ace 250 depth

[favored papa]

I am only getting qt's to 5 inches, max. the only thing I have dug deeper is pop cans. now and then my meter will show a qt reading at 6 to 8 inches but it will not lock on. or pinpoint. I am running a stock 250 sensitivity down 2 noches I don't let batteries get down very far. dose my 250 have a problem do i just need abigger coil?

Sounds exactly like mine. I can't help out with the bigger coil as I haven't got one yet but I'm going to. I usually run mine at 4 bars though instead of 2, 5 or 6 bars if I am out where ther are not a lot of targets. I dug a 1876 shield nickel out in the middle of a field that was about 8 inches deep with the stock coil. Good luck,

With the stock coil, I dug lots of pennies and dimes at up to 5-6", once a quarter at 8". Recently bought the 10-14" Excelerator, now I can dig dimes at 8". I may never use the stock coil again. Plus, you can cover a lot more ground in a day with the big coil. The first couple times with the big coil, it seemed really heavy. Now I am used to it, it doesn't seem heavy at all.

I use a small sniper coil on my ACE 250 and primarily use it in trash park areas.. It does well but most targets are not very deep.. But mine finds coins at about your depths 4-5 inches consistantly.. But that is about were most items are unless you are relic hunting...Then you need to go to all metal and set your sensitivity higher and then your depth should increase a couple more inches. Or like me watch out for a good deal and buy a GTI 2500 and get depths deeper than I want to dig..
