Gold Rings and the Ace 250

[Ralph Bryant]

After getting a little use in with the 150, I'm tempted to get a 250 now and combine it with the excellent information contained in Clive Clinick's book "Gold Methods" and give it some serious time as a primary jewelry hunter. Having seen first hand the capabilities of the 150 to detect some very tiny pieces of gold, I can't help but wonder about the possibilities of the 250 with it's full-range notch discrimination. Clive goes into alot of detail in his book about locating promising locations for gold rings especially, and although the book is geared toward the DFX, I think all of the information outlined offers some serious food for thought for anyone using a good notch discrimination detector.

......and why gold rings are obviously not a problem with the Ace combined with the 4.5 "Sniper" coil.

Yeah Ralph you need to get a 250. I can attest to the fact that it will find gold and hits on tiny pieces of metal. I dig up stuff so small it amazes even me and I don't amaze to easy.

Looks like some of my finds. Yeah it sniffs out the tiny stuff. Keep the pics coming.

...but, I find the same stuff with my 1350 at far less than max SENS. Charlie's got you, man!

Yeah the 1350 is hot on tiny stuff but a lot has to do with the sensitivity built into these new coils combined with Garrett's excellent internal electronics. After all Charlie is an aerospace engineer who originally built guidance systems for space vehicles.

Compared to that a detector is a piece of cake. Course the very first detectors introduced by Gerard Fisher way back in about 1932 were based on the old airplane directional finders, long before radar was ever heard of.

When I tested the 1350 prototype it was severely sensitive and I had them crank it down a bunch before it hit production.
