Slowing down with the Ace 250!

[bavarianminister]

One good way to slow down is to purchase the sniper coil. Man is that thing small! Great seperation in trashy areas. One of the best investments that one can make. Highly recommended!

I've been told that. I've been considering buying one for awhile. Unfortunately, work has been slow as crap for about a year now and we have NO FREAK'N OVERTIME!!! Dang it! Anyway, maybe soon.

Hoping it doesn't rain tomorrow!!!! :P

Thanks for showing thre link for the TVA metal detectiong permit. I live in Alabama and I intend to use it. I am filling out the app. tonight. I recently purchased an ACE 250. I have many other detectors that cost much more. I am very impressed by the 250. It works well at the beach. I sometimes think that all other higher end Garrett detectors ( I own two) are the same as the 250 just more bells and whistles. I believe you need to hunt as most have described slow to medium. When you get a signal do the "X wiggle" and move it rapidly 3 or 4 inches. If it is a weak signal and you do this it will often bring it in loud and clear.
Happy Hunting!

Wormnblack,
What about that permit? Did you hear anything?

do to ill health I go slow naturally -- I have found this tends to help the machine sort out stuff better by giving it more time to sort the stuff . --- a smaller coil means a smaller covered area thus your less likely to pick up mixed signals (more than one item being read by the machine at the same time) --AKA as better target seperation--- Ivan

Question about the permits - and ty for posting the link, I have been looking for that- the TVA is for the beaches, what about in the water - does that have to go to the Army corp of engineers? And what about when the lake is down does it still need to be from one or the other or is it considered "high water line?" thanks for the Info.

I was messing with air tests yesterday, comparing targets spaced on a board, using a few different MD's.

Response/recovery time of the ACE 250 with stock coil was significantly slower than the other machines.

..a moderate sweep speed would be wise, as opposed to brisk, from what I have seen.

As far as me getting a TVA permit, I haven't even bothered. My car broke down before Christmas and I have to wait until I get my tax money back to get another one. I'm still waiting on some forms to come in the mail, unfortunately. When I get some wheels I've some places I need to rehunt. I got a (somewhat new) secret. Using this secret led to a 10k gold ring Monday. My first official gold, if you will. The secret? DIG THOSE PULLTABS!!!

As for the water line, I know as a fomer deckhand (working on riverboats) a high waterline is like after a long hard rain. We called this "high water" and the current is a heck of a lot more swifter than normal! Up north, one lock house has a couple high water lines marked on their building. Both are WAY over my head!!!! On normal river conditions, this should apply after any rise in depth. But as far as the permit is concerned, it sounds more like where ever the waters edge is at that time. I couldn't say for sure. This would be something to ask about to be safe. If anyone could give a definate answer to you then please holler back.

And to everyone, you're more than welcome for the link. I'm glad I could be of some help! Now if they would only legalize hunting in our state parks! Cheers!
