I finally pulled the "trigger" and ordered a Garrett 250 w/ headphones THANKS TonyinCT, my question is this...

How good is the ACE 250 for gold in places like in Arizona? Also how effective or useable is this one in freshwater sand (dry or wet), like on man made beach's around lakes?



I bought this to hunt dry lands and such and though it may sound funny to ask those 2 questions AFTER purchase, I intend to purchase a White's Beachhunter ID for my Long Island surf hunts....

Thanks...

Mike
 
Mike, send me an email when you're ready to buy the BeachHunter ID. I may sell mine after this summer or trade up for a DFX. I hardly ever do beach or underwater hunting.
 
The Ace uses a 6.5kHz frequency that is harder to find small nuggets. You need a higher frequency for gold. 14 or 18kHz is good. The GMT (gold prospector) is 48kHz.
 
Thanks for the heads up, I did some more reading into the specific strenghts. Make me want 3 detectors.....


Thanks again.

Mike
