Garrett Ace 250 Metal Detector

Product Information

Indeed, you are well documented and the Garrett 250 metal detector is a good all rounder and it’s really easy to start with it. All metal detectors should be run at a sensitivity level that allows the highest setting yet operates smoothly. By carefully paying attention to the audio signals (and the Upper Scale indication on the 250) you'll quickly become familiar with how your ACE pinpoints deep and shallow targets.

Keep off heavily mineralised ground and saltwater and use the sensitivity setting to help you out if it’s struggling. We used a reasonable minimum of Discrimination and set the Sensitivity level just a little below a 'stability point'. 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.

The pinpointer was delivered before 1pm the next day to an Argos Collection point as we were away on holiday detecting.

Detecting targets with the Ace-250 metal detector was also a 'no-brainer' for Galina because of the 2-tone audio identification: low-pitched tone for iron, and high-pitched tone for everything else. Starting in the Jewelry Mode at the next park, it didn't take me long to decide that digging pulltabs was no fun. And I felt being a little envious of her while remembering myself being a beginner and learning how to metal detect through digging up tons of rubbish for days. 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.

Even though one can appreciate this machine as an experienced detectorist, the real news is that it is an enormous breakthrough for the beginner. In every instance, though, the Ace 250 ran stable and smooth as long as I matched the sensitivity to the site. I never had to even make an X pattern over a target with my 250 , in pinpoint mode once I had the coil centered over the target ( PP button pushed in ) I just slowly bring the coil back toward me and when the intensity meter on the faceplate dropped off the target was 99% of the time right in front of the outer edge of the coil at the tip. And the most unpleasant thing is that it can’t be removed – one coil for term of life (metal detector life). These represent two top-of-theline features in that not only do you have the choice of various modes, but you can also save favorite settings in the Custom Mode.

You can also pin-point the exact position of your find so you don't have to dig a huge hole to find it! In addition, the Ace 250 has 3 different audio tones, where a low tone represents iron, a medium tone represents gold and a high tone represents silver. Most importantly, you only have to read the Garrett Ace 250 reviews below to confirm that it does what is most important…. My son was testing a Garrett ACE 150 and when we got closer than 5-6 metres our detectors started screaming at one another like two grumpy cats.Custom:- Set standard as the same as coin mode, but the user can programme custom settings using the elimination, and discrimination to select individual specifications. The ACE 250 is equipped with an electronic Pinpoint pushbutton that makes pinpointing more accurate. The Garrett Ace 250 metal detector has been described regularly as a great beginners metal detector, durable, lightweight, very simple to use and very affordable.
