Out for a quick hunt this morning and found $13.10 to spend, and a couple of half pennies 1943 & 1950.
I also found a ring with stones. Thought I'd put some photos up.
This is the lot, less the junk and scrap metal.

Here are a few shots of the ring. I know the CZ stands for Cubic Zirconia.

Not sure about the other details though ?
 
Bloody brilliant mate :) is that with your ace250? Like the $1000 chip - priceless find mate well done
 
Am very happy, would have missed it except that scanning in pinpoint mode it sounded like a nice solid target, that's the only reason I chose to dig it.

You got to try the gold field - although the ground may be a bit harsh on the 250, but if you pulling all that stuff on the beach you may get lucky :)
 
With the sensitivity down to about 30% it does alright in the wet sand, you just have to trust it a bit
(targets fewer and further between).
I drop it onto the sand and hold the pinpoint button in, when I lift it slightly off of the sand it hunts silently in pinpoint, mind you I'm normaly wearing steelcap boots, that way I can quickly check the detector against them to be assured of the distance its working at !

Nice ring find with the Ace, like you mention, without checking it in pinpoint mode, it could just come up as another dubious signal. Did the Ace ping it on both swings in disc mode, or did you hear on just one sweep of the detector?
 
Neither, I had gold discriminated out, so there was no ACE250 tech analizing, it just sounded like something I should dig(like the old days) while speed scaning. Mind you, I can recall looking at the screen and seeing the signal bouncing around the mid range.

Now I must say, the glory of these finds has to be shared between all three detectors, but I must say that the ACE250 is the majority holder by far.
This is over a several year period.
This is just purely for inspiration.
3 back ones are tungsten/or stainless steel type rings, the front one dents like gold, but all the markings are worn away.

and here are the stones, with a couple of the gold ones repeated because they have stones.(some are just paste cheapies)

Went for a drive in the bush, and came up with this 1946 Florin(cleaned up).

fairly worn and common as leaves, but still enough to make you smile and touch your pocket to make sure it's still there.
And this thin little Silver Ring.

The finds sure add up after a while, it's nice to pull everything every now and again just to remind you of what lies in your kitty. I've probably collected about 3 ounces of silver for the year so far, most other stuff has been junk jewellery aside from one gold ring and one titanium ring. :)
