I have been doing quite a bit of research and and having some real trouble making a decision. I haven't swung a detector in about 9 years. i am getting back into the hobby and will be buying a new machine. I'm torn between so many models. The price is no longer a factor so I ask all. Do i spend 1000 plus and get an explorer2 Garrett 2500 or consider the new Ace 250. My only real concerns are depth as I will be searching islands down south that hardly see any foot traffic so I'm not worried about junk and will be digging all hits. Also non motion mode might be more of plus for me since the islands are very over grown and in some spots swinging wont be so easy.
