Hey all,
I own an ACE 250. My wife bought it for me for me this year as a late Christmas present- from Metaldetector.com for $212.
(UPS delivered it on December 29th.)
I hunted yesterday and today for a combined total of approximately 5 hours. I dug 71 coins, a gold/silver ring and ALOT of misc junk. (I didn't even believe it when that ring popped out of the dirt clod!)
I am extremely impressed with the ACE 250. It seems like an outstanding machine. Pinpoint is HOT.....seems like it has decent depth....a coin-destroying monster!
My question is why is this detector so cheap? What more does one get when they buy a more expensive metal detector? More depth? Better discrimination? WHAT?
Let's say a random coin is at 5" ....could the ACE 250 potentially miss this target, while a higher-end model would find it? What's the deal?
How does the ACE 250 stack up to the big dogs?
I am extremely happy with mine, I'm just curious!
Zach
