the issue with the ace 250 is this -- only having 12 blocks greatly limits how much "target separation" one can get ==so you wind up with one block that comingles --nickles / gold / pulltabs all in the same block ..so to get the goodies you gotta dig all the trash as well --now to hunt coins like copper cents (pre 82) and clad dimes & quarters and silver coins --the 250 is fine .. but for gold items --unless your a dig it all type --nope
now for $279 --the 0 to 99 "numbers" display of the delta 4000 by teknetics offers much more target separation (8 times as much) --12 vs 99 ..so it can sort out trash from treasure much better

This was me for the first few hunts with my 250. Dug hundreds of bottle caps and nails that looked like they were coins on the screen. Over time I learned to go slower and listen to the tones rather than just looking at the display. You can tell a lot just from the type of tone it emits, any kind of low grunt is usually junk. A clear, repeatable high tone is usually worth digging although you will still get fooled by pull tabs once in a while. Keep practicing and persistence will pay off. Hunted with my 250 for 3 years before cashing in all the clad coins I found and upgrading to an AT Gold. Good luck and happy hunting!
