[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 296308, member: 1695"] As Silver mentioned, the Ace 300i might be right up you alley at $499. Not a huge amount of difference between that and the older Ace 250 except for ID numbers, faster recovery speed, larger coil, slightly higher frequency, improved stem and frequency shift. Very easy detectors to use, certainly moreso than the 305, though I would expect more depth ability on mineralised ground with the 305 due to ground balance controls. The Ace series also have a whole raft of Garrett and aftermarket coils to suit various application. Pretty sure the new Ace series comes with control box cover, skid plate and volume control headphones. :) Also note that the more expensive Ace 400i includes the larger DD coil, iron audio, and yet again a higher frequency, other that that they are pretty similar (approx $650, have seen prices closer to $600 from some dealers).
