Garrett EuroAce - tempted to buy one, are they worth it?

Hello all,

I'm tempted to buy a Garrett EuroAce, I've seen them on offer at £240 which suits my budget.

The only comparison I've seen is against a machine costing £1k more so a bit pointless.

Is the Nel Tornado a worthwhile additional purchase?

Thanks,
Steve.

Hi Steve, can't give much advice on the Garrett as I've not had one, however they are popular on here and some good finds fall to them, I'm sure you will get advice from there owners mate ;)

                          I have been using a Garrett EuroAce for some time now and have been rather pleased with it's performance. I also purchased a Garrett 4.5 sniper coil and a Nel Tornado for use under varying conditions. The Sniper coil has proved it's worth on scrappy ground and in tight areas where even the stock coil will not fit. As for the Nel Tornado; it has speeded up detecting of large grass land areas and I feel that it helps to compensate for loss of depth when detecting over stubble.

                         As with many metal detectors, the EuroAce can be fooled by rusty iron and some times gives a promising signal for rusty scrap! My one major disappointment with the EuroAce is it's poor performance on wet beach sand. Upon moving onto wet sand, one is required to reduce the sensitivity and consequently suffer a loss of depth; but having said that, I have still made finds on wet sand.

                        Here are just a couple of my EuroAce finds...

Not to mention!!!!!!!!

Euro ace is a fine unit SP.Price is a big issue on all units as the electronics steps it up a notch. My advice would be to start with the Euro, as it's a reliable set up, just as the finds show from Resurgram, he knows the set up and I am certain he knows a few tricks to help you along.
I use a Whites DFX, which suits me, but there's a 3030 which whispers to me at night  ;)
We all get tempted.
Good luck buddy
