Ive found that the ace can let off differant signals for differant coins. Some are in the low foil range so discrimination will most certainly lead to missed hot targets. Ive also found that things like beerlids tend to bounce the signal from iron to silver, do you dig or not. Depends if there are any other beerlids around i may just keep walking. If not, dig them all.
The ace also has advanced iron resolution. If its solid/full iron the machine is decisive in letting you know. Some deep targets and we suspect GOLD too, may show as a week iron signal. I tend to leave these targets for another time when the pickins are slim.

Ok, enough dribble, ace and i are going for a 3 day hunt this week rain hail or shine and going for GOLD, or anything else that shines.
