I tried to get on the 350 forum but it messed up my logon info.
Which mode do you ACE 350 users prefer ? Ive been using relic mode. Most people tell me jewlery mode...why is that ?
What mode is the most popular to use ?
Thanks
 
Hi Andrew...from another Andrew.....I like to use all metal because it goes deeper and doesn't mask as much. It doesnt bother me to hear the constant ferrous noise. People love to discriminate but I don't understand it. Unless the beeps bother you. HH
 
Hey Andrew and Andrew its Andrew! People say jewelry mode just because you tone out the iron. Depends if your relic hunting or coin shooting really. In the end its up to you. When I first started out I used a Coin mode until I was comfortable then I switched to jewelry then on to all metal mode. I did it that way so I could have better success at the start without getting frustrated and giving up.
 
I use a custom mode....with everything on nickel and above highlighted. gives me the opportunity to pull out some gold, and has less beeps than the relic mode. I guess it just depends upon what you want to find.
 
Yeah I hear ya...this is the 1st Andrew. Does it matter though ? I mean if I hun in any mode from the nickle notch up, why does it even matter what mode you are in ? Arent they all the same if you keep the same notches ? If not, what is the difference ?
Thanks
 
Most gold jewelry on the ACE 350 rings at one notch above the pulltab and at the pulltab. Indian Head pennies ring in at one notch below the penny on mine if they are of the older variety. I use this custom setting so I have a good opportunity to get gold. If all you want is coins, then by all means just hunt in the coin mode. You might as well just notch nickels out because most of them will jump from nickel to pulltab.
I'm an honorary Andrew...btw...lmao
 
But seriously...arent you gonna get the same signals no matter what mode you are in ? If you have the same notches who cares what mode you are in ? So you are saying in custom mode, you can tell a difference that being in another mode ?
Thx
 
You will get the signals you don't discriminate out. If you hunt in all metal mode you will hear all the iron along with foil and everything else. If you hunt in coin mode you will get signals that hit in the coin range only. It may be a bent nail or it could be a coin. If you are in all metal mode you can be overwhelmed with the amount of iron that you miss the weaker sound of a coin that may be next to the iron. Use coin mode until you are comfortable with how your machine reacts to good targets in that range. Then switch to jewelry and do the same. Then you can go to all metal mode if you want to hear the rest of the noise. Tailor your machine to whatever fits best for you.
 
I guess you guys are all missing my point. My point is....if my ace 350 is over a bottle cap 4 inches down and Im swinging it over the target...no matter what mode I have it in, it will beep on the same notch. I always hunt with the nickle up. My point is...if its beeping in the 10 cent area......I can move it to relic, jewlery, coin...it doesnt matter, it will still beep in the same notch. SO, really it doesnt matter what mode I hunt in because I always hunt with the nickle and up as targets right ? The tone is the same no matter what mode.
Thanks
 
It may hit in the same notch but if you don't have iron discriminated and there is a large nail or other iron piece next to the good signal you may not hear the good signal. You may see the good signal on the screen but the audio could be nulled by the larger iron target. I for one do not look at the screen hardly ever. I go by tones most of the time and I always have iron disc on because I don't want to hear every nail i run my coil over.

Say you are in a really trashy area with tons of foil and nails and you run in all metal mode. You will have so many signals coming across your machine that most of the signals wont even put out an audio tone because of all the other trash. If you disc out iron you will HEAR foil and up. If you disc out iron and foil you will HEAR anything above that and so on. The disc modes are there for your benefit. You can choose to use them or not depending on your detecting style its up to you.

andrew9091,
Yes If you have all the thresholds the same the target will ring exactly the same.
There is no depth, tone or signal difference.
If you haven't noticed the AT PRO, (which I consider to be one step above Our 350's) only has Three Modes in Two different Sound Modes
(Normal & Pro) Pro being a little more for Target ID.
But still basically Three modes.
Now, The Custom Mode will retain Changes that you make to it when ya turn the machine of then back on .
That's the one I use the most.
BUT IF YOU SET IT JUST LIKE ANY OTHER FACTORY PRESET MODE, THEY WILL BE THE SAME
:surprised::stretcher:
Now that I have ya totally Confused ,
I hope this answers your Question​
[/size]
 
DBG is exactly right. The 3 different modes just have preset discrimination patterns. If you put it in zero mode and then notch out everything but coins, the machine will work exactly the same as it would in coin mode. Same happens if you put it in coin mode and then add the notches between nickel and penny, as well as one notch below nickel. Same as working in jewelry mode.
Oh, and I saw the video you uploaded to youtube.... there you go costing me money again! At least the new garrett isn't available yet. I guess that will give me a little time to save up!

I thought that notching out iron just silenced the beep. The machine still read the iron signal but muted it's tone , consequently still masking a potential good signal.
Also, I thought running all metal mode gives you slightly more depth.

It's my understanding
that all Disc does is silence the sound at that notch.
It still shows up on the screen
But It just doesn't sound off.
The sensitivity is the only setting that will effect depth.
Its all there all the time,
You just choose what you want to here
or don't want to here
by using Discrimination.​

That's what I did today. The ground was so quite I thought my 250 wasn't working right; turned on the all metal mode
and the ground started chattering away!

I love my ACE 250, but my ACE 350 goes off on everything and I don't seem to find as much as when I use my ACE 250.
I am very disappointed with the ACE 350.
 
Perusing this post for your info about 35 percent of the gold rings come in at foil so make sure you include the two notches below the nickle to cover large and small foil and this will really increase your gold ring finds...
