Torn between two

[Coin Hunter]

About to upgrade to a real detector, the one I'm using is a no name that came in a plain box marked metal detector. Kinda narrowed it down to two that are within my budget- the ACE250 or the Ciabolo. I have been in contact with Chuck at Treasure Hut who has been very helpful . Just wanted to maybe hear from some users of either or both.

I'm still very green at this- have been hunting for about a month now. Couple of things I was looking for are easy to use, light weight. I mostly like to coin shoot but replics may be in the future.

Thanks for any input.

It has been getting great reviews on several forums. I bought one for a back up. It has many of the features of the high cost detectors but without all the bells & whistles.

It is perfect for the newbie and the coin shooter. I have several friends who have purchased one and are very satified with the Ace 250.

It's pinpointing is right on, the discrimination is easy and it locks onto a target really good. Learning curve is almost non-existing. I use mine when coinshooting and have done very well. "Ask Boobie"

Since you have only been hunting about a month I would get it, learn it and learn the proper ethic's of detecting, than save up for the higher priced detector.
