Hi and welcome. Talk to one of the sponsors they can narrow it down for you based on your needs and the composition of your soil. I bought an Ace 250 but it hated my soil and had to upgrade almost immediately. I wish I had came here 1st and talked to Chuck b/c he knew what my soil conditions were and that my detector and I were not in sync. Happy Hunting.

Hey Steve, Welcome to TQ, hope you find a detector.
You wouldn't happen to be a transmission lineman, would you

Hi Steve and welcome to TQ. I agree with all of the above. I am also a fan of the White's line. I have owned White's machines since the mid 1970's and have never had any problems with them. They make a good solid machine that works great. Good luck with your choice and let us know how you make out.
