I called Garrett and purchased the cable and connectors. Small nail pouch from Lowe's. About $25.00 invested.

Typically good stuff from you, Kenny!
Question: couldnt you turn the Ace housing around in the pouch, so you wouldnt have to view it upside down?

You'll get it all. Or you won't
Someone else will get it. Or they won't
Someday, you'll die and leave it behind, anyway.
Act accordingly.

Very observant Davhut. I had it that way at first but the pinpoint button was too far from my thumb. So I turned it around and my thumb is right there. Also it puts the heavy (battery) side closer to the clip. It's just more natural.

Old habits die hard. I can pinpoint with it in about 5 seconds using the button. Detune,left,right,pull back,no tone and dig.

That's pretty cool...didn't know you could remove the box....
but I have a stupid question (I know, only stupid question is the one you don't ask)...anyways...
May I ask why you did that? What is the purpose of this? Curious, as it may be something I might wish to do.
Thank you and Happy Hunting,
Annmarie

Ann, There are a lot of detectors that have a hip mount feature from the factory. This gets the weight off of your arm while hunting. The control head comes off by removing the two screws under the rod. You won't hurt a thing by taking it off if you want to see just how lite it feels. Tom, The white thing is a piggy back electronic pinpointer from Sunray. Click here www.sunraydetector.comor copy and paste the link to your browser. |

Thank you for your response. I understand now....I just might give that a try and see if I like it that way....thanks for posting and for the info on the material required. My arm does get tired after several days of detecting (in a row)... Again, Thank You....Happy Hunting, Annmarie |

I haven't a clue about some of this stuff, so I have a question on your set-up. Is the box on the handle basically a "splitter" and the toggle-switch flips between the coil or pinpointer?
Nice-looking set-up, and may help me as well once I'm able to get the 250 myself.
Thanks
Smitty

Thanks for the link! Do many Th'ers use these on the Ace 250? I mean due to the cost factor as compared to costing nearly as much as the machine itself?
Thanks

Indiana,
I don't think the SunRay is that popular on the Ace models due to what you just said. On the other hand since you save a ton of money in the purchase of the Ace that leaves you more money for accessories like the probe. I have built and sold probes over the years but this one is the best. My opinion. .Worth every penny
