Garrett Ace 250 Metal Detector

Product Information

The machine is lightweight weighing just 1.27 Kgs! Making it a great detector to use all day long without causing any fatigue. It has added grip padding and elbows support padding which adds to the comfort. It isn’t a great secret that Minelab pioneered the first multi VLF technology which they placed in their Equinox 600 and 800 detectors. (I currently use a Minelab Equinox 800) Newhigher frequency (8 kHz) provides better sensitivity on low and medium-conductivity targets (i.e. gold, lead) The Garrett brand is no stranger to producing some great metal detectors. Ask any seasoned enthusiast, and they’re bound to have some good things to say about the company. There are several things you need to understand to give you an edge in the field. This model of the Garrett ACE unit is the cheapest metal detector in the series. It’s the simplest metal detector, but it’s still a great one with good value functions for the cost.

This was like multi frequency but was a digitised square wave technology rather than a VLF (Very Low Frequency) analogue technogy which was pioneered by scientist Bruce Candy. The Garrett ACE 350 is an exceptional metal detector that you should rank high on your list if you’re not ready to invest in an expensive or high-end detector. If you have a hobby of collecting metals and minerals, then this device should fit your needs.The Garrett Ace 440i comes with a strap-on rain cover for the main unit, a camouflaged swag bag and a pair of cool Garrett-branded headphones to keep all that beeping from bothering others around you. It’s a fairly pricey model, but its practical, time-saving functions will save you a lot of unnecessary digging. Top premium buy. At this time, lower frequency metal detectors could be around 3Khz, middle frequency machines could range from 7-12Khz and higher frequency machines up to 18Khz. It’s all labelled and the display is clear – although in bright sunlight you’ll be squinting. The main buttons are mode, discrimination, and sensitivity and they work on a plus and minus toggle. There are iron audio and frequency adjust buttons too. It seems that the Notch Discrimination is one of the most advanced features in ACE 300, and at the same time it can be one of the most complicated features to master for a beginner detectorist. This is why we offer two more tips on Notch Discrimination. This contributes to the stem’s continuity by maintaining that it is still kept intact. As soon as you’ve finished installing it, you can immediately start using the metal detector.

The fact that it has an extra frequency and a slightly bigger coil over the Ace Apex along with noise cancelling and iron bias functionality just makes it a more rounded performer. Higher frequency machines weren’t as deep seeking but performed better on smaller targets and thinner sectioned coinage like hammered British silver coins.

Garrett has become synonymous for the philosophy for unparalleled customer satisfaction. The Garrett range has a wide selection of specialised detectors, allowing you to move to a more advanced detector as your skills progress. Since their foundation in 1964 Garret has been a market leader in metal detection. This particular model runs on a 6.5 kHz frequency. It’s a suitable frequency for finding coins, jewelry, and other metals with good conductivity. 2. Multiple Sensitivity Levels I mentioned at the start there was an iron audio button on the control box. This is an upgrade on the 350 and allows you to hear certain iron targets depending on your discrimination. Low tones are iron, higher for coins and my wedding ring pinged the highest tone. The tones were helpful because it meant Max didn’t have to look at the screen so much, relying on the dings instead . A good target produced a double ding.
