Which one to buy for a beginner?? M6- F2 - Garret 250

[Nutriasub]

I have a friend who is thinking of starting the hobby, which of these three would be a good suggestion.
I have found similar prices on them, M6 a little bit more.

Thanks a million for the help

Any of three are good.

I think the M6 gets the best reviews of all of them and its certainly built well.

But if detector weight is a factor, I'd lean in favor fo the Ace 250. Lots of satisfied customers with the 250 also.

Respectfully speaking, the M6 is not in the same category of the other two machines, so it cannot have any business being compared to them. As far as comparing the other two, it would be like asking should I use a brand x hammer, or a brand y, and, WHY?

Do you think the M6 its on a better level than the other two?
This is what I was thinking also, but the weight its what turns me of.

What do you think?

Nutriasub I believe M6 is a "midrange" machine, I think street price is around $700 US. I used one for a spell, it is not heavy and it is extraordinarily well balanced. The big 9.5 stock concentric goes pretty deep in mild soil, I pulled a silver dime at 8". I don't think the other two are comparable on any level.
