Believe it Folks....The ACE 250 Really "IS" That Good!

Did a couple of snow hunts on snow hills where both kids and adults play. They slide down the hills on sleighs, toboggans, skis, snowboards, pieces of cardboard and even garbage bags. And they lose the darnedest things. The ACE was my weapon of trash reduction for this challenge, and it worked flawlessly. I put on the usual hot pac over the batteries, then covered it with the camo jacket. Only the strong audio, repeatable in all 4 directions regardless of probable conductivity were dug, and I was rewarded with a nice Apple IPOD, a can of COKE, headset for a phone, a pair of MAFIA glasses, a couple of working lighters, a coupe of Tylenol and a whole pile of loot. Most of the targets were in the top 2-3 inches of snow with the exception of the IPOD, which was down about 8 inches.

And you know what? The IPOD works! :thumbsup:

You got to get the accumulated goodies before the spring thaw, otherwise, people will eye ball the goodies and remove them.

Were you in the coin mode? If so, what did you place your sensitivity on? I just got my 250 for Christmas and still working to learn how to use it. I keep picking up bouncing signals and too much trash.
