    Around the parks with the Ace250

    The question about depth on a sixpence had nothing to do with my lack of success, it was more to see if my ACE was performing as expected. A friend and I have been tinkering with a 'kit' detector and set it up with the ACE250 coil. My ACE250 gets around 11cm on a sixpence, but the other...

    Hi people, New to the forum, recently moved to Christmas Island (in Perth for the next month or so). In studying the history of the island, and exploring on trailbike, I have decided to take a detector back over to play around some of the ruins from 100 or so years ago that the jungle has...
