Garret ace 250 question

[mu50stang]

I am new at metal detecting and I have an ace 250. I was an old park and had it set to silver coins and it showed alot of stuff at 8+. I tried digging about 8 inches and didnt find anything. Should i try and go deeper or just ignore stuff that deep.

You may want to invest in a pin pointer. Garret makes a good one. Your depth gauge may not be be a accurate as we all hope they are. When pinpointing with the coil you can be off a couple of inches and miss the target completely.

Depth indicators are notoriously inaccurate, regardless of the brand used. Perhaps your sensitivity is set too high; 3-4 bars is recommended as best for the Ace 250. Good luck & keep asking questions.

Yeper Depth indicator is just a good starting point for our M D's
I really want a Garret pro pointer. I have a V4 that I picked up when I got my F5, but I been following these threads for a bit now, and even my V4 pin pointer has became something I don't wana have by me, I want the pro pointer!!!

Mu50stang,
Alot of times the silver is at least 4-5 inches deep. If you have a good signal I would keep digging. Try raising your coil a good foot or so above the ground and swing. If you still get a good signal its likely a crushed can.
