Garrett Ace 250 Metal Detector

Product Information

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. Another thing to look for possibly is the detectors connectivity in relation to wireless headphones. Wireless headphones offer increased freedom from tangled cables. This is a great machine for the majority of soils. You can use it on dry sand but it won’t like saltwater, wet sand and highly mineralized soils.

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 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. Before the launch of the Equinox 600 and 800 models in early 2018 by Minelab, the hobbiest metal detector scene was dominated by single frequency machines. It should be noted that the control box is not waterproof. Only the coil is protected. However, that alone will open up a world of possibilities on where you can search. 4. Built-in PinpointerBeing widely known that different VLF frequencies have different benefits and shortcomings, the race was now on however to seek the newest, latest technology and multi VLF was it! It’s nice that sensitivity can be adjusted, especially with so many pre-set functions on the 200 model. It enables you to set it to the maximum sensitivity in perfect and calm soils, allowing users to identify tiny and deep targets.

On average, metal detectors can penetrate between 6 and 10 inches into the soil. The ACE 250 is no different. However, this model lets you know what you’re in for before you even start digging.

Garrett ACE 300 Search Coil

This is where the Garrett ACE 350 outperforms all of its predecessors. It has more iron detection segments than its forerunners. This helps you effectively eliminate unwanted targets and focus on what you’re looking for. If you’re hunting bigger and deeper targets, this machine makes for a good companion for your treasure hunting. 4. Search Modes 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.

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. x AA batteries are needed to power up which are housed in the control box and easily accessed in the usual way. The Garrett Ace Apex is from the American manufacturer Garrett and is their newest detector to offer this new multi frequency technology in which they call “Multi Flex”. waterproof search coil – water isolated search coil means that metal detecting on wet dirt or sand, or in wet grass and even some shallow water metal detecting are possible. However, the metal detector is not protected from heavy rain, or being accidentally dropped into the water

Paragon

The Go-Find 66 weighs just 1.06kgs and features four find modes for sharper detection and better reliability at sorting the wheat from the chaff, a pinpoint tone for zoning in on a target and five levels of sensitivity (handy when used in areas with lots of distracting metals). It also works in conjunction with an Android/iOS app for added functionality. The modes are factory pre-set but you can adjust them if you want. Starting out I didn’t bother and the detector worked without any issues. I even found a few things! You can put headphones in it, but if you don’t it will still make a beeping noise so you can find treasure. 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. Three tones indicate what metal you’ve found. High pitched noises mean its most likely a coin whereas low tones can signal a nail for example.
