Hello all. I am Sam from Lubbock ,texas. Home of buddy Holly and Texas Tech. I recently bought a ACE250 and have found a few pennies but looking for that ever elusive silver. I have the sniper coil and the 6x9 . I am thinking of getting the larger coil too. I have used it only 3 times and pinpointing takes practice. I have dug up bottle caps and tabs too. The ace
had me digging up a bean dip lid thinking it was 50 cent piece. lol
but thats ok . If i dont practice i wont learn. I dont get discouraged cuz' i use it as a learning time to get aquainted with my machine. It seem to ID pretty good but all machines get fooled dont they? lol. There are a few places here to look but tnot too many. We have alot of areas with caliche here so the ground is hard. There are a few indian and soldier campsites around but on private property so i will need to get permission.They actually found remnants if possibly Coronados expedition near floydada. Now THATS OLD.Thats only open for archaeologist. Texas has a weird law that went into effect not too long ago where ,if any state official feels that you are taking relics from a "possible" historical site ,texas may confiscate your detectors and finds. So, hunters in TX beware. OK ,sorry to bore everyone. i will post pics on my finds. good luck

hello sam welcome the forum. i come down to texas quite a bit. usually the dallas area. have you found out any rules for the parks there? just keep on practicing with your tector, and you'll soon find its very addicting!!!!! again,welcome aboard and have lots of fun!!!
I was happy, but I thought , that was allot of work for a penny, not even a wheatie. OH well
