allmetal mode ,dig all targets-might have to turn sensitivity down,depending on mineralazation.i have found pickers-and also good on lead witch will lead to gold.
 

:icon_thumright: thanks strickman I was thinkin all metal but wasnt sure I'm still learnin this 250 ,how do nuggets show up on the ID or tone ?
 

bear in mind the ace is not a real nuggett detector,that being said------it can get you by,different gold can i.d. different.most should be in the nickle/pulltab(gold) range.but don't rely on i.d. thus dig it all.i don't have a nuggett detector but old yeller gets me by.
 

:icon_thumright: thanks for the advice I'll give her a try out .
 

Don't run the sensitivity all the way up. Most gold is in minerilized ground and you will have to turn the sensitivity down until you stop getting a lot of falsing. Start with the sensitivity at 3 or 4 and turn it up until you start getting false signals, then back off until the falsing stops. Even at a low sensitivity setting you will be able to detect gold, just not as deep or as small as a dedicated gold detector. Have fun !!!

Best Regards, John K
