Garrett Ace 250 Metal Detector

Product Information

Also secure the coil wire straight up the shaft for the first 8-10" or so then wind it up to the control box. However, this is actually an advantage, because preset modes are always easier to operate with, and easier to get used to. I found buried coins, an iron horseshoe, a broken earring, nails, and drink can tabs on my first two trips.

I took the new device in hand, switched STD on, selected the COIN mode, adjusted ground balance (it’s simple! However, while it is indeed simple to operate, a closer look makes it apparent that it took some engineering ingenuity to incorporate so many electronic abilities into this easy to use format. I’d definitely recommend it and when I uncover that hoard of Viking gold I’ll be sure to update you!You can see from it that Garrett Ace 300 has such a convenient function as Digital Target ID and camlocks.

And, of course, there is no sense in comparing the beginner-level detector with any expert-level machine. I messaged my local detectorists club on Facebook and will head out with them on weekends when I can. By the way, you will want to get a good set of headphones for this detector, as there is no volume control. The Garrett Ace 250 is a popular metal detector that is widely recognized for its user-friendly design and effectiveness for both beginners and intermediate users.

We provide only high-quality reviews to meet the needs of the metal detecting community for objective and fair information about machines, accessories, and brands. As the ID cursor stops over each one, a press of the ELIM pad will make the discrimination cursor either darken or disappear, thereby allowing the signal to be heard or not heard. your in a high trash area ,i got tired of hearing the sounds and thought my detecter was bad so i started digging every tone,and yes cans, pop tops,nails bottle tops foil from ciggerett packs,even wrappers that contained foil,you can reset your 250 by holding power button until you here it go beep beep,good luck and remember dig everything until u know your strong signals from trash,good luck. With it being a beginners metal detector for the smaller budget it would also be fair to say that other people have mentioned how the machine can become a little temperamental in highly mineralised conditions, giving of an increased amount of false signals.

The front of the screen now has a large digital target ID, using numbers plus target probability numbers suggesting ferrous/non ferrous conductivity. It’s a great feature on this beginner model as it tells you what you’ve most likely found instead of suggesting it on a 0-99 numerical ID scale found on pro models. The ease of use will help you to learn the detecting basics the quick way, allowing you to find lots of treasure without wasting too much time learning complicated settings. I’d recommend it for beginner adults, teens and older children who know their way around a games console. The device dissembles to fit into the bag, which also makes it a more portable option at the same time.Of course, you may hunt without this mode… But without it, you’ll spend more time on digging out small targets. The display also indicates coin depth, the level of sensitivity, and whichever mode you’ve selected. The top three for Mode, Sensitivity, and Discrimination save space in that separate minus and plus pads for each control are not needed.

Designed to be lightweight and easy to handle, the Ace 250 is suitable for extended use without causing fatigue.Compared to other metal detectors I’ve seen the buttons are few and simple which is great news for someone that’s easily confused like me. As many of you know by now, Garrett's Ace 250 is a metal detector that is very light on weight yet heavy on features and performance. Therefore, once there is a signal to investigate, it may be a good idea to pinpoint the exact location and then run “center over center” for a more accurate depth and target ID.
