Garrett Ace 250 Metal Detector

Product Information

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.

Garrett Ace 250 has been released in the distant 2005… Why Garrett Ace 250 is still considered as one of the best metal detectors even after almost 15 years? Of course, you may hunt without this mode… But without it, you’ll spend more time on digging out small targets. If you’ve previously bought a cheap machine and gotten discouraged by the constant bleeping and nothing to be found Garrett will change your mind. In areas where the trash was light, it was enjoyable to run the detector in All-Metal mode to hear the different audio tones and watch the Target ID.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. Pinpointing with the ACE 250 Pinpointing is one of the most important, but simple to learn, techniques you need when treasure hunting. The Ace 250 often includes a battery life indicator on the display, keeping users informed about the remaining battery power.

Even though one can appreciate this machine as an experienced detectorist, the real news is that it is an enormous breakthrough for the beginner. For example, I picked the coin pre-set which focused the controls on finding metals that coins are made from. Make sure the wire isn't wrapped so tight near the connector on the housing that it pulls on the connector with each sweep. Too much sensitivity will cause the machine to false, and also make the coil so sensitive, that the slightest jarr will cause falsing.

I hunted an afternoon without using any headsets, and I could easily hear the audio and distinguish the soft signals from the loud double beeps.

The control box and elbow rest are a pleasing yellow color, which contrasts strikingly with the black of the coil and rod. Then, in the course of time you will start seeing between the signals (their tone and indication) received from bottle caps and coins. The depth indicator has advanced since the 150 model, now adding an extra 2 inches on to the display. If you get confused with all the settings, the device can switch them back to the pre-set initial values. Fantastic machine for starters of metal detecting and also advanced users, this machine is easy to understand and also tweak the sensitivity to cut out the stuff you don’t want.Two years after I bought Garrett Ace 250, my first metal detector, I also purchased Minelab X-Terra 705, which I have eventually exchanged for Garrett AT Pro.
