Hunting on Jewlery Mode Ace 250

[andrew9091]

I was foolin around tonight with my ace 250 and put the machine on jewlery mode eleminating the 1st 3 bars.......you lose the nickles but I still got hits with a gold ring and all the other coins...this was elimnating almost all the pull tab beebs. Im gonna try this out tmorrow. I was just testing this in my bedroom. Anybody else try hunting this way ? Just trying to eliminate pull tabs...Im getting old ! This was working well when I was testing it. Curiou how it works in the field tmrow,

You will get the other coins, but will miss out on most gold. Don't forget, you have a custom mode to set up as you want. Why not just leave in the nickel ? You will still discrimate out alot of the pull tabs.

Good Luck and HH

It works good in the real world. I use it often. Found a gold chain necklace in that mode that would only register in one other mode -the zero mode.

?????????? Wouldn't work in the Relics mode? Did you also have the first 3 bars eliminated as in the post?

It's difficult to pick up a lot of chains in any mode because your detector doesn't see the chain as a whole - just one link at a time and the one closest to the coil.. Most are detected because they have a sizeable clasp or fastener. If not they can go totally undetected. One necklace I found had a tiny chain and the only reason it registered was the mounting for the stone at the end was large enough to present a target. Many chains are left in the ground for the aforementioned reasons.
