ACE 250 "Package Deal"

Hello everyone,
I am counting down the days to when my layaway is payed out. I found someone to put together package of everything I would need to get started right away.

A Brand new ACE 250 with the usual extras plus a few more at my request; DVD instructions, manual, carry bag, coil cover, batteries, treasure apron, deluxe headphones, deluxe digging tool, coin probe, metal sand scoop, extra 9x12 PROformance coil w/cover.

All for $330.00 "including" shipping. He said I could take 4 months or so to pay but I don't think I can wait that long.
8)
Is this pretty good deal?

Steve, it sounds about right since you wanted a lot more too. The Ace 250 can be had for close to $200.00.

Yeah, and it seems like I keep wanting to add a little more as I go. I spoke to seller a few days ago about also including an extra bottom shaft with hardware to make coil changing faster. And I told him I would like to upgrade to headphones with adjustable volume. Now I am wondering if (or when) I will want electronic pinpointer?

I did the same thing when I bought my first system only to find for me that the DVD Instructions are all available on the Garrett website, the manual comes with it anyway, I never use the carry bag and I wouldn't get caught dead with an apron on. All that said, I think that decent headphones, a fancy offset digger, metal sand scoop and an additional 9x12 coil is probably worth the extra $115 over buying the 250 alone.

I have Ace 250 & the only upgrade I would suggest is a small shovel/digger & the Garrett pro pointer,if your hunting where's there's lots of trash,I sometime take along a 5 gallon bucket or shorts with more pockets.Other than that happy hunting.:hello2:

See what you can give up to get a ProPointer instead. You will be more effective with a 250 plus propointer than with all that other stuff. For me a metal sandscoop is for digging in the wet sand anyway where the 250 wont work. I use a plastic feed scoop in the dry sand which costs $4. If you could get the 250 plus ProPointer plus digger for the same price go for it.

I don't think you'll use that carry bag,it makes people think you have a rifle in there,2nd. that deluxe digging tool,better be made out of some kind of metal,because a plastic one will break,unless your digging in the sand. 3rd. the apron is not "1 size fits all".I do like the 9x12 coil,but you might find that a snipper coil is better. Make sure you get a pro pointer.
