Good teaching video, I am also glad to see someone else pulling regular coins and trash, like I do. Most of these videos show people showing all these old coins or great relics and I think that is the rare stuff not the norm for most of us. So, nice to see a realistic hunt for once.
Bought an Ace 250 for a spare or for anyone that wants to go hunting with me. Tried everyone of your tips...you are spot on with this machine!! Great to the point video...subbed!! Thanks..
This is by far the best ... why and how to ... for the ACE 250 and also just tips for other detectors also. Thank you for taking the time doing something worthwhile. This is a great learning vid for me... and today I found a similar nice video for my Fisher F75LE :) So on youtube it was a great days hunting.
I 've been using the ace 250 for about five years. I've learned that a signal showing penny or dime, will mostly give me a penny. When I get signals showing a dime or guarter, will mostly give me a dime. Solid signals are almost always what it shows it to be. Some exceptions to these statements are when there are multiple coins of different value. So a dime/guarter signal may produce either and the signal is still there, giving me another coin. I've actually had a spot yield 1. 5. 10. 25 coins and several of a couple of them. Yes it is most enjoyable to spend a day in the field searching. Field, " meaning, ball park, play park, school grounds, fair grounds, beaches and adjoining picknic areas. I've not gotten to many old home areas. Hope you continue to enjoy also! Detector Bob
Great video buddy, I've got the same model and I've only been doing it for a week and I've learned a lot of your video, I wake up every morning thinking that the day is the day and it's wake up in the morning again and repeating the same old mantra, but what I have learned in life is patience and every dog has its day, I'm just in the house with a new pack of AA and here's to tomorrow morning again. Happy hunting & good luck to all the Garrett crew.
Thanks for the tips!!! I have only had my detector for a short time and was digging nothing up but cans and foil. I was starting to think it was faulty. After I watched your video, I could see what I was doing wrong. Later this evening, I went back to the same park I had been earlier in the day and found my first coin. An Indian head penny!! Even though it's not in the best shape, I was thrilled!! I went on to find a small amount of clad. Thank you so much for your tips. I no longer think my Ace 250 is faulty, it was me!!!
Thanks for the tips. I've had my 250 for a couple weeks & this has really helped explain some of the different "sounds" you get when detecting. Can't wait to apply my new knowledge in the field.
Really enjoyed your video with the ACE 250 in the park. I just purchased an ACE 250 and have less than 20 minutes accumulated time in my back yard. So far a nail, foil and som iron thing.
Great advice about the signal dropping fast passing over it being a coin. That is usually what I'm trying to find. My first nice find I found was a 106 year old wheat penny!! man I was down right happy... it was in my front yard. :) Pretty nice condition as well. It's my first year detecting. Very glad I found this video
Thanks bro ! Helpful vid for sure. Got mine 2 weeks back, still learning. Didn't know the sweep of the pinpointer function could provide info like that. I'll commemorate my next foil find to you ;-)
I like your advice on how people should put in the hours before they decide if there detector is any good or if they like it. I have the Ace 350 and put in just over 40 hours on it and I am new to detecting and now I am looking all over the place to find good places to hunt. Last week I found a 14k gold nugget that weighed 9.6 grams and it is worth 290.00 bucks usd and it paid for my detector. Ill try to make a vid of it today. Great video.
If you don't wanna dig up so much foil it helps to discriminate the notch just bellow nickel on jewelry mode. I still dig up nickels but not so much foil any more.
i have had my 250 since last june, last week i found a silver dollar, but from 1977, the metallic finish had worn off and it was all copper color, best find this year so far
I also lift with pinpoint and if you get just the tip of the field (cone shaped for those who don't know) one can sometimes get an outline of a larger item
great vid i watched another vid that was helpfull if you use the pinpointer to find where you get your strongest signal set the detector to all metal then park the detector over the target and if its a coin it will keep signaling coin if its iron it will keep signaling iron and so on it dosnt always work but when it does its helpfull just another way to identify your target.
I've found if I get an erratic signal that keeps jumping around it's usually trash but if I get a nice ping signal it's usually a coin. I found a quarter today in the park, second time out with my new Ace 250
What is your sensitivity set on? I usually go two or three below max. Also make sure you have the cable wound up correctly on the shaft like the book says. I usually also put a piece of electrical tape on it as well because if its loose it'll cause false signals as well.
Even though you have a higher end machine , also its great to have you do a video for those starting out . Or for those whos main machine is the 250 . Wickedly cool ..thx
Hi!! Interested entertain on the beach, but do not rule out seeking gold nuggets. I have read somewhere that using a coil 4.5" in a Garrett 250 or an Euroace (ACE 350) and adjusting the maximum sensitivity could not detect superficial or not deep native gold. Believe that this can be?
I've been detecting since 2000, have/had everything from the Whites Classic 2 to the DFX300, Minelabs to Tesoro, run Czech Detecting Tours, magazine articles, I know my stuff. So, my father bought one of these some years back, forgot about it, guess who found it today in the pool house? I gotta say, this thing is about as good as it gets for solid old school detecting. Check out my Mike Hunt videos, Micheal And Eddie, he uses one when he's in the Czech Republic and I never gave it much thought, I will now. Great machine.
Are you using a pinpointer because that was my experience a lot of times before getting a Propointer. Also trust me most people dig more trash than treasure it just doesn't make for good videos to show all of it, ha! Good luck and happy hunting!
It an Ames transplanter/multi tool from Hoke Depot. It's great as it has a nice V shape for digging plug, has a serated side for chopping through roots, and has marks for inches to see how deep you went. Very cheap too m.homedepot.com/p/Ames-Planter-s-Pal-Multi-Purpose-Garden-Tool-2332100/202518510
I really dislike foil with a passion. Ahh. Was detecting in a park today too with my ace 250 on the jewelry setting. Well, come find out there were tons of pull tabs everywhere. This place looked like the scene of a party or two. Some of them may have been alcoholics lol. Just kidding. But anything foil or pop can like that I dig up burns my soul.
your video was pretty good better than most on youtube because i can hear your voice better however is there some way to block the sound of wind off the mic it makes the video so much more interesting.... the video when the wind is not blowng the wind noise is very irritating.....if someone figures out a way to bllock the wind sound they are gonna get rich also its good you zoom in close to show the finds because that makes the best part.....the educational instructions are good gonna help me get use to my ace 250 much essier
Just got the 250, was getting a little discouraged with the amount of trash Im digging, I will sometimes get a solid signal, dig the plug... then lose the signal... checked plug... checked hole... no signal... is it an issue with detector... or ..?
Hi just got a new ace250 when I use the pinpointer sometimes I press the button and only get a muted sound and no black blocks appear is that common when there's a lot of trash around the original signal thanks Darren HH
What country is this machine originally designed for? I'm in Canada and when I sweep any coin its erratic, I the machine won't determine what it is...its bouncing all over the place! Yours aint doing that! Does it sound like i have a faulty coil? Its new out of the box..also when I sweep any one item, its giving me all 3 ring tones on the same item at the same time. Plus when a strike a coin against the bottom of the coil, its showing a depth of 6-8 ". And to top it all off, when pinpointing, its way off to the side instead of being in the middle of the search coil where it should be! Should I through this $225 piece of junk out?
I am completely blind , and have a ace 250. The thing that I struggle with most is the depth of the target. Do you know if there is a device that can be used with the metal detector that that could audibly say the depth or the strength of the signal. That could possibly be plugged into the phone jack? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am a newbie. I own a 250 and not sure what is going on with one issue. Almost every time the search coil brushes a leaf of grass it registers with a hit (sounds). Is this normal operation with the 250 or do I need to make adjustments?
I think it's funny when the 250 says that it's 50 Cent and it ends up being 2 quarters.. But I also like the 250.. I found mine on the internet and it was practically brand new and I only paid $60 for it..
if I accidentally touch the ground or weeds my detector beeps. it's a Garret detector. I guess my arm is just not strong and it keeps dipping down if I don't concentrate. Found some quarters in a tot lot but anywhere there is weeds or grass I get a lot of beeping that doesnt pan out. too much sensitivity? it is frustrating. At the beach the detector kept signaling nickels every where but nothing was there. I might have brushed the sand some.
A couple of things you can try. Put new batteries in and good quality ones. Hold your power button down until you here the “reset” chime. And yes adjust your sensitivity. But sometimes the ground in certain areas is more “metallic” than others and the 250 doesn’t have the ability to ground balance like some other Garrett models.
Oh ok thanks..I have to get me one then..my search coil is getting banged up pretty good! Metal detecting is my new hobby and I really enjoy it! Got my ace 250 for fathers day!...Great video! Hope you make more
It's a coil cover that helps the coil from getting scratched up by rocks, shells, etc. check my channel as I have a video on what they are and how to install them. Thanks for watching!
what i like to do is never rub any coins unless if i had water on me or water near me to clean it.. if not i just toss it in the bag and wait till i go home..
tried my garrett 250 ace today first time does anyone have any problem with false or erratic signals. im guessing it happens in areas with a fair bit of trash around
check the coil wire wrapped around the pole of your detector, they are Notorious for setting off False signals.....The bottom area of the wire is usually Loose, and bumps against the Pole, and it sets it off.....just tape it down.

Have you had any good finds?
Might be an olde video but people can still learn just like me :) the up down slow signal is good to know...newbie here :)...Thank You for sharing.

bought my ace 250 yesterday. I'm a new detector and this vid answers so many of my questions/concerns. thx much buddy
Had my 250 for a week now, and this video has been sssoooo helpful...can't thank you enough....good stuff

Thanks for the video! I've been digging loads of foil and trash with my Ace 250. It's a really trashy park. Hopefully this helps me cull some of that.
Just got my 250 a couple days ago ,sure having lots of fun with it.
I have ace 250 and have gone out several times now that ground is thawing. have hadruff time learning it but now with your tips may do better thanks !
I like your advice on how people should put in the hours before they decide if there detector is any good or if they like it.

Yeah can't wait for warmer temps, good luck and happy hunting
is it waterproof?
Mixxle Fixxle the 250 I mean
No
Well let me rephrase that the box isn't but the coil is up to the box
hondapartshero ok thx
The Ace 250 is a amazing detector! I love mine
I still think best detector for the money. Have mine for few years and often take it instead of Fisher F75
thanks, this video was helpful, just got my Ace Garrett 250.
Nice diggs, thanks for making the video.
If you don't wanna dig up so much foil it helps to discriminate the notch just bellow nickel on jewelry mode. I still dig up nickels but not so much foil any more.
Thank you very much for some good points!!! Subscribed!!! Liked!!!
i have had my 250 since last june, last week i found a silver dollar, but from 1977, the metallic finish had worn off and it was all copper color, best find this year so far
Just got one. Can't wait for the thaw!
I really enjoy your videos!
Thanks. It's sad since I moved two years ago I haven't been able to detect or make videos. Glad you enjoyed and happy hunting!!!
Really great video actually. You earned the thumbs up!
i should get my 250 this tuesday!!! can't wait!
I also lift with pinpoint and if you get just the tip of the field (cone shaped for those who don't know) one can sometimes get an outline of a larger item

When you use the pinpointer function. Are you using the center of the coil to dig or back. How do you determine where to dig for your target?
i just got my 250, and am so excited for the snow to melt so I can go play
just saw your pinpointer on the garret. haha, nice if the signal dosent go in the garret 👍☀
Even though you have a higher end machine , also its great to have you do a video for those starting out . Or for those whos main machine is the 250 . Wickedly cool ..thx
Very helpful! Thank you!

I got one of those long signals with mine in a sand box and found a big chain buried.
I'd rather have the digitized bongs over the screeching of other machines any day. Love my 250. Thinking about getting the large DD coil.
I enjoy the guessing game.
Are you using a pinpointer because that was my experience a lot of times before getting a Propointer. Also trust me most people dig more trash than treasure it just doesn't make for good videos to show all of it, ha! Good luck and happy hunting!

Thanks L W. I just received my ACE 250 today, and I don't have a digging tool yet. This looks like it will work just fine.
I really dislike foil with a passion. Ahh. Was detecting in a park today too with my ace 250 on the jewelry setting. Well, come find out there were tons of pull tabs everywhere. This place looked like the scene of a party or two. Some of them may have been alcoholics lol. Just kidding. But anything foil or pop can like that I dig up burns my soul.
For local search with increased garbage should be put on the ace coil Sharp or Snake
One thing i found out is you will actually get more depth if you run it in all metal
great vid and tips cheers for that . subbed ya
Great Video.
your video was pretty good better than most on youtube because i can hear your voice better however is there some way to block the sound of wind off the mic it makes the video so much more interesting.... the video when the wind is not blowng the wind noise is very irritating.....if someone figures out a way to bllock the wind sound they are gonna get rich also its good you zoom in close to show the finds because that makes the best part.....the educational instructions are good gonna help me get use to my ace 250 much essier
Davidjoe Livingstone now they make an external mic for smart phones that has that ability. At the time I just used my iPhone. Thanks for watching!
Can the coils go bad because my 250 skips around a lot and sometimes false signals
Just got the 250, was getting a little discouraged with the amount of trash Im digging, I will sometimes get a solid signal, dig the plug... then lose the signal... checked plug... checked hole... no signal... is it an issue with detector... or ..?
By having your pin pointer on the stem shaft of your dectector does it course interference with the coil
Hi just got a new ace250 when I use the pinpointer sometimes I press the button and only get a muted sound and no black blocks appear is that common when there's a lot of trash around the original signal thanks Darren HH
Is it ok to keep the black plastic sleeve over the coil? I see you have one on yours.. I didn’t know if that affects the detecting properties ?
Yeah it’s a protector to keep the coil from getting damaged. It doesn’t affect the properties at all
Ok great ! Thanks for the quick response ..

Kc Long not that I know of. I know that most pin pointers vibrate and vibrate and beep faster as you get close to the target.
Ok,thanks. Got a pin pointerbut haven’tgot to use it yet.
I am a newbie. I own a 250 and not sure what is going on with one issue. Almost every time the search coil brushes a leaf of grass it registers with a hit (sounds). Is this normal operation with the 250 or do I need to make adjustments?

@@hondapartsheroful thank you!
I have an ace 250..what do you have on the bottom of your search coil? my factor search coil came with hollow opennings..
It's a coil cover. Protects the coil from damage from rocks and shells and such.
Oh ok thanks..I have to get me one then..my search coil is getting banged up pretty good! Metal detecting is my new hobby and I really enjoy it! Got my ace 250 for fathers day!...Great video! Hope you make more
Just spent all day on a 70 acre farm.. history back to 1850. I found about 37 rusty nails!! Dammit!!
Why does it alarm on aluminum while in jewelry mode?
thankyou!
What material do you have blocking the gaps in your coil?
It's a coil cover that helps the coil from getting scratched up by rocks, shells, etc. check my channel as I have a video on what they are and how to install them. Thanks for watching!

hondapartsheroful p
What kind of depth do u get on the ace25o
ok thanks
Yeah but ever since I started using headphones with volume controls for each ear it's not that bad.
On the 250 it should be right around the pull tab range.
what i like to do is never rub any coins unless if i had water on me or water near me to clean it.. if not i just toss it in the bag and wait till i go home..
hi where should gold read
Yeah since summer is here I haven't been in a while because there is a lot of poison ivy and its my kryptonite :) , thanks for watching!
jsem z česka tak by to chtělo česky!!!
tried my garrett 250 ace today first time does anyone have any problem with false or erratic signals. im guessing it happens in areas with a fair bit of trash around
Tai Mir Some soils will do that but yeah trashy areas with foil and such will do that.
hondapartshero thanks dude appreciate the tip. but its a bloody good machine must say
check the coil wire wrapped around the pole of your detector, they are Notorious for setting off False signals.....The bottom area of the wire is usually Loose, and bumps against the Pole, and it sets it off.....just tape it down.
I bet that you will find more expensive items if you use the metal detector at a beach.
And I honestly don't think STls or the offesee you know exactly what we all do
saying nickel , its a pull tab
Thank you for not saying detectorist...
Max check this out it will help you
Don't you just hate foil.
informative but needs help with auto-focus.
get the SNIPER COIL. IVE PULLED OUT A GOLD RING AND REGULAR RINGS IN TRASHY AREAS
Don't bother at parks with garrets
