Ace 250 or Cibola ?? help!!

[kawalabear]

hi all i need help !!

we have been using my mothers 2 machines, and with her hunting we have 3 people and 2 machines.

my problem which seems to be common here is which machine should i get ??

i was all ready to get the ace 250 by Garrett then heard about the cibola by Tesoro, i was told it is much better because of depth, i have read the boards about both of them and only confused my self more

i still like the ace because of the screen but, pretty doesn't mean your going to find stuff so i would love to hear all opinions.

I don't know much about the white's but I do know the Tesoro is the superior unit over the 250

I've heard good things about the White's Coinmaster. Problem is it is a new model so hard to find in some places. A local dealer can order it for you though.

Survey says!!!!!!!!!!

I had to jump in on this one. I have been using a Garrett machine for over 25 years. About 1 1/2 years ago, I heard all the ruckus about the Ace 250. I thought I needed to get one. I did. I liked my 20 year old machine better because of response time. The Ace seemed so slow. I tried hard to like it, worked hard on pinpointing, and it just wasn't for me. I bought a very gently used Cibola from Saltwater max. I had never swung a Tesoro before. Pinpointing was almost automatic. To end this rambling, the Tesoro stayed and the Ace found a new home. Many people like both. I will keep the Cibola.

RJGMC has put it very well.

The Little Yellow Fellow is a racey liteweight package though...
I think it could be proven that a Silver uMax or even a Compadre is a superior machine.
Tesoro machines just seem to work quite well.
Nearly impossible to dispute the Tesoro warranty !

Good luck,
