Detector For My Dad in Florida
I want to buy a detector for my dad . He has expressed interest in getting one and I would like to surprise him with one. He knows nothing about detecting and this will be his first. He lives in Largo Florida. I would like to get something in the $200 price point for him. Light weight and easy to use. I think he is liking something with a display. I am considering the Ace 250 for him. I have a M6 and love it , so I would consider the Prizm. Any input would be great.
Thanks All

I have the Ace 250 and the Prizm III, Both are good machines. The Ace 250 identifies the targets better to me. But have found good stuff with both.

The Prizm III is great but will cost you about $350

I would check with our sponsors and see if they have a deal going on...You can get an Ace for about 200 dollars and that would be a good starter machine....What ever you chose he will like it...Buster...

That's a great idea, Key Largo I would bet would be a great place to detect!

Thank you all for replying! I would get him a M6 like I have, but he needs something lighter in weight. I have really heard many good things about the Ace 250.
