Well Ive had my 250 for 6 days and every time I go out and hunt this has happened . Im in coin mode , standard setting and I get the bell tone and its iffy , one way and then if i whip the coil faster I get a good to way signal, I think you guys and gals call it twiching maybe? So Im dancin around this hole and feel satisfied enough that may the one and two ways signals are worth it to dig. Dig the hole run my coil over the hole nothing there GOOD must be in the dirt from the hole. WEll, I forgot to mention I dont have a pinpoiter yet I know im not complete without it , but I run the coil over the dirt from the hole and nothing and this happens every hunt , about 2 or three times a hunt . SO I switch to all metal and run the coil over the dirt pile and bingo it finds a brass screw so small not even 1/4 inch Im talkin BB size The next time it happened was a small brass tack head . Three times yeterday it happened and i found the little target every time in all metal. I guess what I am trying say is to someone new LIke me its not false, your detector is doing what it supposed to, and I guess the little bitty pieces of brass or whatever your detector tells is in the ground is because of the halo effect or just the metal leaching out in the dirt and you dig up and nothing in your pile, ITS THERE. Well thanks for bending your ears. WHEW!

False Signals, NOPE

I never have used a 250. In fact I have never used a Garrett. I pop in to read the AT Pro news from time to time. After reading your post I picked up on one thing that you do that I do not. That is change the speed of your swing. You said you whip the coil faster the other way. The way you swing across a target should be the same both ways. You are manipulating the signal with the speed of your swing.
Yea I will keep a diggin for sure if only a litle each day. there are rewards , and iknow there are good days and bad. Manipulating the signal with fast swing, Makes sense , but im hungry for the two way signal. I did prove something to myself and that was , There was something there

Yeah rust pockets will drive you nuts or some teeny tiny taget you wouldn't think your detector would even see.

That's because it's a motion detector and the faster you swing the deeper it goes and the better it discriminates. Just the way it works and how one often turns a lousy signal into a good one.
