Ace 250 not reading coins

[SilverDreams]

I went out yesterday evening with my Ace 250 and I was getting crazy readings all throughout my yard. When I registered a good coin signal, I couldn't find anything. I just assumed I was getting a lot of interference so I went back out this morning. I wasn't getting many false readings, but when I would throw down a quarter to test out, my detector will not pick it up, no matter what I try. I have put all new batteries in, checked my coil, all my connections are good. Can anyone help?

Is it on the right mode?

 

[SilverDreams]

Yes, I have it in coin mode and I don't have any coins discriminated out.

Ground balance sounds way off or else your machine needs to take a trip back to Garrett for a fix.

Best to send it back....

Put your sensitivity at 4 and see if that helps and do some bench testing

You're best bet is to call Garrett.

I run my ace250 with only 2 bars from the bottom of the scale

Press "PWR" button down and hold it til you hear two beeps. This resets the machine! Then adjust sensitivity and discriminate. I usually go with sensitivity at 3 bars.

Do the hard reset first, as mentioned above. When you call, they will ask you to do that first anyway. TTC
