As a detector for beginners until they find out if they are going to like detecting,this is a good one.It has multi tones,a notch system,preset ground balance like the Ace 250 and other low end detector.The target ID numbers were the same as the rest of the Fisher F series detectors.I had one as a demo for a while before I sold it.It got pretty good depth and the coin ID was pretty accurate.The lady I sold it to was finding coins like a pro the first afternoon.Bill
