Hey everybody, I've been reading the forums pretty heavily for about the last month and you have all left me no choice but to buy a MD now. I just wanted to say thanks to all who post with their finds and experiences and I'm looking forward to posting some of my own stuff once I get going (I'm gonna go pick up my Ace 250 tomorrow morning).

Anyways, now to my actual question. I am pretty sure it was on here that someone very clearly explained how to pinpoint with the ace 250 and they showed how they drew lines on their coil to help make pinpointing easier. Pictures were also included in the post that showed their handywork. I may just be crazy but any help finding it would be appreciated. I tried doing a bunch of forum and google searches to no avail. Thanks a lot for the help.

One more thing to keep in mind while pinpointing... try to maintain a constant coil height above the ground. If you raise it a little while scanning back and forth you can get a signal because of the height change. If you're not careful you can start thinking the target is moving around, not that I've ever done that! ;D

Also, with the ACE, you may hit the pinpoint button and not find the target at all. Release the button and move the coil well away from where you think the target is. Push the button and swing back over the spot and you'll hear it. It's a weird little thing the ACE seems to do for just about everyone that uses it, from time to time.
