Garrett Ace 250 Metal Detector

Product Information

round Garrett 4.5 inches Super Sniper Search Coil with waterproof casing, created specifically for small shallow targets, trashy areas, and metal detecting in narrow places. You can, however, conveniently set it up without any external assistance or equipment. Joining the parts together with the pieces given is all that is needed for the installation process. Let’s have a look at a video by US detectorist “Treasure Outdoors” where he compares both detectors on a buried 14k gold ring. These tests do have their merits and are useful but aren’t conclusive. The difficulty was in choosing which detector was best. Did you go for a low frequency machine, a medium frequency or a higher frequency machine?

The control box takes 4 x AA batteries which were supplied and fit the usual way in the hood of the control box. This low-frequency metal detector is suitable for simple metal detecting, such as looking for coins, jewelry, and other tiny metallic items on dry ground, dry beaches, or freshwater environments. There are 8 sensitivity settings from low to high which are controlled with a left to right button pad. Usually, other models arrive with a headphone, but this is the only one which doesn’t. So, unless you enjoy being in front of a crowd, you’ll want to invest in some. 8. Digital Target ID Some people say that Garrett ACE 350 is not a versatile metal detector for various environments; however, there’s a different opinion to be made too. It’s an entry-level device; this is true; however, You shouldn’t compare it to high-end devices that have too ambitious features to be built into them. The one downside of the device is its fixed frequency setting. However, it has an adjustable sensitivity control that works miracles! It allows you to compare and adjust your metal detector to your soil and the discipline you’re working on. 2. Segment-Based Target IDIt’s amazing at detecting all metals and I got lots of exciting signals, but if you have shoes that include metal then I would recommend holding the detector pretty far in front of you, so you don’t set it off by accident. Also, if you get too near another detector it will start beeping.

Likewise, there is protection for the forearm when changing the settings on the control box. Generally speaking, it’s an excellent metal detector to use. On his first trip out, Max wasn’t bothered about the sensitivity button preferring to hunt for coins on the pre-set. On our second trip to the woods, where there were fewer signals, he started to play with the sensitivity, turning it up until it squealed and then down just enough to stop it from making a constant noise. This could make a difference finding a very small, valuable object or even collectively with the other frequencies giving additional target information to identify a target more accurately at depth.There are 6 buttons on the Garrett Ace 250, Power, Discrimination, Mode, Sensitivity, Pinpoint, and Elim (Short for eliminating) and it features the simple LED display. Kids will appreciate its touch-and-go aspects. Max simply pressed the power button, selected coin mode, and was off down the road searching for money. The ACE 250 keeps things on the simpler side. It has a graphical target display, which uses 12 different segments of the conductivity scale. Just keep an eye out on the LCD screen as you prospect. The appropriate signal will light up to let you know what you’re looking at. 3. Submersible Coil Up to eight inches depth on dry sand and ‘normal’ soils you’ll find jewelry, relics, coins, and trash.

The ACE 300 has an adjustable frequency of 8 kHz and can be tweaked if you’re detecting with a friend (the best days) and your machines are singing a duet, or there are overhead cables interfering with the signal. Modes Constant signals that yield nothing lead to boredom and a toy metal detector that ends up in the shed, and then the tip. The Garrett ACE 150 is the lowest priced in Garrett’s range but the overall design is the same as their pricier models.

The control box is placed at the top of the handle where your fingers can easily reach the buttons and I was easily able to see the readouts once I’d hit a target. Compared to other metal detectors I’ve seen the buttons are few and simple which is great news for someone that’s easily confused like me. x AA batteries are needed to power up which are housed in the control box and easily accessed in the usual way. Custom mode so you can choose a mixture of the above or your own special recipe. The ACE 400 saves your custom mode so it’s ready to go next time. Jewelry and coins have pre-determined processes of discrimination crafted for the search for such targets. Coin and jewelry modes exclude all ferrous signals and concentrate on the metals used to make coins and jewelry, such as gold, brass, copper, bronze, and silver.
