The bounty Hunter Tracker looks the best. For metal detectors you want to get one that is sensitive ‘powerful’ and something that will ignore a paperclip. Most of the pop of the line detectors will just ignore small silly things like that, others will go off even if its just a small broken watch part.
Dont get your hopes up too high, I had one once and it was nice, but you get tired of running around in the heat only digging up junk.. very rare do you find something nice..
But its great excerise and I’m glad you’re going after something you enjoy. Good luck!

Stay away from both. The Bounty hunter is junk.Poor build quality. The Ace 250 is hard to learn how to pinpoint with. Where I live in the states I am seeing lots of people trading these in for something better. I have detected for over 25 yrs, and if I were you I would look at the Tesoro Silver U-Max. Cost is $239.00 U.S. I know this is more than you want to spend,but it is by far a better detector. Excellent depth.Very easy to use for a beginner.Plus it comes with a lifetime warranty.

between the two detectors you have chosen due to the amount you can spend, the garrett is the better. try to get as much etra items as you can, they add up also, digging tools ,head phones, etc cost extra, but look all the same type detectors the complete packge deal for $10.00 more is a lot better I would advise you try out the whites prism iv or v they have excelent return for the money and arent that much more. sincerly
