Good luck.Nap

they are good starter machines,if you shop around you will find other makes for cheaper ,keep looking,try gumtree,pre loved and local paper . someone on here might be able to help u out .good bunch on here. good luck mike.

i started 2 years ago with a garret ace 250,i now have 3 machines.

Title: Re: looking for a new meatal detector only have 75 quid Post by: ysbytymike on January 21, 2013, 10:26:09 AM Too be honest. Your probably better off saving that £75 and trying to add to it somehow and get a good secondhand
machine to start with, rather than compromising purely due to price. JMO..
