Garrett Ace 250 Metal Detector

Product Information

Headphones weren’t included in my box, but I found a pair of ¼ inch headphones that fitted the jack port on the control box. For a metal detectorist with over 20 years of experience, the ACE 400 is an excellent machine for coin and jewelry hunting!

Be aware of the washers here – they have three small points that need pushing into the matching holes. Its main advantages are: resistance to interference, sufficient sensitivity and excellent accuracy in the pinpoint mode. Sometimes, when a good sound came through mixed with an iffy one, a slow, careful sweep could separate junk near a good coin.Again, depending upon hunting conditions, including trash level, beach hunters should love this mode for finding rings, bracelets, and other jewelry. Starting in the Jewelry Mode at the next park, it didn't take me long to decide that digging pulltabs was no fun. On dry sand areas inland, I was digging nickels with strong signals at up to 8", and that is a good indication for gold rings of similar conductivity.

Make sure the wire isn't wrapped so tight near the connector on the housing that it pulls on the connector with each sweep. The Ace 250 is an interesting, ergonomic arrangement with a three-piece S-handle design having an elbow rest/stand at one end, a 6. I had positive responses when I said I was using a Garrett ACE 250, so the pose value is there if you worry about that kind of thing. Upon detecting a target that had produced a high-tone signal, we did not spend more than a second for deciding whether or not to dig it up as every signal represented a nice artifact.As with all detectors, be aware that eliminating the signals of bad targets may also reject good targets. When I could make that list, the next metal detector choice came down to 2 models – the Garrett AT PRO and the Minelab X-Terra 705. You can see from it that Garrett Ace 300 has such a convenient function as Digital Target ID and camlocks. Something to be aware of is that it makes a lot of noise when you first turn it on– I figured this was because I was indoors surrounded by lots of metals.
