Product Information

Finally, metal detecting is a great way to build a bond between parent and child. Spending time together is only going to be good for your relationship, and detecting with others can be great fun. You may even find other families with children who enjoy metal detecting – helping your child to make new friends and socialise! Things to Look Out For Garrett is a family business from the USA and aims to build the best possible metal detectors. They also offer great customer service because they are passionate about metal detectors and metal detecting. Just as we are here at Crawfords. The LED displays the following features, battery level, depth of the target, the mode selected, and sensitivity. There’s a handy depth indicator that displays how far down you need to dig once a target is identified too, which is a great addition that means less digging and happier landowners. However, it can be a bit hit and miss. I think that the ace 150 will be a great Xmas gift for your son, but, keep in mind that you should spend some time with him helping to assemble it.

This handy feature indicated whether the find was at 2 inch, 4 inch, 6 inch, or 8 plus inches depth. The ACE 250 is a VLF detector. VLF, or very low frequency, technology is an easy-to-use and good for finding most metals without any issues. Inside that elliptical search coil, there are actually two separate coils. One is a transmitter while the other is a receiver. The settings on the Garrett Ace 150 are very simple to understand and are self-explanatory. With just 3 buttons, Mode, Sensitivity and the power switch. There’s also a coin depth feature that tells you how far down to dig. It has 2 inch, 4 inch, 6 inch, and 8 inch plus markers. This is handy because it kept mess to a minimum and ensured we weren’t digging more than needed (it’s hard work!).

Where Is Best To Use The Garrett ACE 200?

Having target ID makes it easier to anticipate what the find may be. If the target ID is shown clearly on the screen, it is also easier for children to interpret rather than requiring them to understand the different beeps of the detector. Pinpointers There are 8 sensitivity settings from low to high which are controlled with a left to right button pad. Hi Lee, with the default coin attached to it, your Garrett Ace 150 should find things up to ~21cm or 8” depth. You can put headphones in it, but if you don’t it will still make a beeping noise so you can find treasure.

Metal detecting can be a great hobby for the ‘technology-obsessed’ younger-generations to get involved with. It offers users the chance to explore and appreciate the great outdoors. Plus, it can create a reason to go on different outings with your children. You can enjoy metal detecting in the park near your home, or head to the beach or nearest river for a little hunt around. Metal detecting is also a great way for you and the kids to get to know the local area. 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.

We took the Garrett ACE 150 into the garden so Max could get used to its settings. I threw a few coins around for him to find.

Hi Alicia, I think you can try different modes and see if you’re still getting false beeps. Another thing that can trigger that is from small coins that well buried and hard to see. Well, if you got really used to the ace 150 and you would like something with more options, then the 400 is the right way to go. Keep off heavily mineralised ground and saltwater and use the sensitivity setting to help you out if it’s struggling. As a beginner there’s enough tech to keep you occupied without adding more faff. Yes, but you need permission from the owner of the park. Often, this is the local council, so you’ll need to ask them first before you start metal detecting. This also applied to using a metal detector on farmland – you’ll have to get permission from the landowner and agree how and finds will be divided up. These modes will help no end in your quest for buried treasure. Use them and you WILL find decent targets.
