Got the Ace 350 today and went into the back yard to look for something I knew was there.
Back in 2000 my son got a MD for Christmas and we set it up. I then threw a 2000 Sacajawea into the yard.
We searched for hours trying to find it with no luck. His MD was a $40 cheapo, but I surely thought we could find
the coin, after all, it checked out ok on the bench.

Then today, within 2 minutes, I found it with the 350.
It is pretty corroded, but still identifiable.

My son's eyes about popped out of his head when I found it that quick.
All he could say was "Wow!"

    It's a good detector!

    The only thing I'd like to share is that if you notch out pennies on the discrimination it will still find copper-only cents. (Shown as a higher denomination coin) I *love* that, actually. No more digging corroded 1997 cents!
