The 12 inch coil will get you another 2 3 inches in depth and operates and pinpoints just like the standard coil.
Garrett at gold depth test.
The ace 250 is superior when it comes to locating coins relics and gold both in the sand and in the water.
Given those results were i to adjust the discrete mode high enough to eliminate the bottle caps i would lose the smaller rings and just barely hit on the larger targets my army.
It also has the best look and feel when it comes to ergonomics.
O ver 30 hours of hands on testing with seven top products priced under 250 we found the garrett ace 250 to be the best metal detector in every category we tested.
At test depth the bottle cap was detectable until i reached a level of 4 5 when it finally faded away.
The 250 is sensitive to small objects and gold and you will find it performs like detectors costing three times as much.
