I purchased this metal detector to help find a lost wedding ring. We believed it to be in a backyard or driveway and had scoured the area multiple times with no luck.We got this Garrett ACE 250 from Amazon with Same-Day shipping as our last resort. It took about 3 minutes to put together, including reading the instructions.
Controls to adjust sensitivity, discrimination, and elimination were all rather simple to use, as was the pinpoint function.
We took it out and used it for about an hour, learning as we went and narrowing settings. I then went over an area that we had searched many times before and got a strong hit. I moved away the leaves and scratched away some dirt where the detector had pinpointed. There it was: just a glimmer but I had found my ring. It had fallen off my hand and been stepped on enough that it was pressed down into the soil.
First time out and the detector paid for itself 2.5 times over.
Highly recommend this unit. I will say that I have no experience with other units, but as a novice this detector was easy to use and got the job done.
