Ace 250 & Beach hunting

[Weekendwarrior]

I want to thank everyone for the Ace 250 advice, but was wondering if it could be used for the beach? Can you get the coil wet? I like to beach hunt as well, but the Bounty Hunter I have does not like the beach at all and constantly gives false signals.

I have used my 250 on the beach, yes you can get the coil wet, but if you are using the 9X12 coil on the dry sand don't use the coil cover as it fills with sand and is heavy to swing, just keep the coil an inch or so above the sand. HH Ken

Yes you can use the Ace 250 on the beach on dry sand and it will work great.. If you want to try it in the wet sand you really have to cut the sensitivity way down to keep from getting false signals and dig only steady repeatable signals.

Many do well at the beach with the 250. Everything is waterproof except the control box. Just don't get it wet.

It worked fine for me, but watch out for jelly fish, they read as a nickel. I almost starting digging into one, but they all read as a nickel.
I did have a lot of trouble with the real wet sand with false signals, but there is plenty of dry sand to search in.

its a nice little beach machine works great on dry sand but if you go to more shallow wet sand turn the disc lower so you reduce the false signals that might accur and don't get the control box wet or the machine will become broken

Not only that it won't work anymore.
