Advice on a detector

[Shiftygold]

Hi i have been looking at the garrett ACE 400i and was wondering if it would be ok for gold detecting and if they are any good for a beginner?
Or are there anything else i should have a look at i have a budget upto about $700-$800
Thanks again

I would be looking at Gold Racer, Gold Monster, Equinox or Whites GMT. They are all a bit more than your price bracket but definitely worth a look.

Hi,Whites GMT would be your best bet,for your dollars .

400i would be no good for gold, they are a coin and relic detector.
You may be able to get a second hand GM1000 for you price range or alternative xterra 705.
I don't know about the whites but they have been recommended so should be OK.
Are you looking at only gold or also coins and relics?

I have one and touch wood have had no problems with it however it does get a bit grumpy on wet beach sand
In parks and beaches it has been picking up stuff as small as shoe tacks
Found lots but no gold but thats only because i have been no where that has that type of gold

I just got a gold monster 1000 from Anaconda for $989 down from $1199 as they say they will beat anyone by 10%. So I showed them the minelab dealers price and they did.
