It's been some time since I have been metal detecting but with retirement approaching and new ground to explore (NE Michigan) I want to invest more time in both being on the Forum and in being in the field. One question at this time though.... I started with the ACE 250 which has paid for itself more than a few times with clad and jewelry and entertainment.... so I'm wondering what the folks here would recommend for my next detector. Back in the day, the E-trac was the latest and greatest, but what about in 2023?

Any thoughts and comments would be appreciated!
