I would consider getting the Minelab Xterra 505, or the 305 if you cant go the extra. I have had an ACE 250, and it's a very, very good detector. Dont let the looks fool ya. I had more luck with it in my first week, than I have had with my new 705

Probably not looking it the right places is all. If you stuck on the price you posted and cant go the extra mile for the 505, or the 705. Then I would buy a Ace 250, and a Good pinpointer. I prefer the Detector Pro, Pistal Probe. Or you can get the Xterra 305, which people say as as good as the xterra 70. Also You can go with the xterra 30, and an extra coil.
Get you a good digger, the only way to go is the Lesche.
Ace 250, Plus a good pinpointer. Dont get the Automax. Get the Garrett, or the Pistal probe, and a Lesche.
Or Xterra 30 + extra coil.
If you can any way possibly get the 505, just a C note more. Or save and get the 705.
