Hi Ken, I am partial to Garretts although Whites does make a very good machine. The TreasureAce 250 is a very impressive low cost detector. The GTP 1350 is moderately priced and does a very nice job. The GtI 2500 is extremely versitle and very sensitive, However it is more expensive.

Welcome. You're going to like it here. You can learn alot. I did. I love my MXT from Whites. It's my 1st detector so I'm going to be figuring it out for a while. Enjoy!

practice and experience are the greatest asset regardless of the type of detector! Welcome to the forum and we look forward to your future posts! 8)

Welcome aboard and whatever detector you choose, PLEASE stay with the name brands, if you can go to a dealer, check out the detector review websites and pick one you feel you'll be comfortable with. HH Bob.B

Welcome to the forum! Looks like you are doing well with your friend's detector!

Welcome to the forum Kenneth. It sounds like you are doing pretty good so for with your finds congrats. And it seems you are doing well with the whites you are using. I like the Garrett Ace 250, you just have to learn the machine you are using.

Well,

How ya doin' Welcome aboard.

Take the advice on getting the best you can afford. I'm a minelab fan but the white's are just as good I'm sure. That prizm you've been using will do just fine. You could spend a month researching which one to buy. Don't kill yourself over this decision! Just figure out a budget, figure out what features you want in the detector, and get the one you like that is easiest to operate for you. You'll have to get used to whatever you buy anyhow.

Good luck.

Welcome, Ken. I'd say you're off to a good start wilth your friend's Prizm. If you are doing good w/his then by all means aquire one like it. If not to your liking, then look at comparable name brand units such as White, Bounty Hunter, Fisher, Garrett. HH and good luck.
