Default Looking to upgrade Ace250 --- Minelab Safari, Xterra 70, Explorer SE PRO?

Hi Everyone.

I'm looking to upgrade from my Ace 250 to a better detector. I'm mostly hunting grassy areas looking for coins and jewelry.I'm looking for a detector that can go a bit deeper than the Ace 250 on coins and relics. Ideally, the detector will have some sort of visual display and be able to suggest what the item may be. Trying to find those old silver coins!

Price is not really relevant, though if a less expensive machine with the same sort of capability is available, I would like to select that one over a more expensive machine.

I'm looking at: Minelab Explorer SE PRO, Safari, and the Xterra 705. Are there any other good ones in this price range (or lower, ) that would fit my needs? Also, I'd be looking to buy one so if a dealer can hook me up on some of these it would be awesome.
