I purchased the 250 last Thursday and have taken it out a few times. Today while out I detected a dime however when I dug it up, it was a penny. This happend twice. I assumed maybe the penny wasn't flat in the ground and gave off a weird signal. Well after I got home I thought about it and pulled out the detector to check it. Sure enough, when I pass a penny under or over the coil, it dinges out a solid dime. I turned the sensitivity down to 1 and still it dinged as a dime.
I then checked other coins and they all ding to their type, quarters where quarters, nickels were nickles .... etc. I did however notice by passing multiple pennies, a few dinged as dimes but the rest dinged between a penny and a dime on the readout. Not one actually dinged as a penny. Is this perhaps a known problem with the 250 or is mine defective?
