<p>[QUOTE="l.cutler, post: 868987, member: 13318"]I haven't used any of these detector models but have used all of the major brands. Been detecting for almost thirty years and follow the metal detecting forums closely. The Ace 250 is newer technology, the White's Classic line is a bit older. The larger coil will get you deeper, but with a slight loss in sensitivity to smaller items and they are much harder to use in trashy areas, may be covering several targets under the larger coil. I would guess you would be looking at possibly 5 to 8 inches on coin size objects with either detector depending on the soil. Mineralized soil would decrease the depth. Even with the best detectors you would be looking at another 2 to 4 inches. I am sure there will be disagreement with this, it is sort of like "my Ford is faster than your Chevy". Just my take on it. You can't go wrong if you stick with the major brands, Tesoro, Fisher, Garrett, White's, Minelab.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
