overall review of the ace250!

[Hank68]

First its my sons MD that santa brought this, and we watched the dvd on the operation and started to hunt with it in the AM mode and used the 3 tones plus the screen to discriminate, and it was fun to use it, the pp was right on, and learning the tones is a breeze so if a person been wanting to purchase. DO IT! The bell tone I like since I'm hard of hearing I give it a A plus!

It's probably the best ever deal, dollar for dollar offered on a metal detector (not made in China) made in USA. It has so many features, is programmable and has a nice variety of coils also. I also believe it is the biggest seller of a single brand ever, It loves gold, finds relics and is a very good coin shooter.

Your son now owns an ACE machine, pun intended.

Hope you two have some wonderful hunts together.

My son says, daddy did you get this for me or you, funny stuff kids say oh well I tried lol ! I used to the tesoro line so the tones and screen was fun, i am getting the atpro soon if its better than the Ace I will be a treat for me! Thanks HHH

Don't forget the sniper coil.

How does the sniper coil perform with the 250 slingshot?

My son Blake kicked my butt with his ace, and I used my silver umax that I had for a long time,so he found a chucky cheese token the same play I swung at and a dime about a foot away from each other, I'm just blown away with his detector needless to say I am sold on the Garrett detectors! The ace coil is beefy well constructed much more than my 10x12 coil I will add cam locks to the ace this coming year. HHH

How does the sniper coil perform with the 250 slingshot?

I tried to sell mine 3 times and was just too stubborn to take less than $160 for it. Then I got to reading all the posts on the sniper coil. Got it and now there's NO WAY I would sell it. I had a 100 coin day a few weeks ago and half the coins were found near playground equipment, fences, sidewalks, railings, etc. I couldn't get to them with another detector. One reason is the Ace's sensitivity has such a wide range you can adjust it to get closer than most other detectors with a small coil. And the dang thing's no slouch on the depth and the sensitivity can be pumped up really good with it and you can burn some deep targets. I really need another Ace so I can have the 6X9 whenever I need it. But right now, it's the only coil I use.

the only reason why i haven't tried one is the dang color it sticks out like a sore thumb lol

Well, seeing all the fine detectors you've owned, you probably wouldn't be as impressed-but the sniper coil would make you forget about the color. And it usually brings out the Garrett Girls. Can I get some help here, John?

There are ways to paint plastic...I have seen a Pink ACE, and a Camo ACE so far...

HH,

I JUST BOUGHT AN ACE 250 AND I WAS WONDERING HOW MANY INCHES DOES THE SNIPER COIL GET? I WAS LOOKING TO BUY ONE ON EBAY BUT NOT SURE HOW DEEP I CAN GO WITH IT. WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND AND AT WHAT DEPTH WITH THE SNIPER?

 

[Hank68]

Somewhere around 4" but target separation is great!

 

[sandtrout]

got this off another site....hope this helps!

 

[Hank68]

I thought the silver dime would be better on target depth than the ring, interesting thanks sandtrout
