Canadian Noob needing a kick in the right direction

[awesomefraser]

Hi guys, I have read & read on and on and I don't want to post a old debate topic again- but you know how we Canadian's are---Sorry about that.

Looking for a detector for old home/farm steads, river banks and parks. So many choices need some help.

Thanks for the help.

One option would be a Garrett Ace 250....light, reasonable price and easy learning curve.

Maybe the first question should be, "What's your ideal price range?" ....Besides "FREE"!!

 

[awesomefraser]

High range $800- not sure if I need to be that high?

 

[bigfoot1]

you can get an atpro,pinpointer,digger and pouch for under $800.00

the advantage is that if you dont take to the hobby nothing is easier to sell.
welcome and good luck !!!!

Can't go wrong with the AT Pro. I started with the Ace 250 which is a very capable entry level machine. I up graded to the Pro and my daughter " confiscated " my Ace 250. Good luck.

Went with the AT Pro- should have been delivered today but nope- hoping tomorrow. Went with the coil package so I got the 5x8 coil. Hoping for so fun. Thanks for all the help.

Hey, welcome here! Went to Google "Whitecourt" and found out there's a lot of meteorites in your area. HH!

Yes we do-- dumb question but how do you guys transport your metal detector on 3-5hr trips?

You know those funny-looking bicycle racks?!?!?
