I'm still new to it, as today was my 4th outing with it, however, I think a lot of it is learning how to use it and find its quirks out. I had my most successful outing today, found more coins than I ever have in the hour I was out, and each time I go out, I learn a little more about it. I don't expect it to be as good as some more expensive detectors, but am hoping one day that I find enough "stuff" with my 250, that I can justify going up to a higher end detector.

You said, "I don't expect it to be as good as....". That's true but...in a lot of cases it can be just as good as an expensive detector. I've hunted with a guy with an Etrac. I got the ring because my coil was over the ring before his was. It was 2" deep and rang out loud on my ACE 250.

I've been running into the problem with my ACE 250 where I'll scan over an area, getting a few different varying tones, I'll pinpoint it, and dig, find nothing, then scan over the excavated dirt and empty hole, and the ACE doesn't even go off when before digging, it was. Even after checking the hole and dirt pulled with a pinpointer just to make sure something wasn't turned over. A lot of junk metal shows up as nickels too, but I guess that's just part of it. Its just irritating to hear varying tones, dig a hole, and find nothing, scan again, and get no tones at all after double checking.

Yep - I have this problem too

Usually when it goes off..then nothing it is because of small pieces of metal that crumble ..Try stomping on that piece of ground to break it up and it will stop...

Agreed! Great for coin hunting, easily distinguishes coin tones. Sandtrout, thanks for the custom settings, I'm in the same area of So. Cal. Will try them out tomorrow. Going to put about a 100 more hours on this machine then upgrade to the CTX 3030, Been hearing a lot of good things about this machine-
