johnphilip Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Cracking forum this. Thanks for all the advice gents. Have had a good look at the Teknetics Eurotek 2 and the Garrett Ace 250. Haven't felt this excited since Susan Caldwell took me behind the curtains at a school dance......I don't get out much. forget the garret ace 250, you will soon grow out of it .teknetics are good machines , i have had the T2 a very good machine. the wife uses the G2 . never read up more on the other machines as i know i have all the detector i need in the deus. take your time get on rogers relics , its like this forum P W very helpful people .

bruno22rf Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Had some of my best finds with the Ace 250-its simplicity is a bonus and its design costs were met by the CIA so the machine is unbeatable for value-you can pick them up for around £150 and you will need to spend at least 3 times as much to get a significantly better machine. I have the Fisher F75 SE with a built in Sunray probe-sits in my dining room 360 days a year-the ACE was never dusty!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39TDS Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 There's nothing wrong with an Ace but the Teknetics is a much better machine for the money. As said frequently, the bit that matters is being out there using it. The most expensive machine won't find anything at all while in the cupboard.

Scully Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Thanks for all your help gents; I think it's looking like the Teknetics Euro 2. I'm relying on the advice of your good selves as my nearest dealer only sells Whites, and the only other dealer in Cumbria is online only, but has all the models mentioned on this thread. So thanks again all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnphilip Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Kevin at staffs detectors is a nice guy, all his detectors are secondhand he will give you three months guarantee with one. Please let us know what you fancy before you comit your money to a detector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftycarper Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Lead shot won't as its too small but musket balls are a very common find.Ha ha yeah ok, my Deus will pick up lead the size of a lighter Flint, takes forever to find.Great hobby, been doing it on & off for 32 years, meet loads of great people especially on the camping weekenders. Hard to get permissions so usually go out with clubs. Expect a lot of people to be buying machines now after the weekend wanderers member pulled out that massive Saxon hoard over Christmas.
