Viking, This Ace 250 beats my tesoro by 10mm in depth, the Tesoro is what I found the gold coin with.... The Ace will find many more Kiss

A great detector, works well...

X, I also want to test out your machine.... how did the air testing do compared with my air tests?

I will take a look at that app... thanks Wink

I know sweet nothing about Garrett machines , just poking some fun! You seem to do pretty okay with your set up! Xavier you should know by now that I don't use toys mate. Wink

Heard about a spot in the Strand that opened up recently and produced some great finds, amongst them 1850s silvers and a couple of old gold rings and stuff. There is still so much out there for us blokes to find.......just got to make some time again!!!
Would be nice if some of those guys would join us.......I know there are guys lurking in the wings here. Freddy Kr?ger

Viking, I wish I could find some jewelry, that is something I have not found much off Cry

Only thing I found in the sand at Margate, was coins Grin

Haaaa yes I see what you mean that is when you must get loads of batteries and detect night and day or that sand will be back in and you will kick yourself.
