Garrett 1138070 ACE 150 Metal Detector

Product Information

This means experimenting at home with how much weight they can handle and for how long. This will give you some idea of the weight range that you should be shopping for. Height I love this detector . It looks really cool like Bumblebee and like it’s for pros – not a toy for babies. I felt like I had a mechanical arm which pulled me into wanting to use it more. I really like that there are only three buttons and it’s not hard to figure out. With just three buttons on its control unit, the Dr.OTEK Metal Detector keeps things pleasantly simple – there is a power button, sensitivity button, and pinpoint button. The pinpoint button hones in on the exact location of the find, making it easier to locate when digging. This metal detector was so simple to fit together I honestly wondered whether I had done it correctly. It’s intuitive and even though the instructions are excellent they’re really not needed at this early stage.

One gripe is that it couldn’t make up its mind on several targets. The indicator kept moving between 2 and 8 inches. Tones For a high-quality, entry-level metal detector, the HOOMYATX850 Metal Detector is accurate and easy to use. Also, the coil is waterproof, allowing you and your child to search for treasure even when it is raining.

The Garrett Ace 150 is different. The low price tag makes it a more affordable option, but the metal detector does not sacrifice as many functions as alternatives. The relic hunter still gains access to functions that helps them find coins and other items buried under the ground. Want to skip the long read? Here is my choice for best metal detector: Garrett ace 400i is a perfect one to start learning how to metal detect and to go into advanced metal detecting with it. It’s well made, easy to get used to and comes at a very affordable price for a detector. It’s not only well made, but it also comes with plenty of accessories, that can help you get used. If you have some extra funds, also consider investing in a hand probe for pinpoint accuracy once the main detector has found its target. These handy gizmos are very sensitive and really good at locating the source of the find: they emit a continuous tone that gets louder as you approach the target. The Garrett Pro-Pointer is an excellent model in this respect, but it’s not especially cheap.

In fact, this metal detector looks quite old fashioned and does not have any fancy digital technology to make itA good middle ground is the Garrett ACE 150. This piece of kit is a bank account-friendly metal detector from an excellent brand. Firstly, a search coil of around 22 – 27 cm (9 – 11”) is ideal for beginners. This will detect to a good depth without being too expensive. What was immediately obvious were the tones. There are three different tones that indicate the type of metals you’ve found. The 250 has three different tones that indicated what metal I’d found without looking at the display. Once I’d hit the squealing it was a case of pressing the ‘down’ button until it stopped. This gave me the highest sensitivity without interference.

Most metal detectors run on four AA batteries. It’s a good idea to take a spare set with you because detecting can be a very time-consuming pursuit and you don’t want to run out of juice just before possibly striking gold. At the same time, they will have a much easier time finding buried items, in particular finding the type of objects Suitable for use in the rain, the Equinox 800 is waterproof up to 3 m. It can also be used to search in shallow fresh or salt water, with the possibility of working marginally better than the Garrett AT Pro Metal Detector around salt water thanks to the multi-frequency technology.The tones of the 150 detector become very easy and clear to understand after a few hours of getting used to the machine. Just keep an ear out for the “double dinger” you will understand when you hear it! Depending on the size of your child, they may not be able to handle a lot of weight. If you choose a metal detector that is too heavy for them, they may not be able to hold it properly.
