Garret Ace 250

Picked this detector up tonight fir $50. Doesn't look like it was used much at all. My boys are showing interest in metal detecting, and I think this would be the perfect starter detector.

I started with an ace 250 back in the 80s , they are a good entry level machine. I found a ton of civil war relics with mine. get the kids swinging over some coins and they'll be hooked.

I used a freedom ace coin commander for a good bit of detecting years.....it was green and found lots of goodies.

Thank you for the replies everyone. This is the first garret I've owned. I've been a whites guy my whole life , but based on what I've read , it seems like a decent machine.
