that it's highly mineralized. Help him out guys..Uncle Willy

"Hot Ground" is highly mineralized ground, found everywhere and most often in gold bearing areas.

It is where the camp fire was last night. I found it when i got up to do what you do at about 2:00 AM. Watch Out for that.

Ain't that the truth and they add more fuel.

Yeah- I love the "hot ground" definition of unsearched sites! On the serious side, it's why the Ace's primary setting is 3-4 bars sensitivity. In East Texas it's hard pan with iron pyrite and the coins at most schools don't sink very deep. Neither does the trash and thus the reason I'm in 3 bars most of the time. Finally I get to a loamy soil and get to see the Ace "get with it" at higher sensitivity=4 bars
I've tried MANY times at 6 bars (factory preset) and the signal was, if anything, clearer at 4 bars. Most importantly, though, is the fact that I regularly find quarters at 5-6" and the dang machine is FUN to use. I went out today, found about $2 and a cub scout pin (read pulltab) in the jewelry mode. I'm thinking about getting the 150 since I don't use the pinpoint button anyway.. My dilemna is I've fallen in love with the sniper coil but need another machine with the larger coil for the sometimes 3 football fields long schools I search. I miss the relics mode on the 150 so much I may end up with another 250. I tried jewelry today to see if I could live with it as my lowest search mode.
