Just wondered if any one can give there opinion on either the Ace 150 or 250 when it comes to beach work, my son who is 30 wants to get in to detecting so needs a start up machine I know they are successfully on the fields . Most of you know I've been detecting for longer than I care to mention and like many of you have the top end machines to cover the fields and beaches that said I have never used an Ace so would welcome your experiences on this model. Cheers.......Spikey ;) ;)

waste of time on the beach mate

i use a minelab fbs on the beach but this guy does seem to find a bit,

Sorry but i thought the ace 250 was better than my Deus on the wet sand, just my opinion   :-\

Then again spikey you tight arse  ;D, supply your son with a decent machine  ;D ;D

you cant beat the explorer s on wet sand  i started with the garrets and would nt go back to them after using the explorer

Nothing beets a Minelab on the beach, full stop,  ;) ;)

Got to agree there my safari was so quiet on a beach no falsing  ;)

Did you miss the bit about him being 30, he got more money than me, took me 30 years of detecting to get were I am with finds and machines, he's a rooky, let him start at the bottom like his old man did ;) :D ;) any way it will probably be a flash in the pan?

Having used my Deus on the beach I'm sure your rite,save it for the hammered now that's a different ball game there awesome as you know ;)

Paul beginners luck in all that, I wonder what finds he'll pull out under dads nose :D

Ha Ha lmao spikey, this is the bit that stuck in my mind, Quote  ( like many of you i have the top end machines to cover the fields and beaches ) nuff said  ;D ;D ;D ;D

i would never argue that minelab is the way to go on beach :D

??? ???Stick by what I said thou, most of us have top end machines and I certainly include your safari! It was not meant to be critical about entry level machines :)

LOL quite possible eh Dale, if he does I will congratulate him and find a corner to sit in and cry and sulk.   ;) ;)

Hi celticspikey  , I use a 250 and a dues and I find the garrett a good little machine on the dry to damp sand but it will not cope with the wet sand due to its inability to manually ground balance but a good starter machine to learn on 

Thanks for your opinion it's what I suspected he will have to get a second hand sovereign if he does beaches.  ;) ;)

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D....what I like about garrett machines is...umm..umm

Second hand minelab or dfx spikey...

Cheers reckon your right Da Monkey  ;)

If you want one just for beach work, dry/wet sand then this can do the job no problem at all, not sure of their price 2nd hand.

Minelab Quattro MP.

Thanks Doug ;)
