I have been an ace 250 owner for 6 years now. Avid user of it for a little over a year constantly. I love my machine! Only down fall I've found is that when you go over large iron, it shows up in large silver area with the "belltone" sound. Then I dig it and haul off the iron. I hunt in all metal mode with the #1 spot "notched out" to eliminate those lovely nails. But I dig all other signals. Like I said I love the 250, but wished it didn't bell tone on those large iron pieces. I would reccomend this MD for beginners
