It is an excellent machine. I had mine for nearly two years before I upgraded to the AtPro. I loved it and found lots of stuff with it. You cannot go wrong buying one

Rock steady machines and very underrated ......... Only problem is that you have turned the sensitivity right down and notch out about a third of your range in  wet beach sand./  Yet the guys are using them with great success.
My favourite pastime is walking on the beach and poking dead things with a stick.

They are not great on wet sand at the beach. They are fine on the dry sand

I have finally got My 250 and took it for a swing and found My first Silver (as per finds post)
I see what You mean about the 250 not liking the wet beach sand.
continuously gives off false beeps.  I dropped the sensitivity down to half as seen on a youtube vid
and found 2 R1 coins and a silver loop that must be a link from a chain.
I am a happy chappy.
