Recently got an Ace 250. (Very much good discussion on this model to be found on the web.) Used to hunt years ago with an old Micronta/Radio Shack model. Wow, what a difference. Now, just need to wait for the Ohio ground to thaw. Wanted to say hello, have been watching this forum for a few months. Hope to get out more as the ground thaws. I do have to admit, Garrett really has no need to advertise the 250, theres just good news about this detector to be found everywhere. I wanted to get back into MD'ing, and wanted to finally get something decent, so I searched the web and made what appears to be the right decission. Much impressed with what little MD'ing I have done thus far with it. I researched the web thouroughly, and was willing to spend whatever I needed too to get a decent detector, The good news on the 250 is 10x more than any other detector on the web! I'll (hopefully) post some pics of great finds this spring!

I bought one for the wife and I ofcourse had to try it out! hehehhe I like it as well as my GTI 2500, maybe even better, it's plenty deep enough and so light and easy to use. I'll order one more for a back up detector!
And I'll enjoy it when my GTI wears my arm out!
The GTI is deeper and I love the imaging feature too! BUt for the price that YELLER FELLER is #1 for sure.

I had one of those radio shack things years ago..
Fairly useless.. But the newer radio shack models
are made by bounty hunter, or whoever, and I imagine
are quite a bit better then the old micronta jobs.
I think the 250 is the best of all the sub $300
units. It's probably as good as some costing twice
as much. And as one mentioned, if you have all three
coils, it's very versatile, and will work at about
any site as long as the ground is not an issue.
Myself, I'd get a sniper coil first. It's a coin vacuum
in trashy areas. The 9x12 is good for larger fields
and for deeper stuff. Good for field relic hunting.
It's the same as the stock coil, just bigger. So it
acts about the same as the stock coil, just on steroids..
But the sniper coil is a different animal, and will
make the machine feel like a totally different unit.
Thats why I recommend it first.. The sniper is a killer,
and I consider it a "must have" if you are running an
ace machine in trashy or busy areas. The bigger coils
will see too much at one time, and make it harder to
weed out the good stuff. But the sniper is small enough
you can go through and nail the goodies, pop, pop, pop..
I don't think I've heard of a single person that didn't
like the sniper coil on an ace machine. Some try it, and
never take it off..
