First finds with the son's new Ace 150

My son's new Garrett Ace 150 arrived on time and intact from Kellyco. Popped it together and hit the backyard before and after dinner. I had brought down a silver quarter, silver dime, IH and a copper lincoln cent that I was going to hide so he could have some targets to practice on.

Well, he didn't need them. We found a nickle down about five inches, a memorial cent at about three inches, a tiny copper rivet that was down deep and some other junk metal. And these were all items that my XLT must have missed. I won't say my backyard is "hunted out" but I will say I have pounded it. So, I must say I am pretty impressed with the new machine. It's so light too! It takes a little longer to find a target without the pinpointing capability but not too much longer.

My son wants a metal detector "of his own" for his birthday and I was thinking about the ace. Would you purchase it agian if you had it to do over? My son is eight and uses my old fisher now.

I wish I could have afforded to get him the 250 but I am glad I didn't get him one of those really low end $40-$60 VLF ones. I would say if you think it might become your second machine and you can afford it, spring for the 250. I may end up using his on those hot days when he doesn't want to join me because it is so light.
