Hey Everyone!
I bought an Ace 250 about 3 years ago as my first detector.
I really enjoy the machine and it was worth every buck in my opinion. Mding is an awesome hobby and I`m really thankful that the Ace 250 helped me get into it.
I had many great hours, found tons of clad, some silver coins and a gold ring once.
I have some spare cash now and am thinking about an upgrade.
Here is what I am looking for:
A detector within my budget 500 Dollars, MAXIMUM 600 Dollars that would still be rather easy to handle but the main thing I am looking for is Target ID improvement.
My experience with the Ace 250 was that it is really reliable and sensitive up to about 8-10 inches and that's great but the target ID was way off many times.
I know this is very complicated and even expensive machines will still have you dig pull tabs if you want rings and stuff but maybe somebody can inform me here.
So basically what I need is a 500-600 Dollar Machine that is better at identifying targets, that would be my main priority, I know In this business there is no gain without digging trash but maybe there is a way to improve that aspect?
I currently live in Taiwan, would be using it for parks and occasionally in the mountains if there is a chance a machine in this price range can find small nuggets in mountain creeks maybe if I`m lucky?
Thank`s all for any advice, and have a splendid day!
