NEW ACE 250 HELP

Joe(Pa)

New member
Hi -I just purchased an ace 250 and I remember a time ago that you should tape the cable up the shaft and how to fix the wobble in the connection between the upper and lower shaft. Can you experts tell me how this works and if it would be possible to shorten the shaft for trunk storage and what do you guys of gals do to prevent the wobble. Any help or tweaks on the ace 250 is appreciated---Thanks ---Joe
 
I just put some electrical tape on the rods before you put them together, no more wobble. I like hunting in jewelery mode. Hope this helps.
 
Just velcro the cable up the shaft at least a foot. Then wrap it. I run mine strait up all the way. Some people have put one wrap of electrical tape on the shaft to tighten it up. But the slight wiggle doesn't bother me. If you need the 250 to become shorter for travel just remove the shafts.
 
You can shim the shaft with electrical tape but it doesn't bother me. It's a detector - not a Swiss watch. :) Running the cable up the shaft a foot or so prevents the coil from picking it up and creating falsing. You can use tape, velcro, or electrical ties.

Set your sensitivity to no more than 6 bars, start in coins mode, listen and dig good repeatable signals, pinpoint off the tip of the inner toe of the coil and practice on coins and junk at home so you can learn the difference between them while you can see them.

P.S. And have lots of fun.

I like the wobble before I wiggle. The wobble helps me wiggle. Wigging my coil from all the wobble helps me find more treasure in trashy areas. I would never get rid of my wobble! I think the wobble is a great design feature.
 
You just have to keep your sweep speed steady so the wiggle will wobble. Otherwise, you'll wrangle with a wild waggle that will work you wastefully. So, when you wrangle with a wild waggle, slow down to the point where the wiggle will wobble, and that will work wonderfully.
