Minelab go find 60, Garrett Ace 250, or Fisher F22

[mr.theman]

I'm wanting to get my 12yo son s machine for Christmas but I can't decide which one to pull the trigger on.

Garrett Ace 250: the same machine I started with back in the day. Found lots of stuff with it before I sold it to upgrade to an AT Pro. I know how to run it so that's a plus.

Minelab Go-Find 60: really liking the compact design on this one. Also the controls look easy to use. Seeing mixed reviews on durability and performance.

Fisher F-22: know nothing about this machine other than decent reviews and it fits in my budget.

Figured I would look to the experts here for some guidance. Which one would you chose and why? Also are there any others I should be looking at?

Well the F22 would be my choice. Im no expert, but have a lot of hours on a bounty hunter and F75. The Go Pro im told is more ornamental than a working detector. The ACE 250 is comparable to the bounty hunter. Just my thoughts. Any of these would be a good choice.

Look at the Teknetics Eurotek Pro for comparison. Very easy to operate and he will never outgrow it. It's also a First Texas product like the F22.
I looked at the F22 and do recommend the F22 as a great detector for your son.
Best of luck!
