Detector(s) used
E-Trac/X1 Probe, Whites 6000 XL pro, Ace 250,
Been looking at getting another Machine, one that is easy for the wife to use and also use it as a backup, I have been looking at ether the Whites Classic 5 or the Ace 250, I know both are good for the price but which would be easiest for the wife to use and easiest to make out the audio tones on good targets. thanks for help, John
 
I have the ACE 250 as a backup and for my son (16 yrs) to use when we go out together. I'm very impressed with it and my son said it was a snap to learn.
 
Neither of these detectors has a tone id for helping id the target. Since it is for the wife I would go with a Tesoro Silver Umax or Cibola. Neither has a screen or tone id either but they are deeper and the warranty is for life.
 
The acer 250 is lighter in weight and works great....for the price can't go wrong. Dig all the hits, it has plenty of sensitivity as well as good depth, just keep a slow and steady swing directly on the ground, balance out.......and have a blast...HH
Personally, I use a mine lab.... the garret acer 250 is a great back up or starter unit :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I am a woman and I love my new ACE 250. I had a Tesoro Compadre, and the ACE is better. I think it is really easy to use and lightweight. I don't know anything about the other one.
 
My wife has a ACE 250 & was able to learn it pretty fast. It's light enough for her to carry for a while. My 2 cents!

I would like to thank everyone for their input on this it really helps on my choices,
Thanks again, John
 
Well I did it, day before yesterday I ordered a Ace 250 from KellyCo, with the (Sport Package) I will have to test it out so I will be able to show the wife how to use it :thumbsup:
 
congrats on your purchase king john 8).. hope your wife finds the end of the rainbow :thumbsup:
 
Ace 250 I have a White's Classic. I goes pretty deep, and it's light. But you don't know if the target is a dime at 4 inches or Volkswagen at 5 feet. I loaned it to a cousin to take into interior of Mexico. The notch descriminate on the 250 is a good feature.
