hello i was wanting to but a new metal detector and was woundering what you guys thought was the best brand to get it is between the fisher f2 the garrett ace 250 or the ace 350 what one do you guys think is best for a novice?
Jeff, welcome aboard. Glad to have you here. I cannot comment on the detectors you have listed as I have never used them. Have you considered/researched the Tesoro Compadre. It is a great detector for beginners. That is what I started with and still use. Brand new, out of the box it sells for about $190 USD. Just something to consider.

thank you ron yes where i live is mostly clay the city i live in used to be a dump yard around 50 years ago til houses here built and in the 1800's native americans lived here then farmers who knows what i will find. so the dd coil would be best? i was looking at some tesoro models and they seem to be what i am looking for i was just thinking garrett becuase alot of people here seem to have garretts or fishers i plan on upgradeing in the future just want a novice model
I used to have a Ace 250, I wouldn't wish one on my worst enemy. The Compadre is better, and about $80 cheaper.
the problem is that the compadre does not have a headphone jack. does it i could not see one in the photos?
You can't beat the Tesoro brand for beginner or pro. I would look into saving up for the Outlaw and you won't ever need to upgrade till you want to search the beaches. The Outlaw is more than you want to spend, but you won't be wasting time and money on detectors that aren't up to the task. Or losing interest in the hobby because you aren't finding anything good.
