I have been using a Garrett Ace 250 for about 4 years now, last year I bought a 15 x 13 SEF butterfly search coil for it and had a lot of success. Recently I have had a couple of great opportunities to hunt at some rather old/historical sites. One problem though..................interference from powerlines and such. It's very frustrating so I have decided I want to upgrade. I have been doing alot of reading and research on both the Minelab E-Trac and the Tesoro Cortes. Which is better ? The Cortez is only about 1/3 of the price of the E-trac and it also comes with a lifetime warranty but does that make it a better detector ? I like detecting for coins and also for relics. I'm in upstate NY and don't ever hunt beaches. Which do you reccomend and why ? Thanks for any input !
