Issues with Garrett Ace 250

[JJT]

First time I used my ACE 250,...every other swing was a Half dollar signal.....it took me a little while to figure out NOT to stand under power lines....or under ground pipes..etc.

It just takes time...Now if the coil is Jacked..that's another story...but if you are trying to discrimanate a "good " signal from a junk one...then you need to understand..you will dig more garbage then goodies....especially if you just started detecting

Nothing to be discouraged over

I never understood what "Learning my Machine"...but after year 2 of the ACE...i really started learnign what its funny signals meant...and how to tell if somethign was larger in the ground than a coin...even if it says its a coin

just takes some Time

That's what I needed to hear! Thank you very much!

JJT, if you're on a tight budget like I am then you might want to get the Cen-Tech pinpointer from Harbor Freight...its 16 bux and has worked well for me...if they dont have it in-store or you don't live .ear one then you can also get them on their website. Good luck. -Spiss

I just got an ace250 and I'm picking up tons of tones. I try to discriminate and when I dig, I too don't find anything. I don't have a pin pointer which sucks, but working on getting one. I am kinda getting discouraged. I hope someone can help with some useful tips or advice. JJT

JJT u need to turn your sensitivity down the 250 is very sensitive
