still figuring out
have had this detector for over a year and still have trouble with false signals, i have lowered the sensitivity and still often get false readings...tho i discriminate several items, they still seem to show up...pin pointing was a pain till i saw a video on some tips...i also have ordered the 4.6 coil in hope of easier pinpoints and better reading...i created a bracket for the head so i can remove it for storing, works like the big dollar ones...Garrett should think about installing them on their's...all in all its a good sensitive detector, tho i have yet to find anything of value, but will keep hunting....billAverage rating:4.6 based on 19 reviews

Ace250 after 1 year
I traded in the Ace 150 my wife gave me for Christmas towards an Ace 250. The second time I used it was at the Gateway Treasure Hunter Clubs spring hunt, and found a prize token ( the prize was an Ace 250 ), so now I have two 250's. Anyway, when searching at an ocean beach, lower the sensitivity, when hunting at a large club treasure hunt, lower the sensitivity, get the coil boot and keep the coil on the ground for better results. It might be me, but, pull tabs, beverage cans, foil, and sun lotion sample pouches all appear as nickles ( it's amazing, how much trash happy beach goers leave behind ).When hunting with others who have more sophisticated machines you must turn down your sensitivity, and avoid getting too close to them, as the 250 goes nuts. Other than that we've had a lot of fun with these machines.

Garrett Ace 250 Perfect from novice to expert.
I bought My Garrett Ace 250 almost a year and a half ago.I read the manual and watched the included DVD.I still review the DVD to make sure I'm not picking up bad or in correct habits.I watched Internet videos which helped give me guidance on how to use it.Recently I spent 30 minutes in my yard.I had 6 hits and everyone turned up something.Mostly old nails.Getting a signal and finding an object helps to build confidence.It also teaches you how to set up the discrimination feature to ignore trash finds such as nails and bottle caps.Most people can learn the Ace 250 in 5 to 10 hours of use or one good weekend.I'd say 20 to 30 hours for it to feel like it's second nature.For the money the Ace 250 can't be beat.If this is your first detector and you're unsure what you'll need,buy the combo.It comes with ear phones,digger,storage bag,and more.If you're experienced or already have an understanding of metal detecting,just purchase the Ace 250 by it's self.Then you can build your tool list to suit your needs.Either way,join a few good metal detecting websites and forums.The more people that's on the site the more chances you have to learn insider secrets.Also,they have contests and give away some great products including new metal detectors.So,what are you waiting for?Get the detector that fits the type of detecting and get outside.Happy digging.Average rating:4.6 based on 19 reviews

Garrett ACE 250
I purchased the Garrett ACE 250 after a year and a half of research. I could not have made a better choice. For those, like myself, who are new to Metal Detecting, an "Out of the Box" machine seems like a dream. With the Garrett ACE 250, it's a reality.The folks at Garrett have an easy to use, lightweight, accurate and well constructed machine in the ACE 250. The digital instrumentation is easy to read and understand. The information is accurate (with practice)and the depth perception right on target.
During my research period, I read numerous complaints about the pin-pointing ability of the ACE 250. Learning where the "Sweet Spot" was on the coil was easy and once learned, it was very easy to pin-point targets. In the first 10 hours, I have been able to learn to pinpoint items and even distinguish between trash and treasure. The pull tabs are decreasing and the coins are coming!
Kudos to Garrett and I highly recommend this machine to anyone who is considering getting started in this wonderful hobby of Metal Detecting.

First Timer Become Ace
The Garrett Ace 250 is one awesome little machine! Whether you prefer to hunt in 'All Metal', 'Coin', 'Jewelry', 'Relic' or your own 'Custom Program', you'll find the goodies in the ground! You can customize the sensitivity, discrimination, eliminate a find so you don't dig it up again, and use the pinpoint button to center in on the treasure the meter tells you in the ground before you dig it up. Battery life is nothing short of amazing and last well beyond 20+ hours using 4 AA's & headphones. The weight of the Ace 250 makes it easy to swing, which keeps you in the game for hours. And last but not least, the meter is very accurate. It's been my experience that whatever the meter tells you you've detected, that's usually what's in the ground and the depth gauge is generally dead on. Believe me I researched everything out there before purchasing the Garrett Ace 250 and, as far as I'm concerned, there's nothing out there that's any better for the price of the Garrett with Graphic Target ID. Do yourself a favor. Buy the Ace. You'll be glad you did.Average rating:4.6 based on 19 reviews
