I have a Whites 6T and really like it. I have had it about a month and have really got used to it. I have 2 boys who are really anxious to get one as they have gone with me the majority of the time.
I am wanting to get them each one for Christmas and have done some research. It seems like the Garrett Ace 250 is the one I am liking the most, but this is all on paper. I can't afford to get them one like I have, but I do not want to get them something that is low end and a exercise in frustration.
What are your thoughts? They are both 10 and 11 and very responsible, so my decision will in no way be based on "they are not responsible enough" to get a decent detector.
Also, what are peoples thoughts on buying used? I have seen several on eBay that said they were only used once or twice and have money back guarantees. New 250s are about $215 and the used ones I am seeing are going for about $160-170. That's quite a bit of savings if if they have only been used a little bit and are good as new.
