[QUOTE="Paulmarr, post: 380451, member: 1683"] Hey DSA Don't want to "burst your bubble" but the Ace doesn't detect the beach well - especially wet sand/water which is where most of the goodies are on the beach. I have an ACE and didn't find much on the beach apart from the junk you found - I switched to a Minelab Sovereign (known for liking salt/water) and my finds on the beach suddenly improved. I wanted to tell you this because nobody told me - and I wasted alot of hours with it on the beach wondering what I was doing wrong - which was nothing but using the wrong detector. The ACE is great in parks, and everywhere except the beach. We have a couple of members here who swear by the ACE (silver is one) but you will notice they are not beach detecting. Compared to alot of other detectors out there - the ACE is a bit of a toy. I am not suggesting buying a CTX (unless you can afford one) but if you want your finds to improve you may look at getting a second hand Sovereign, Explorer, E-Trac, or Excaliber in the Minelab stable ... I did and never looked back! Cheers Paul [/QUOTE]
