I've just passed through a stage of posting to various treasure forums and purposely asking questions and making statements that would hopefully provoke some useful commentary in regard to today's metal detector market.
I was successful!
The sum: All brands and models stink!
No, I'm not kidding. If you post enough what you'll discover is there's always someone out there who knows all the technical jargon who will trash any and all machines.
When I was getting serious about purchasing a Tesoro, I couldn't find a sour note online. Some disliked this or that feature (or lack of same) but I found no statements like: "the Ace 250 is better than any Tesoro." Just recently in answer to one of my posts someone wrote: "I'd take an Ace 250 any day over any Tesoro" (or words to that affect).
It's really funny because I had someone on here post this same thing last spring (it was directed at me) stating that: "I'd rather have an Ace 250 than any Minelab!" (back then I was using the Minelab Excalibur).
Lately I've noticed that anytime someone wants to bash a brand and or model, the Ace 250 almost always pops into the story.
A few years back I was a Fisher man all the way. I was told in two or three languages that they are all junk. Unfortunately for the commentors, the Ace 250 wasn't around yet so they used the lowest cost Bounty Hunter.
This little voyage of mine has been interesting and I have learned a few things along the way. The major thing I've learned is NOT to take online reviews or even forum postings too seriously. When in the market for a new machine, read many postings to get a general direction and then pray?
P.S. Just one more added note. I also found those who say the Ace 250 is a cheap little toy. Round and round we go, where we stop--nobody knows.
