| This topic just won't go away. I suspect that is because some people have had good experience with the 250. Others have not. I have both a Ace 150 and 250. they perform about the same in fresh and salt water. I also have a Fisher F75 which just goes nuts around salt water. I live in Florida and have given the 250 a pretty thorough test on the gulf coast beaches. If you want to know how well the 250 performs, bury a penny in saturated sand and try to find it. If it is buried more than 2 inches you won't. Which is not to say you can't find stuff with it. I dropped my keys in a foot of water where the waves were crashing. They went out of sight with the first wave. Luckily the ACE found them. I've also found coins but no jewelry in salt water. I scrub the bottom with the coil, something you can't do on wet sand, and that seems to work out the best. I've never used a salt water machine so I have nothing to compare it to but comparing the ACE's performance in salt water to it's performance on dry land I would say this. A penny at 4 inches on land=a penny at 2 inches in salty saturated sand , gambol
