Ace 250 on the beach

[279785]

I am going to Southern Florida in May. I just ordered my Sniper 4.5 coil. Any suggestions?

Personally, I'd leave the stock coil on and see how it goes. May not be enough trash in that area to warrent the smaller coil. Plus, it's a lot harder to cover such a massive area with the smallie. If you run into a snag with the larger one, slap on the little guy. Just my opinion.

how'd it work o ut? i've got an Ace 250 on the way and I hope to use it at the beach.

I have a 250 and use it in the dry sand all the time. It doesn't do as well in the wet sand. I get alot of weak signals that like to disappear in the wet sand but the coins will still ring loud and clear.

The coins will ring loud and clear in wet sand? It's just that you get some other false signals? Is that what you're saying!

Yup

Granted it is not the best machine for the beach, but it does work.

That's good to know, heading to South Carolina to give it a shot.
