HELP!!!!!

Hi everyone!!! I have been doing my homework on my first detector. I am getting VERY frustrated!!! I narrowed it down to the Garrett Ace 350 and the Fischer F2. Still can't decide!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!

Only technical difference I could see is frequency . Some frequencies are said to be better at different targets .

I also heard good things about the Garrett At Pro and the Tesaro silver IMAX. What do you think

They are both good detectors and will serve you well once you learn how to use them efficiently. This takes about 50 hours. If i had the same choice to make between the 350 and F2, i'd opt for the F2 because it has a VDI. The 350 has segments only. This is just my opinion as they both will find metal and beep. LoL

If you got it down to those two...... The F2. I know the Ace is a cute color and all, but the F2 is the better machine.... Now that's only my opinion, and of course I could be wrong......

But I'm not.

Now if we're talking about these two, the ATP!

I would decide on a price range first then narrow it down. For under $300, I would go either Teknetics Euro Pro or Fisher F2 with the DD coils, then save for a quality pin pointer for faster recovery! Good luck!!

Listen to this guy! He's "pointing" you in a good direction!

If you're just starting it would be better to have a solid entry level detector, and a excellent pinpointer! Hit up Kellyco or bigboyhobbies.com, and get the F2 2 coil package, and a Garrett pro pointer! You'll be set!

Have you tried E Harmony?

 

[RobRieman]

Buy the AT Pro. The extra money spent now will save you from having to upgrade so soon and will be a much more enjoyable experience.

Sound advice, I can't wait to order my ATP!

Talk to Bart at BigBoysHobbies, you will not find a lower price or better service. Tell him your a TNet member for a big discount and it will be shipped free the day you buy it. I have never had a better experience with a vendor!

 

[RotZorn]

If you can afford an ATP and a pro pointer- then by all means buy them- but your getting closer to $800 mark!

I think you'll be better off getting an F2/ pro pointer............. than getting just an ATP.

I don't know about that, Silver Imax comes with big screen and 3D glasses....grin

 

[nurseterri2]

Ha ha... I meant UMAX. Stupid iPhone.... :-)

Call Bart at Big Boys Hobbies he will give you the pros and cons of each detector.

Anything but an Ace.
Have you checked out the Tesoro Compadre? Imo getting a detector without a screen as a first machine will train your ears better. You'll put 100% into listening instead of watching a screen.
