Hello. I'm just starting out and want to get into metal detecting, but the problem is I'm disabled and on quite a bit of a budget. I can probably swing about 2 to 3 hundred dollars, so after some research I was looking between two different models. Garrett Ace 200, or the Tesoro Compadre. Both of them are around the same price and both appeal to me for different reasons that really have nothing to do with actual metal detecting, since i am a newb and have no idea what im doing lol.
If you had it to do all over again and on a budget, which would you choose? Why? Thank you in advance for answering and giving your opinion.
Also, I know I would also need to purchase a digging tool. Does this need to be specific for metal detecting? Does it need to be serrated on one edge? Can these be had fairly cheaply?
The last Question. A pointer. Is this needed? It seems that a decent one of these costs almost as much as a low end MD. Is that right? That may be a hard sell for me then. Would it just be throwing my money away on a cheaper one?
Thank you for bearing with me and taking the time to read this.
