Any "ACE EXPERTS" out there??

[kansasexp2]

I talked my brother into picking up a used Ace 250 the other day in hopes he will pick up the hobby. I would like to hear from anyone with a little time with this machine who would like to share their tips or advice on getting the best out of it. I have heard alot of good things about this machine and figure if he doesn't like it I will take it off his hands! Any advice is appreciated.

Just start out in coin mode. Dig only the shallow targets for the first 5 hours, using only a screwdriver to probe for the coins, then popping them out of the ground. Please read proper techniques of how to use a digger and/or knife to dig the deeper targets. leaving large holes behind gets us ALL into trouble. Please read the manual before and after you hunt. That way it will make some sense to you. Keep practicing as often as you can, and you will see your targets improve over time in both quantity and quality. If you have any questions....just ask.

Just read the manual, practice, especially the pinpointing, go hunting, and reap the rewards. The machine is simple to learn and use.

Start out and hunt in coin mode only until you have familiarized yourself with the machine. Run the sensitivity at four bars. Come here for help.

If you start out looking for coins, go someplace you KNOW that there are some to be found, don't set your sight too high on finding Gold and Silver at first, settle for those clad coins, and the newer pennies, this way you'll get used to your machine and it's targeting abilities. BE COURTEOUS, no matter where you go, ALWAYS cover up your digs, pick up any trash you uncover...and for goodnes sakes get permission from any owner of the property you're hunting on. Wear a good set of headphones, with adjustable volume, this will get you used to hearing the different tones on your machine, and pay extra attention to those faint hits, as the more you are accustomed to hearing them, the more apt you are to finding older coins. Last, but not least, go out there and have a blast, don't make it a chore, do your research, this always pays off, and I guarantee you, after the first coin, you'll be hooked.....or your brother or the both of you...Best Luck, Jack.
