Any of have any experience with the Garrett Ace 300? I know there are a few detectorists on Tman and was hoping for some reviews I could trust. I picked up a used Bounty Hunter pioneer 202 to see if i liked detecting, and I do. Even though I've only found a penny so far.

But I see metaldetector.com has the Ace 300 on sale for $300 and it comes with a bunch of accessories including the Pro-Pointer AT pinpointer, plus a bonus Bounty Hunter pinpointer.

For $300 it seems like a good deal for an intermediate level detector with better capabilities than an entry level model but without breaking the bank. I see other vendors have the 300 for arpund $255 but with the pinpointers, which are nearly a $200 value alone.

Thoughts?

Very good entry level model. Will find coins and junk but with practice you will learn to discern between the two. I have one and it has held up well for the past 5 years.
Watch the "Hoover Boys" on YouTube as they are a hoot and use Garrett products!

it very good machine, but if you like detecting go with AT pro, then you can go into the water too.
