Hello, Folks!
So here is the situation:
Some years ago I owned two different detectors over a period of time, both Garrett models, both relatively basic models, and I was always happy with them. I sold them quite awhile back.
Now I would like to return to the hobby and I'm trying to figure out what model to purchase. I've been thinking about the Garrett AT Pro (probably a used model) or the Garrett ACE 400 (because, as I said, I've always liked the Garretts that I've owned).
So, to give you a bit more information, I live in eastern Pennsylvania and I would expect that I would be using the detector to search for things such as jewelry, coins, and relics. Or old nails and pull tabs.
So I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts or suggestions?
Any feedback on the Garrett detectors would be welcome and I would absolutely appreciate any recommendations regarding other detectors!
Also, what do you think about a pinpointer? I've never used one, but I've seen the opinion offered that it really is a great tool to have these days. Should I factor the cost of one into my eventual detector purchase?
THANKS very much for your time and advice!
