Alpha vs Ace 150

The alpha is good, The Teknetics Delta 4000 is a AWESOME machine. Very underrated.
I have not used the Delta but from my research (other users of the Delta) the 4000
will probably out preform the Ace 250 and MOST CERTAINLY the Ace 150. Don't get me wrong. I like the
Garrett machines but I do believe the extra money for the Delta 4000 will be worth the money.
I plan to get the 4000 with my tax return.

I had the Delta and I have to admit it is a good detector. I'm just looking for a cheap detector with a good performance. Must not miss anything within 6 inches on farmfields. I don't mind notches or many buttons and possibilities. Just simple reasonable performance.
Thanks, Eric.
Thanks, Eric.
The "work similar" in that they lack an All Metal mode and are bottom-priced, turn-on-and-go simple detectors. The Ace 150 "is not bad" for many people because it is inexpensive and simple. Then, there is the Alpha.Eric said:
I know this is a Teknetics Forum, but I post my personal opinions wherever and I could give the same answers on the Garrett Forum or any other. I found the Alpha to be a surprise for the dollar because it performs quite similar to the Delta in the Discriminate mode. better still, when comparing with the Ace 150 is the fact that the Alpha is a quicker-response/faster-recovery model, whereas the Ace 150 has the delayed response like the Ace 250.
Personally I would (and do) own the Delta for simple work, and I prefer a more featured model that has Ground Balance adjustment and incremental (variable) Discrimination control such as the Omega.Eric said:
But, if you liked the Delta, and you want simple but functional performance in the Discriminate mode, the Alpha is a good pick.
