NEW ACE 250 Coming

[P47RCFlyer]

Well, i purchased the ACE 250 from Kellyco today. I'm pretty excited and looking forward having a bit more productive machine. I'm stepping up from a BH Tracker IV. I also have a new Garrett Pin Pointer to help. So, with these 2 new additions i'm really planning to improve my odds. I read all the post here and did a lot of research, for my price range this seems to be the best fit for me. I'll post back on here when i have some results.

Thanks. The AT Pro will be my next step at some point down the line. I am gonna have to make the 250 pay for the At Pro, LOL. I'm pretty excited about trying it out. I'll keep you guys posted on my results.

I bought me an ACE 250 a couple weeks ago and I am really glad. Started this year with a second hand Bounty Hunter Pioneer 202,but wanted something new. I have only hunted in my yard but the ACE has found clad that the BH missed. I just got permission to hunt some new land so Im hoping for some more finds. Im over in Mineola Tx, not far from White Oak. Hope you have some good luck with your new ACE. Im lovin mine.

I'm trying to learn my ace 350 but only have an hour use in so far. I'm going to try my hardest to find something tomorrow.

 

[rakoom2002]

hehe I literally just did the same thing. Got the BH Tracker IV and BH Pinpointer and used them for two days and then went and got the Ace 250 and Pro Pointer. Taking them both to the beach in the morning. Good luck mate. Have fun.

 

[hondapartshero]

Must be a similar trend. I got the BH4 and a week later bought a 250 and propointer, 3 months later I have an AT Pro

How you like that At pro? I've had mine for bout a week.

Just throwing my 2 cents in here. I went from the 250 to AT Pro and its worth every penny. It is making MD'ing so much more enjoyable for me. Still learning the machine mind you but, if its there, it will find it. The Ace is a good starter machine that you can swing for a few years if you'd want. It will find anything down to about 4-6 inches, depending on soil conditions. Have fun and Happy Hunting

Ordered a Ace 250 Friday. Any tips or machine prep to do before I go out for the first time?

I suggest reading the manual, watching the dvd, if included. Leave the MD in all metal mode and place some coins in your yard, along with pull tabs, bottle caps amd such. You'll want to understand what each sounds like and how they read. The best advice is practice, practice, practice. Also, recommend MD'ing in your yard as much as possible for guess what...more practice.

Thank you very much, with my job I get laid off for the entire summer, so I am going to have lots of time to go. If I love it, I will upgrade soon. Do you guys think that the 250 is a good enough machine to help me find some stuff so that I can tell myself that buying a F75 would be a good idea?

 

[hondapartshero]

I love the ATP, I've done some additional hunts at places that I had my 250 before and it definitely hits harder and deeper than the 250. My biggest "complaint" is that I miss the smaller coil of the 250 for trashy areas but I'm working on getting an 8x5 coil. Whatever detector you get the key is get lots of swing time no matter where you go to get used to the signals. I usually hit a local park on Saturdays to learn the machines. Check my YouTube channel in my sig, I try to upload all my digs whether "successful" or not (every dig to me is success because I learn something new a about the machine).

 

[Jay In NewKen]

Again my 2 cents. First off, lucky you for being laid off in the summer. Secondly, you can swing the Ace for years if you choose to. Its a good machine. The learning curve on higher end MD's is that much steeper. So if you enjoy the hobby i'd say upgrade when you feel its warranted. Others here might have a different option, this is simply just mine. Happy Hunting and good luck!

Same story as many others...

Saw two episodes of Diggers and immediately bought an ACE 350. Within a month I had a propointer and AT Pro.

Still trying to get the girlfriend interested but she's not into dirt and stuff.

Bought my 250 last July.....bought my girlfriend a 250 in September. very user friendly great machines 800+ coins to date. Upgrading one machine to a 350 before summer is over. You will enjoy the Garrett could choice in my book.
