Garrett 1138070 ACE 150 Metal Detector

Product Information

Using metal discrimination, the metal detector can ‘discriminate’ between different types of metal. It will either use a variety of ‘beeps’ to alert you to which type of metal you have found, or actively ignore certain types of metal on request. This is useful, for example, if searching in an area with high iron-content in the ground, as the detector can ignore any iron findings. Custom mode is used to store your own personal discrimination settings, factory preset it is the same as coin mode, but you can edit this as you see fit. Also, I think you bring up a very good subject, in case you want additional weight loss what I can suggest is that you may also replace the coil with a carbon fiber one, the only problem with that will be the budget (it’s expensive) and they are actually hard to find. On the flip side, there are pricey metal detectors that require delicate handling and no parent wants to hand their child an expensive piece of kit only to see it broken or abandoned. For those who think that the 400i is too loud without the headphones, you can quiet the unit down by placing a strip of duct or Gorrilla tape on the speaker vents on the underside of the control box. If too quiet, just remove one strip of tape. Works awesome. High tones and shallow finds to all the new detectorists. 🙂

Hi, I’ve never been metal detecting. Seriously thinking of getting this model and joining a club. I live in Dorset, England.

A new powerful Double-D PROformance search coil has been added, which detectorists seem to really like, there are a lot of reports of it giving greater depth and performance. The Power button also doubles as the Iron Audio button. By pressing this button, you are able to hear discriminated iron. Overall, this is a top-of-the-range metal detector for a good price. Garrett has not cheaped out on their entry-level model and used some, but not all, of their top technology. For example, its 6.5 x 9 inch PROformance search coil is the same as the more expensive models in their range.

In terms of the design, the Garrett ACE 400i looks a lot like the other ACE models with the exception of a cross-shaped coil. This metal detector consists of a shaft, a PRO Performance 8.5″ x 11” DD coil, and a 400i control box. The shaft ends in a comfortable arm rest that comes equipped with an adjustable Velcro strap. There is also a coil cover available which can be snapped on with ease. This detector does not perform well in saltwater. Saltwater has high mineralization, which this unit is not equipped to overcome. Plus, the water can cause noticeable oxidation issues on the search coil. If you are searching a metal detector for saltwater or beach hunting read this guide.The Garrett ACE 150 is the lowest priced in Garrett’s range but the overall design is the same as their pricier models. It can be used on different terrain, and doesn’t require the ground to be totally dry – the 17 cm coil is waterproof and can be used in shallow water like rivers and the sea shore. The Discrimination button is used in conjunction with the Accept/Reject button to ensure that trash is rejected.
