People are finally realizing that it is a waste of time playing around with the technical aspects of metal detectors. If you want to be a successful treasure hunter get back to the beep and dig machines and get off your *** and go detecting. If you're not really into treasure hunting and just like to play with machines carry on.

You work in military intelligence right? -

I know a decent number of rather illiterate and uneducated rascals... who are a very successful treasure hunters.
They mostly wears torn pants, shoes full of holes, are unshaven, looks unwashed and unclean.
And of course there is not a cent in their pockets.
But they are otherwise very "successful"...
The question is what one means by "successful". And who has what conditions.
I have the privilege of being surrounded by grounds where artifacts from 2400 to 11000 years old have been found.
Someone doesn't have it.
Someone is successful in walking around the park and finding new coins at depths of 12mm and a little more!
And someone is successful again, and while walking his kangaroo, he stumbles upon a 3-kilo nugget!
Everything is relative... said a gray-haired uncle once in the past!
So "success" is also a relative thing!
But it's always better to know the technical details of the tool you're hunting with.
Otherwise, you will need a lot more luck to catch a deer with a shortened double barrel at a distance of 500 meters!
At best, the deer will drop dead from a heart attack caused by the noise!
It's the same analogy with findings!

Yeah , you'd probably be a more successful treasure hunter swinging an ACE 250 and spending your time going over those areas. Knowing the inner workings on a car's computer won't make anyone a better driver. Probably why you don't see IT sites inferring you can become a better driver .Comment

The situation is not great, but I'm not complaining.
And I mostly swing with the Deus.
I have nothing against ACE... but why pick a donkey over a horse?
The other day I found a 10,000 year old bronze prehistoric ax... I'd be a hypocrite to complain.
And "fortune"... what is it really?Comment

I have an Equinox and an ACE . I prefer the ACE . If you would have found the ax with the ACE you may see it didn't make any difference which machine you used.Originally posted by ivconic View PostComment

In this case, yes, I agree, because the ax was very shallow, I did not measure, but no more than 20 cm deep.Originally posted by Kemper View Post
In the video that I posted, you can see and roughly estimate the depth.
I had an ACE 150 and I also had an ACE 250, several pieces in the service until now.
What can I say, it's still Garrett. I respect all Garrett models.Comment
