Garrett Ace 250 settings help

[charlesenealjr]

the pamphlet that came with the md was not clear on how to use the settings. i am a urban park hunter and i use the coin setting. i find a lot of current coins along with rings and other jewelry. i was wondering if i changed my setting to jewelry will i miss the coins.
i also plan on some wilderness hunting looking for any old coins hopefully my first gold coin and any other metal that i can find. so what setting should i use. anyone who know about the Ace 250 please let me know what you think

I'm pretty sure the jewelry mode will also pick up coins. You should do a test run with it in your backyard. Use all different denominations of coin and some old jewelry you have. You don't need to bury it. Just set it down on the ground in an area you have swung the coil over and made sure there is no metal in the ground. Or you can simply do an air test with it. YouTube has plenty of examples in how to do it if you are not sure.

Ive found with my 250 with my 9x12 coil on if I scan over a coin thats more then 4 inches in it will ding as iron then pull tab then coin
so anything over 4 inches I cut a plug and check it makes for more work but ive found my oldest pennies that way so far.

as for settings i always leave mine on all metals i just rather scan a bottle cap again to be sure its a bottle cap then have it not tell me anything is there

The coins mode eliminates two target segments that encompass small gold and pull tabs as well as small iron. The jewelry mode eliminates small iron, but accepts everything from foil to big silver. If you want to find gold, I'd recommend the Jewelry mode - it will still pick up clad and silver coins as well as gold, silver, and titanium jewelry.
