Title: Re: Laser Hawkey or ACE 250 Post by: Sexy Legs (Leighton) on April 21, 2010, 08:04:29 PM I agree. The 250 is an entry level machine, whereas the Hawkeye is mid-range.
I had a go of a Hawkeye a while ago and was very impressed with it. The target ID is quite accurate, since it is set for British coinage. Remember, the Garrett Ace is set for use in the US, so target ID doesn't really tell you much over here. I would've bought a Hawkeye, but opted for a Minelab when the chance came along. :) Title: Re: Laser Hawkey or ACE 250 Post by: Roman (Ray) on April 21, 2010, 08:32:52 PM HI BUTTY.
I BOUGHT A LAZER HAWKEYE.. AND FOUND A GOLD CELTIC STATER.I ONLY HAD THE MACHINE 5 WEEKS. EASY TO USE.AND I THINK MYSELF ITS A VERY GOOD MACHINE. VERY LIGHT MACHINE. BUT I CANT COMMENT ON THE GARRETT ACE 250.NEVER USED ONE. RAY.

Ive never owned either machine But ive sold the 2 for other people so ive had about 4/5 hours on each. If your thinking of buying either go for the Laser, The Hawkeye has better Discrim and Id say it went a few inches deeper on most soil types and most conditions. The Laser machine is built for the British market so you dont have to ignore the nickles, Dimes and Doller symbols on the display like with most machines all the best Phil Title: Re: Laser Hawkey or ACE 250 Post by: OzzyHeadSteve on April 22, 2010, 06:48:07 PM You took the words right out of my mouth.LOL
I'd go for the Lazar FOR KIWI TERRY LOL ;D ;D ;D ;D :) ;) :D ;D OZZYHEADSTEVE ;D :D ;) :) Title: Re: Laser Hawkey or ACE 250 Post by: rjm on May 20, 2010, 09:06:20 PM I've owned both. The Ace250 is amazing for the money. If you can get one for about £250 then it's the Hawkeye. A very capable machine but expensive new. Title: Re: Laser Hawkey or ACE 250 Post by: Johnboy25 on May 02, 2013, 07:24:52 PM I have just bought a new Laser Hawkeye and went out on a permission with it , found a George 5th one Floren 1916 a few bits and bobs but really enjoyed my few hours.started detecting with C.scop cs3mx good detector.
