I remember my Ace 250 , and its Sniper coil

[Dancer]

Hunted it for about 5 years. Of course the Sniper was at it's best along metal fences, tight in around picnic pavilions , under bleachers to name a few. One of my best finds was a grade school that used to be a High School. Under the bleachers was a non stop thrill ride for many hunts. Trouble was wadded aluminum foil always sounded good. Raising the coil over these decoys helped to eliminate alot of these buggers. This place was Loaded with Deep Nickels that musta come from the snack stand. Best fine was a double, 2 Kennedy Silver Halfs right along side a corner of the fence. This field continued being a good hunt right up to they went Cashless. But before that I sold the 250 to take the sting out of moving up to the AT Pro. Needed to move to wading fresh water. Now hunting the Pro is another story.

Found my first nice heavy gold earring with my 250.
Rang up as a solid nickel.
The 250 certainly loved nickles.

Garrett machines are solid, I was never a big fan of the ace series although I had a 350. Good enough machine but when I bought the at pro the 350 caught dust and eventually got given away..I’d say more dirt gold was found with the at pro than any other machines I’ve seen posted. I know whites guys had they’re gripes about the at pro and how much better the mxt was . I like whites for sure but I can’t say I’d take any of them over a the at pro..

I have found my best find in a lifetime of metal detecting with the 5 inch sniper coil
