Wouldnt worry too much bud :)

A couple of hours can some times be spent without much luck.

You will hit a good spot and find plenty I am sure.

Saying that I am not familiar with the 150 so you need some input from a user.

Washed out low areas are spots to look for ;)

Look for cuts in the sand, areas where the sand has been taken away. Look for black sand, which is usually where goodies settle.

I forget which notches jewellery modes has, but I seem to remember with my old Ace that I would run it with just the first two notches to the left notched out. Also, always dig the "ring pull" notch signals, could be rings :)
