Ok here is my story to date, bought an Ace 250 recently, found out my suburb has only been around since 1960 ish (no old coins) So i'm surface hunting in a custom mode disc'ing out everything but high silver and the gold range with 2 bars of sensitivity for a shallow jewery grab. 1-2 inches depth, I don't dig dimes and only an occasion penny if it fools me.
Going where others won't I want to move fast, use a screwdriver (popping) and only go after what my probe will sense on the surface. THIS IS HARD BECAUSE YOU WANT TO DRILL DOWN ON SOME OF THE SIGNALS but that's only going to bog me down and I wanted to skim these high traffic parks and Carnie grounds without really doing any digging.
So today was the first time I used my ACE this way and in just a few minutes I was getting what I came for. Sorry for the crappy kodak video, I don't even know how to work it yet, I will post a close up later.
24k gold diamond heart and Star of David pendant's practically on the surface. There is a good chance I will use this method of hunting and covering more ground to increase my happiness since all the clad is quite boring and sometimes deep. No way around those pull tabs if you hunt this way but at least you don't dig more than an inch to fail on one LOL
