Garret 150 Vs 250

There's more search features on the 250 and you can discriminate the type of treasure you're looking for. It's the best all around metal detector for the money and there's actually deals on them right now. They have a package to sell with headphones, carry bag, reference book and etc. for about the price up just the detector. I would say 95% of the beginning detectors opt for the 250 over the 150. MountainMan2 on this forum found a $20k+ 1870CC Seated half dollar with an ACE250 if you want a little more incentive :)

Make sure you buy from a credible source, DON'T by from Indonesia etc, last year they had a completely fake website "selling" detectors. I don't care how good the site "looks" ask around.(kingsmetaldetector)<beware they are still on sites like Alibaba etc.

Yes I would get the Ace 250, it's an entry into "real" metal detectors. I can't comment on the 150 though.
Like it was mentioned, they sell the Ace 250 in a package, with a Garret bag and two search coils etc. I think it was a "sport" package or something.

Neither kit has the extra coil, but you might be able to get it somewhere else.
Regardless, you can save a few bucks by getting the extras in the kit.
Bascialy ready to go aside from maybe batteries.

So if you can get that Ace 250 package for $212, there is not much sense in settling for less.
