Detector recommendation please

[webphut]

I am considering returning to the hobby of metal detecting at local parks, my backyard, horse trails and possibly some of the nearby schools. The last detector I owned was a Whites Gold Master III from 1997. Two things that I think I could learn to love is automatic simultaneous multi frequency and automatic ground balancing. The Garrett Ace 150, 200, and 250 have my attention. I absolutely love the simplicity of them. I am not sure if these come with automatic simultaneous multi frequency and auto ground balancing though. All recommendations for me would be appreciated.

I would look into the Xterra Pro, or the Xterra Elite, or even the Nokta Double & Triple Score metal detectors.

I've had good luck with the DEUS machines, if just for parks and such the DEUS I would do.
They can be kinda expensive though..

Years ago me and my hunting partner swore off Garrets just too unreliable, whites were great machines in their day but gone out of business
Tesoro also was a good machine, but now gone

Those Garrett detectors do not have multi frequency, they do make a couple models that do though. I would look at Nokta, Minelab and XP detectors.

Thank you.
I am 50 years old, in good decent physical condition. I live in Magnolia, Texas. That is about 45 minutes North West of Houston. My ability to understand computer and cell phone technology is slow at first, but once I understand and know it, I am pretty fast at it.

As for what I will be detecting, to begin, my backyard. Then once I get burned out on digging up the old bear can tabs and nails I will move on to the local parks and horse trails. Eventually I will branch out to locations more isolated and off the beaten path. Places which will require more driving to get to. My research is telling me that the only gold nuggets I may find in Houston are a necklace, bracelet or ring. I guess this narrows it down to coin/relic detector.

WOW, DEUS looks really nice.
