Love my Ace 250,but pinpointing is a problem?

[ohio fred]

The soil here is up in mineralized area Mxt readings on 9 inch coil 74 to 80 gnd.if that helps .The big coil is hot you can go over a area with stock and think you cleaned it out and come back though and start pickling up coins again.Has pretty good separation and covers a big area and it will hit on small stuff to. The depth i will say a hot wheel car or anything flat that size 11" to 11 half in ground, Now coins it will hit Penny's at 9 to 10 it hits hard on quarters will get them deep dimes to. It will find them if part hidden by rocks or if trash near by and iron just half to listen and ferret it out.I notice when coin is real deep it will bell tone break bell tone kind of like it is hidden it is usually deep and if you hear it for sure and its deep but lose it after digging keep looking it is there use pinpoint or all metal if it is not in dug dirt it is still in hole don't give up if you knew for sure something was there.Use the 9x12 more than stock only little heaver.Hope this help some.Tvanwho seen your ? on xterra forum that is probably good machine.But the ace 250 will give 600 dollar detectors a run for there money 250 is good back up and fun to use even as main detector .Also no matter what machine you clear a area with someone can come through with a different machine and still get coins.You usually never get it all.Different size coils different machines.Hope this helps.Good luck and good hunting

thx fred think i will get a dd coil over here in my club they mostly minelab owners and i just want to be on the same playing field as them if you know what i mean they seem to think that the gti is a toy compared to theirs not that im bitter or anything just trying to get a little deeper tell u what i noticed with them is they seem to sweep really fast like they doing a race and got to be the first up the hill or field really bugs me that does but at the end of the day i dont think they finds are much better than mine whats that all about lol

Sometimes when you see somebody swinging fast they are tryin to get a little more depth on a object,Garrett's is good for that if you have something deep and can just barely catch a signal swing over real fast and you might gain 1/2" or so just enough to help.But if there swinging and running fast the they probably seen me metal detecting near by and howling at the moon and stomping ground.Also 9x12 only fit ace 250.Good luck and good hunting.
