i would think the pro would be a lot more effective in the harsh mineral conditions than the ace, and welcone to t-net

Welcome to the forum Grant. The XLT is the better detector for your area as Trompy has said.

Good Luck,

Welcome! Sounds like you are getting some good advice and hopefully you will find yourself a hunting partner around there soon as well. Check for a local treasure hunting club or at a shop close by that has metal detectors...they might have some good ideas if you don't find someone close to you on here.....then drag whoever you find back here to tnet and introduce them! Good luck and happy hunting!
