Hi folks, I'm a newbee, brought a Garrett Ace 250 to see what I could find.
As a green hunter I will be starting out on beaches and digging all targets until I get to grips with my new hobby. I have already worked out most folk on here are using machines a bit above where I have invested but need to start somewhere! I found my first coin within five minutes at South Brighton, minted in 2007, I have plenty if room to improve in both year and value! Look forward to sharing my finds, don't be afraid to say hi!
