Heres another one for you guys to launch into.
Im with Tony and Monty. I wouldn't get another 3300, and if I had to choose between the Ace 250 or 3300, the BH/RS unit would stay on the shelf.
Here's some more for you to latch on to, pick out and quote to death. I do not know what Im talking about. Ive only had one - count it, one - 3300 and I didn't have it a week. What a piece of crap! I got rid of it in a hot minute. And dont start with your "gotta stay with it," yadda yadda yadda's...
Like TonyCT, I've used top of the line to entry level detectors, from every maker over the years and I know enough to know what I like. I wouldn't consider owning a 3300 again. Wait, Ill change that; if I found one at a yard sale, I might buy it.
That's just what it was worth, to me. It was flimsy and shoddily built and just had nothing going for it, performance-wise, over others. Manual ground balance? Big deal - nothing unique in that. It certainly is not heads over an Ace 250, which is a solid performer on every count. The Ace coil alone is worth more than an entire 3300, in my book.
Now, if you dont agree with the above, thats your right. If it offended you, then you might want to consider getting a life. It's metal detectors here, folks, not the end of the world. It's a hobby, remember?
You might also recall that some wisdom was spoken in this thread: "Have fun." Keep that in mind.
