Not sure wich paticular post your looking for, but I did a search and there are a lot of them on here...
You can do a search yourself. or follow this link to a search I just did.http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php?action=search2
Hope this helps...
I need to check out some of them myself. I was wondering about that unit. What type of sounds does it generate. Are they simple beeps, or something more complex, when a target is hit... I know that some of the newer machines sound about like somekind of computer talking, I have had a hard time destinguising the different tones on those type of machines... Hope ya get the hang of yours.
Good Luck & Happy Hunting~

thanks Leon.
Ive already read about every post on here about the 250.?Most of the ones on here are just recommending it.....not really any info about using it. On the Garrett forum there were quite a few people that had posted info about it.....evidently they dont know of this site.? From the few I got to read there was some good info about using it, but I only got to see a few. It was late and had to go to work the next morning. Was planning on reading them all the next day but now its gone
From the little bit I have used mine, it has 3 different tones.....that I can tell.? A belltone...sort of like a "boing" ,? just a beep tone, and a low beep for iron and such. Im having trouble figuring out the difference between the boing and beep for the target it picks up.
I had posted about this under cmls' post about the short in his 250. Yesterday I got a dime signal at 4" and ended up with a hole the size of a basketball and still no dime, but it was still saying there was one. Maybe it meant 4'.....I dont know.
? Its definately gonna take some getting use to.

Hi Zeke, Hey I know what you mean about getting a dime signal and then digging a pit to try to find it!
Sometimes my MXT does the same thing. Gives a good signal, I start to dig and never do find anything!
It does'nt happen often, but when it does
. Maybe someone here can enlighten us.

I have found that several signals like that are sometime nails off to the side of the hole. They sound just like silver to me sometimes. They say you can tell if it's a nail if it beeps twice as you sweep. I have found this to be true sometimes, and sometimes not. Another way to tell if it's a nail sometimes, is if when you try to pin point the target seems to move around as you do. You just can't get a really good pin-point. I guess there are just so many different variables, from target masking and so on, that different things act different ways in different circumstances...
