You have CLEANED UP, stiffwrists. Well done. That's a gob of silver coins. The ACE 350 has been good to you.
An upgrade to AT Pro... that should be in your future. You'll find it has a nasty learning curve compared to a belltone machine (which is just beep and dig), but after the first 25-50 hours of using it, all of a sudden you will blow-through your old find rates, and by 100 hours, you'll be 50%-100% more good targets per hunt session, because you'll be able to skip so much more garbage.
I note this, because the ACE350 was my own first machine, too.
Cheers, and well done!
Thanks!
I actually upgraded to an AT Max a few months in and have since added a NEL Thunder coil. I did find a good portion with the Ace350 though.

Straight to the big boy! NICE! Same rig I'm running. I love being able to sweep big fields in much less time. Helps me find those rings.
Looks like you're using it for depth, based on all that silver!

Yes. I've been able to hit some deep silver with it when I slow down and listen close in the areas that it makes sense to do so. I also hit those soccer sidelines and around the tot lots a lot quicker now too.

Dude! That's better than any year I ever detected. I think it's safe to say you got the swing of it. ...but seriously, you are good at this. I nominate you for "Rookie of the Year"
