Hi all :)

[tessmontana]

Hi everyone,

On Tuesday I decided enough of this wishing and wanting , I got myself an ace400i. I went for my first swing yesterday at the beach (Redcliffe, QLD) and its safe to say I am addicted. I dug $1.10, a 1951 three pence and quite a bit of junk, so many bottle caps.

If anyone has any advice or tips about the ace or detecting in general, feel free to share, I'm learning from what I read and when I'm out and about

hi tessmontana and welcome to PA, seems like you are doing ok so far, i am yet to find a pre decimal coin so well done

 

[tessmontana]

Thanks guys. Thought I'd do a little update, I have found my first $10, I'm on $10.35 and I found my second three pence, was just as excited this time as the first one

 

[jamie]

That's no good. Speaking of half pennies, I dug 96c and my daughter eyeballed a 1940 half penny, she was running around yahooing.

A bloke with a minelab came over and chatted before he left, he dug a very clean threepence, i was stoked to see it.

Everyone thinks that but it's not correct. You can post pics directly to the forum but they must be under 1 meg. Images hosted on other sites such as photobucket have the ten post restriction. It's to keep spammers at bay.

Thanks mate, i think I've worked it out. My first swing outside of my yard, down at the beach.

Awesome. You total number of finds will grow as you gain experience.

 

[tessmontana]

Its addictive that's for sure. I think I'm close to $13 now, got a couple of toy cars, a tank. Was digging a great signal yesterday, turned out to be a ring pull but there was also a blue marble in the hole too.

Glad I found this forum, have been learning alot.

Glad you found the forum and could share you finds and enthusiasm with us all, it is a great hobby and a great forum to be a part of

Off to a flying start, well done.
