Ace 250 Question

[kayden]

Is it just me or is the Ace 250 allergic to nickels .....No buffalos or V nickels yet? How ever i have found a few war nickels

 

[Frank1960]

Actually I have found 2 nickles one a clad and the other a war one but had a heck of a time getting those two don't remember what the reading was for them though

The problem with the nickels is that I think they are really trash. However, I still am digging plenty of them.
Found 2 today in the short time I was out. They were only clad, but I enjoyed seeing them come out of the hole. I think my 250 is a great little machine.

might be your location....mine seems to be a nickel machine...makes me wonder if others have just passed them up or something. Five nickels would be a SLOW day with my ACE 250 and normal or sniper coil.

I asked the same question when I first started swinging a coil.
Got lots' of helpfull info on why nickles were the fewest coins in my pouch. You should never get more than one in any transaction. Automatically that lowers you odds. They sound different than other coins to the Ace. I can recognize the sound now but at first it was just such a shrill tone that I did pass by on some of them thinking they were trash.
I added a nickle to my test plot to keep myself honed in on their tone. Still find very few of them but there isn't that many in the ground compared to other denominations.

nickles and gold ring up the same to a ace 250 * -- the range for one is about the same for the other --

My ace 250 is a nickle hog, lol. the id is right on when i hit one, it does not move. when i hit a tab down around 3 or 4 '' i sound like a nickle but i get a little beep at the tail of the tab sound, with a nickle its solid. the little tone at the end of the first beep tells me nickle or tab. And frankly i hate pulltabs, as we all do. but the more you dig them the less they are. i work coins in the coin mode, nickle sound off clear, the jewlery setting is when i hit the beach and dig everything.

Ha Ha just when I thought my Ace was allergic to nickels I nailed two from the bucket list Libery V & a buffalo nickel!

Don't give up the Ace, mine loves dimes, especially barber dimes, I found my most valuable one was a 1903s

 

[Smudge]

I have noticed, generally, the higher the kHz of your detector, the more sensitive it is to nickels.

The lower it is, the more sensitivity to dimes and quarters.

on the average i find at least two nickels per hunt.
