does the ace 250 detect deep targets?

[AcRellik]

I have had my Ace 250 for a little while now. I get lots of targets at 2+ 4+ and some at 6+ but I still have never had anything at 8"+ . I am still getting to know my machine, but think I am doing something wrong . what could I be doing wrong ? I do use headphones but I don't ever hear low tones , I go slow with over lapping swings . close to the ground with coil skimming grass blades . so if anyone has any advice for me , Please please help me out
Thanks and happy Hunting

No, that's about right for coin sized objects with the Ace 250. Sure, somebody will chime in that they HAVE found deeper targets, but not regularly.

I used the 250 for my first year and did not find anything deep. But I did find gold rings and at least $300 in clad with it to have fun. Ace 250 is a detector to get you hooked and then you have to upgrade to get deep stuff.

if you remember when we hunted togher i let you use my grandsons 250 it had the 10x14 coil on it it will go depper that is about the only way that i know when you have a entry level machine they do have limatations that does not mean you can not find good targets but they all can only do so much i do know some people that do very well with the 250 but i think he has the bigger coil also his name is mike aka silver star from this forum he could tell you a lot more than me dennis i told you that mike aka silver star was on this forum i have to tell he is on american detectorist forum sorry

Do you mean Silver Star, the Elgin Raider and ladies washroom attendent? I got that mess straightened out, for my part, don't know if anyone else will ever get a pass there again...

Hey Aaron, the depth of the Ace is good enough for the right sites and it is a great machine for sorting through trashy areas when moving real slowly from what I've seen of it in the hands of a lot of folks around here.

yes tim that is the scoundrel silverstar. wonder what happened to silverspoon? but dennis is right, the larger coil can get deeper.

I have an Ace 150 and it only goes about 4 inches in normal dirt but it is great in tot lots.
