Which detector to go with????

[thomas_miles25]

I am debating between which detector to buy and wanted some experienced help. My three are the Garrett ace 250, whites prizm II or III or the fisher f2 any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

I suggest you go with either the Ace 250 or Prizm. Fisher's customer service isn't up to par after First Texas took over. I have not had a chance to play with the F2 yet, but there are some people that use it. Look on the Garrett forum for more info.

I have used whites before, I used to own a quantum xt but have never used a garrett or fisher and i have heard good things about both. I just want the best for the money ya know?

i dont think you will be impressed, if you you used a quantum, kind of stepping down, but the lighter weights of the new machines will be nice.

I have no experience with any of those but I have seen many good posts about the Ace 250.

I had an ACE 250 for a while and it is a great little detector for the money. Lots of features if that is your thing. Good luck.

i'd go for the Ace.. with one caveat; don't expect it to go really deep in highly mineralized ground. I found the PP to be easy and, if you sweep close to the feet (like I do), not at all nose-heavy. Better than that, IMO, buy a higher end USED detector off of one of the various classified forums. You have a better chance of getting a detector that you'll 'grow' into instead of out-of. ..Willy.
