[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 376765, member: 1695"] The 705 is a more capable detector than any of the Ace series, simply down to the fact that the 705 has the ability to ground balance whereas the Ace 400i cannot. That essentially means that the 705 will operate more efficiently over more diverse ground conditions, whilst maintaining optimum depth capability. The Ace has a preset ground balance, and will as a result will struggle in some areas. Probably better off categorising the Ace series as beginner detectors, the 705 being able to run different frequency coils, having adjustable ground balance, more tone and discrimination options, screen backlighting etc makes it a more advanced option. Having said that, if beach detecting was your primary objective, I'd have to agree with Phasetech on the use of a multi-frequency detector over the other two options (ie. Minelab Equinox, Safari, Etrac). PI detectors like the CS4PI are great for operating on wet sand, but ultimately the lack the discrimination of the multi-frequency detectors (ie. You will be digging many junk targets with the CS4PI). Just have to weigh up which machine offers the most performance benefits for your budget. [/QUOTE]
