Garret Ace 250 Pro or White's Prizm III?
Hello, I'm new here with the same question many people have... which detector?
I have re-acquired the MD bug after not having an interest in it for awhile. I currently have a White's 4900/DL Max. I originally purchased it before I had internet access (a good 10 years ago), so I didn't have the opportunity to learn from all you knowledgeable folks, so had to more or less learn on my own with not much success.
Anyhow, my landlord has dug up the drive way of the old craftsman house I live in, and I can't wait to get back into the dirt! I'm wanting to trade-in my 4900 (once I can dig it out of the closet) for something else, perhaps easier to use but more importantly not as HEAVY!
I do like the idea of the LCD displays, and depth readers. I live in Southern California, and most of my searching will be at parks, but would also like to search the beaches. My 4900 went crazy in wet sand and from my understanding, most detectors will not do land and wet sand well. You almost need to different detectors.
So.... since I do not detect often, I would like to keep my budget under $300.00. I was considering the Ace 250 Pro, after reading great reviews, but I am also considering the White's Prizm III, but can't find much info on it. Will I become bored with the 250?
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
