Garrett Ace 250 Metal Detector

Product Information

Garret has added digital target ID with numerical information to the ACE 400 which is a great move as the 350 didn’t have that level of tech. If you want to find small items, you’ll need to increase the machine’s sensitivity. The ACE 250 metal detector has 8 different sensitivity levels that you can adjust on the fly. You can fine-tune your treasure hunting experience and make those difficult-to-find objects much easier to find. 3. Simple Notch Discrimination

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. As a further aid, you also get three types of audio tone – low for ferrous objects like nails, a mid tone for stuff like silver foil wrappers and a bell-like tone for more precious metals like silver and gold. The Ace 400i also features an ‘iron tone’ button that can be engaged to discriminate between a bottle top with iron in it and a valuable coin. With the iron tone button deployed, a buzzing tone is emitted on the edges of the target area to let you know a dig ain’t worth a dime. Finally, once you’ve located a target, tap the pinpoint button and it will emit a long tone that increases in volume when directly above the item. Simplicity, as usual, is key with the ACE range of detectors, it comes just a few sections, the Control Panel, The upper stem with the elbow rest attached, and the lower stem which attaches to a search coil. As with the Garrett ACE 150 and the Garrett ACE 250 it can be assembled in just a matter of minutes. The common thing you’ll be concentrating on is the identification scale. It will tell you whatever you’ve discovered before excavation. This is the numerous Garrett target ID. Relics mode is used to discriminate against smaller pieces of iron like nails while retaining the lower end of the conductivity scale keeping good targets such as brass and bronze.

consumer-grade technology is often VLF ( Very Low Frequency). This means the detector hastwo search coils: one that sends out a low-frequency wave into the soil and Ultimately, Garrett has created a great entry-level detector. It’s a highly accessible metal detecting option that’s perfect for novices. Instead of scaring away would-be prospectors with high prices and a bevy of complicated features, the ACE 250 makes it easy to start searching right out of the box. What’s not to like? Light weight, powerful, entry-level detector that's easy to learn. Simple One-Touch operation; turn on and begin hunting! The buttons are the modes, the sensitivity, and the power on/off. Coin depth, your current mode, and discrimination (what you’ve most likely found) are also displayed. One gripe is that it couldn’t make up its mind on several targets. The indicator kept moving between 2 and 8 inches. Tones

I like custom mode on the ACE series because it gives ultimate control over searches and when the machine is turned off the setting is saved for next time. The buttons are clearly labelled Power, Discrimination, Mode, Sensitivity, Pinpoint, and Elimination (elim).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”. On paper, the Garrett Ace Apex makes a galant effort to keep up with the Minelab Vanquish 540 but is just slightly out gunned on a number of key features. Let’s have a look at a video by US detectorist “Treasure Outdoors” where he compares both detectors on a buried 14k gold ring. These tests do have their merits and are useful but aren’t conclusive.
