Ace 250 depth

[Bowie]

Do I have to have the sensitivity up all the way on my ace 250 to get depth

You might want to run some tests yourself. I've found the 250 doesn't find small things- birdshot, tiny batteries etc.

Bowie,

I'm a bit rusty on the Ace 250 but it was my every day machine 5 or 6 years ago....if you run it too hot it has a tendency to false on you...I used to run the sensitivity between 4 and 6 and I managed to pick up 6 or so silver dimes on edge in powder dry conditions at 6" in depth.

You may want to go slow and do the overlaps to get the best possible coverage and not miss the targets....no a bad idea also to put ties or clips on your coil wire to keep it from flopping around....another reason which might cause falsing.

Hope this helps.

Regards + HH

Bill

I just found the tiny metal filament from an old light bulb last week with my Ace 250 at 4 inches.

Thanks for the tips

Guy I hunted with yesterday pulled 2 IH's @ 8"+ with his Ace. His sensitivity was one below max.
