Ace 300

[Dan M.]

I started detecting a year ago using the Ace 300 and found the normal stuff like coins, bullet casings, cheap ring, etc. I also have a Gordon High Precision from Harbor Freight that seems to find more coins than the ace. Should I upgrade, or keep learning the ace 300 or??? Thanks

Upgrade. Look at >$200. Shop used if you want to save $. Garrett’s are over priced imo. Look at Nokta, ML vanquishes, Quest, Fisher - sometimes they offer huge savings on feebay directly from them “FirstTexasProducts”

Thanks, I have actually been looking at the Minelab detectors. The Equinox 800 to be specific. I don't want to inch my way up, I have 3 detectors already, 2 Garretts and Gordon from Harbor Freight that performs as good or better than the Garretts. Any thoughts on the Equinox?

Get the Legend. Get away from the door bells.

Well loved detectors. The 600 and 800 are not waterproof. Never used the 7 or 900. I too prefer the Legend.

I found a Legend on ebay for 345.00. Should I go for it?

Find out what program it's running.
Some guys the 1.11 messed up the machine.

Thanks for the info but I got outbid and didn't get the Legend but that's my choice for my next purchase. On another note, which coil is better for trashy soil, 10 X 7 or 9 X 6 1/2? Or are they too close in size to notice a difference?
