What's Better Than A Garrett Ace 250?

The 350 is an entry level machine, not much to learn. Technology has improved in the 35+ years we've sold detectors to where they can pack some pretty sophisticated circuitry in a user-friendly package.

I just bought the ACE 350 and the Pro Pin Pointer about a Month ago, I have to say I love it. I found a coin in less then 5 minutes out of the box, in my back yard 3" down a beautiful Lincoln Cent. I also just found in my back yard a 1954 Austria Coin with a beautiful Eagle on it at 6". About a foot from that at 4" I found what looks to be a Civil War Navy Button. Its round with horizontal lines in the field with an eagle clutching an anchor. It also has a few stars going around the edge. I live in Somerset NJ, Washington and troops were all through here, About 3/4 of a mile from my house is a park with open land project. I pulled an old bullet that I'm not sure if its civil war or not but looks to be a 22, Its just the lead part. Just before I left I got a strong clear signal Silver Dollar Half 8" down. I dug about 6" when I ran into perfectly laid flat brick, Would a brick come up under Silver?
The only frustrating thing is I wish it had a operating cd with it. I think I'm doing something wrong. I'm getting false signals every time I come to the end of a sweep, From another topic here I think I might have my sensitivity up to high. I usually leave it with 2 or three bars missing that's it. I also would like a better understanding of the pin pointing. Or better said exactly where the sweet spot is to reduce digging big holes. I do recommend the Pin Pointer! That little bad boy is a must have. I'm in love with the machine, I don't think theirs any issues with it just something I'm doing that's giving the false readings. Any advice will be greatly appreciated! I also have dug a bunch of odd items. Keys, Nails,Ect. I'm amazed how strong the thing is. It picked up a small pc of very thin wire 4"down. I'll let you know what else I find in my back yard. Its a full acre the only down side is the prior owners use to have a garage back their where they fixed cars for a living. And they were drinkers, plus this areas all shale. But its all worth it. lol Thanks for reading. Good Luck

@Amassey: The falsing at the end of your swing is probabnly caused by some movement in the shaft. That is something Garret addressed on my new AT PRO. There are plastic threaded collars where the shaft pieces meet. This allows you to tighten the collars and lock the shaft in place so there is no wiggle. A piece of tape rapped around the tube before you insert it into the mating tube should help. Anything you can do to get rid of that little bit of wiggle.
