well i found this site by doing some research on the garrett ace 250.. after stumbling on a complaint about it. kinda one sided if i might say i found the members here very positive. i just got my new garrett ace 250 yesterday and it seems like a logical choice. i was a avid hunter back in the day and truly missed it. but raising 3 boys work etc has limited me to some relaxing times till now. i did find by snooping around here there are alot of members with alot of advice and mature help. i will be getting used to the new toy this weekend. i will be navigating around here for a bit for advice and how too stuff. i cant believe i waited this long to purchase and decide to get out again after 30+ yrs.. hopefully i will be posting pics very soon .. one can always dream!!!
