If inland coin and relic, anything from an ace 250, white's coinmaster, and fisher f2 are good as well as the intro. teknetics and tesoros. . It's all a matter of preference and if you want display info. or not. Will tell you that the fishers can seem to be more sensitive and chatty. Any "name" manufacturer makes good entry level machines. It's more about learning your machine than the machine itself. I know this wasn't much help but you really need to research it and make your own choice.
I am pleased with the Ace 250!GoldBack said:I'm new here... Just wondering whats the best MD to start out using? I am thinking about getting the Garrett ACE 250, would greatly appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

gambler13 said:Frankn has a valid point. It's kinda a catch 22 situation. On one hand you buy inexpensive entry level machines so in case you find it's a hobby you don't enjoy, you don't have much invested. On the other hand, if you enjoy it you'll be wanting a better detector in no time. If you buy a quality machine and find it's not for you, you can sell it with a minimal loss.
