Dave, the best advice anyone can ever give you is this. Don't dispose of anything you find right now. Keep it for a year. Stockpile gold, silver and coins and at the end of the year, count it up. If you have the luxury of going ot just two days a week (a weekend or evenings) then it's almost certain that you will have accumulated around $1000.00, which is enough for a very nice, brand new detector. Or two of them.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Spend a little more for the Ace 350. Nothing wrong with the Ace 250 but the extra features are worth the small amount extra.
