Tips for more depth with the Ace 250......

[Anonymous]

Here are some tips for the new and old Ace 250 owner to get the best power out of it.

1. Tape the coil cable straight up the lower rod.
That way you can run sensitivity much higher without falsing.

2. Hunt in the Relic or All Metal Mode. If you start notching out more you will easily loose 2 inches of depth.

3. If you get a weak signal try to swing the coil faster over the target. That improves target ID and depth.

4. If the target just jumps in the coin range, it is a deep coin most of the time. If it jumps all over the ID range it is trash.

5. If you use the 4.5 sniper coil (just 60$) run sensitivity at max. You can still get coins 6 to 7 inches deep !
This small sniper coil is important for trashy sides (around old houses, around trees in parks). The standard coil sees to many targets at once and good targets will be masked by trash. Try it...it will open you eyes what target separation is.

6. Pinpointing:

If the pinpointing area seems to large go over the target release pinpoint switch and press it again OVER the target.
That is called detuning and the target will shrink and be in the center of the coil.

7. Have fun....

Thanks for the tips. UPS delivered my 250 today. Sensitivity is excellent. I found my dog before I even opened the box. She wouldn't stop sniffing it. After I put the 250 together, I pointed it at her and it beeped her collar. At present, she's hiding under the bed. Seriously, your tips will shorten my learning curve. Feel free to add more (hint, hint).

I have a library of tips Ive gathered on the 250, Prof. If you want them in an email just say the word. But the best tip is this:
Take it out everyday for a month, and use the SENS as a tool. Stay in the midrange SENS for hunting and go to the high notches for working deep or iffy targets (I guess that's two tips...).

Dear Dave.

Planning on ordering my 250 first part of next week. Been reading all the post on this forum, and been cutting and pasting. If it wouldn't be too much of a inconvience.
Used a White's Eagle ages ago, but it was stolen from the garage with other hand tools. Presently I am recovering from a serious staph infection while attending school. Was in the hospital from Nov 7th. until Dec. 22. Am home now (back in Toledo, OH) waiting for a skin graft to my right thigh at the end of this month. You can't imagine how bad I want to get out of the house! Decided on metal detecting again which will also help in strengthing my leg. My car is still in Springfield, MO. where I was attending classes. Thank's in advance
