Sounds like a good deal to me. I love my Ace250. My next purchase is going to be a pinpointer, probably the VibraProbe. I also want a sand sifter with a long handle. I should start a little wish list for myself.

It sure is fun.

Well, the Ace250 has a pinpoint feature that allows you to zero in on your target. Once you start digging, you'll find that you're either getting back up and scanning the area again or picking up the MD to scan while you're still digging. If you had a pinpointer (which is a little hand held thing) it can help you find your target within an inch or two. It's very handy. Go onto Google and do a search for VibraProbe 560. It's the one everyone seems to like. It's waterproof and all.

I want one.

Ok I got my ACE250 yesterday, it came via fedex or ups , whicih ever i was at work, so the neighbor grabbed it for me.. But I am guessin g my backyard is not the place to test it, very small compact in the city lot, and the thing was freaking out , all kinds of trash in the ground. and yes i turned the sensitivy down a little, according to the video that came with it. in one spot though if was jumping between the .50 and .25 and .10 marks, said it was 4 inches down, did the pinpoint , and found the exact spot, but after going at least 6 inches down and 4 or 5 inches in diam. i found nothing, yet it still went off over the hoel,, is that power line or sewer lines?????????????

It very well could be some sort of utility line, but it could also be something larger than a coin and deeper. You might contact the city to find out where lines were placed in your yard, if you're concerned. You could also just be aware of this and dig VERY carefully. We don't want you to end up on the evening news .
