Even though this video is 10 years old I still enjoyed it. A lot of good advice here. And I still love the Ace 250 over most other machines that are out there today.
I bought my Garrett Ace 250 last week and have used it four times so far. For beginners like myself I highly recommend starting at a beach, because digging is so much easier there. This will save some time and frustration, especially when you don't find anything interesting. Also, for Garrette Ace 250 users from Europe, I highly recommended the following discrimination setup, when looking for Euro coins and jewlery: Use the custom mode, and eliminate everything left of the pull tab symbol. Let the detector search for everything on the right of that symbol (all seven bars on the right) After some frustration in jewlery mode, I was really successful with this setup. It saved me a lot of digging for trash. Also, if you're willing to spend the extra money, I highly recommend a pinpointer. I do not have one yet, and it is sometimes really difficult to find the thing you were digging for... Hope that helps:-) Greetings from Germany!
though I had some problem with sea water It also th-cam.com/users/postUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn
Good informative video. I've had my Ace 250 about 4 years but hardly used it. Now l'ive retired and moved near the Blackpool coast in England i've more time so i'm going to try the beaches. Who knows who's been on these beaches hunderds of years ago right up until now ? makes you think doesn't it.
I’ve just retired, live in Manchester and taking my ACE 250 to North Wales beaches on Friday with my 84 year old dad. Like you I’ve not had much time to use the 250 but now I have. I’ve had it for around 5-6 years purchased from Kellyco Florida, it’s a great detector.
I bought one in 2012 ...present for my ex girlfriend...now...She lives in Portslade...she's a drug dealer...and she wanted to try some metal detection...
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?
Use the "All Metal Mode". Gold will sound like a strong nickel signal 95% of the time. however, really thin gold rings will sound like the 1st pull-tab signal next the nickel signal. Most silver rings will sound like a 50-cent piece and the detector will literally vibrate because the signal is so strong. I've found 11 silver rings and 5 gold rings in wet sand (Galveston, TX)
This thing can find gold and silver also... it will likely mistake aluminum for silver though... you are best to calibrate it to what you are hoping for, or to exclude what's so common that you can't follow up with all the hits. Just set up a test basically... Don't bother asking if it will indicate according to its own scale; instead hold the metal you want up to the coil, and study the signal, and filter in what you want - filter out what you don't... if you are looking for 14kt gold alloy then calibrate it on that. If you are searching on artificial landfill with concrete you will have to filter out the iron/steel. It all depends. Just wing it, basically. I've used this exact model. I'm telling you what worked for me so far.

Boa tarde saberia me informar onde comprar o display ac250 pois o meu não funciona mais

Ask premision
You don't need permission to search the beach only to read the crown estate rules. Not far from me. Cumbria

Good video and instructions, greetings from Chile.
This was extremely helpful!
Those two bot replies above are hilarious! 😂nothing at all to do with metal detecting even
I've been trying to find property marker pins. But it keeps hitting on everything even some rocks. Is there anything I can do?
i've had the same problem dont know why but it beeps on everything even when you brush against grass
@@pamreeves1180 likewise, having the same problem
Thank you very much ! Because i just got ace250 ....thanks
Same here ;) lets go digging :)
Very good video just got mine and it was extremely useful
Is it any good thinking about ordering one just don't want to waste money if its not worth it bud
North East Adventures definitely worth it many features and I found more stuff then my Tracker 4
Just got mine!! Thank you for this video!
Have lost the pipe please help where can get a replacement
Try Google...
Thanks for the video! It really helped!
How much? How many meters deep ?
Check the comments... eBay... Amazon
Thank you !
what about foreign coins, not american??
How old are these machines?
I've got no idea...
I bought one in 2012 ...present for my ex girlfriend...now...She lives in Portslade...she's a drug dealer...and she wanted to try some metal detection...
Lol 😂
Gold digger?
A highly reccommended detector, mine is Awesome yours wi) be too
It will be awesome, a word in my other comment was not spelled right, sorry the word was (will)
@@michaele.ebright8834 not a problem 👍

Chris Horv have you turned the sensitivity down as recommended in the video?
Dear sir how can we set it for gold?
Use the "All Metal Mode". Gold will sound like a strong nickel signal 95% of the time. however, really thin gold rings will sound like the 1st pull-tab signal next the nickel signal. Most silver rings will sound like a 50-cent piece and the detector will literally vibrate because the signal is so strong. I've found 11 silver rings and 5 gold rings in wet sand (Galveston, TX)
Just unpacked my 250 and off to test it out.
Let'z Party TV how's your luck with it? I've had mine for awhile and I haven't used it yet
The coins mode will just locate hundreds of aluminum pop can pieces . It will find coins but after you dig a thousand holes for aluminum.
Did you check the sensitivity?
Adrian Badea what’s the sensitivity going to do. It displays a numerical value that is in the coin range .
Use custom eliminate all of the left icons from the pull tab only have the right 7 icons right of the pull can top that should do it bud
My like friend.

nice vid
how much is that?
It's Ace 250 you can Google.. depends.. second hand or brand new
Mein Beileid an alle HTBLA-Kaindorf Schüler, die die Übung in der Zukunft noch machen müssen.
danke :/
Jou wtf ist das für eine übung schon wieder
🙏
Just got one..
Thanks.
you welcome :)
Will not turn on. New batteries. Will not turn on. I don't see any corrosion in battery compartment. What is the trick?
Ask a qualified person in electronics repair...

you never mentioned anything about GOLD & BRONZE ICON?? Will it pick up gold...

Yes it will pick up gold. I've found 5 gold rings and 1 gold earring. Gold always sounds like a strong nickel signal.
??? In coins is gold out??? But there are gold coins ???
I don't know.... watch the video carefully...
