I've had my Ace 250 for about 2 months. About a month ago I turned it on and it wouldn't detect anything. So I unplugged the coil, plugged it back in and it started working again. Since then no problems until today.
I turned it on, and it won't detect anything. I unplugged and plugged in the coil and it worked for about a minute but then went dead again. The power is on, the batteries are fine, I'm in all metal mode, and when I swing it over coins or any other metal I don't get a reading on the screen or any kind of sound. Sometimes if I plug the coil connector in about half way but tilted to the side so only some of the pins connect it works. I called Garrett and they told me to send it in but that means 10 days without a detector. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it a bad coil? Is there a known problem with the 250s? Any help is appreciated. Thanks
