About this deal

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. When you deal with masking of the good targets by ferrous objects, you can use minimum Discrimination, just on the edge of rejecting. This way, you will be able to detect both good and bad targets, but you will distinguish between the two. As with the 150 model great reports of the battery life being very efficient, and the machine itself being very lightweight, the machine weighs 1.2Kg so you will manage to be on all day hunts without becoming too tired or achy. The machine size is adjustable from 42″ to 51″ kgs are all this detector weighs and that was great for Max who was able to swing it around for hours without getting tired. It has a padded armrest, padding around the grip and ergonomic design that keeps its components well balanced. PinPoint: Located below the sensitivity button used to pinpoint and locate targets more accurately.

It’s excellent that Garrett puts as much effort into their cheaper metal detectors. As far as I can tell the materials are the same as the more expensive Garrett 250. The search modes on both machines are about equal. The Vanquish has 4 built in search modes that include Coin, Relic, Jewellery and a Custom mode. It also has a zero discrimination button mode. The cover of the control panel is slid off to reveal the battery compartment, and it takes 4 AA batteries. 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? Minelab call their system “Multi IQ” and is now available in their latest range of machines called the Minelab Vanquish which start with the 340, then the 440 and top out at the 540.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 coil is waterproof which is essential here in the UK, but the control box is not. You’ll need to take care in the rain and be sure it’s not dropped in a lake or stream. It will find gold jewelry but not nuggets as these are found in highly mineralized soils and you’ll need a pulse induction machine to cope with those conditions. Coils The search coil is waterproof, and you can use it around water but only as far as a few inches deep. Meaning you can use it by the river bank or in shallow poodles. 10. Ground Balance

This equals the Ace Apex when you compare that the 6 search modes include a zero discrimination mode and a US Coin mode which non US detectorists won’t use. I know the detector cost quite a bit of money and it’s not a toy, so I’ll look after it and keep it safe in my wardrobe. I’m looking forward to going out in the summer when it is warm and finding more money or even some old coins from the Roman era. This was like multi frequency but was a digitised square wave technology rather than a VLF (Very Low Frequency) analogue technogy which was pioneered by scientist Bruce Candy. You can put headphones in it, but if you don’t it will still make a beeping noise so you can find treasure. Garrett has become synonymous for the philosophy for unparalleled customer satisfaction. The Garrett range has a wide selection of specialised detectors, allowing you to move to a more advanced detector as your skills progress. Since their foundation in 1964 Garret has been a market leader in metal detection.The ACE 250 comes with great features like notch discrimination, adjustable sensitivity levels, and multiple search modes. These are all features that are normally reserved for premium devices that come with a significantly higher price tag. Garrett ACE 300i Metal Detector with volume control Garrett ClearSound Easy Stow headphones, ACE control box cover, 7" x 10" coil cover. The Garrett ACE 300i is a new addition to the top-selling ACE range of machines. Garrett has placed big features into the ACE 300i—Digital Target ID, better metal detection abilities, a new audio system, and more—for a price that can’t be beaten!

Overall, the machine performed very well. It different metal targets and the pre-set modes with sensitivity avoided constant iron and junk signals. The ACE 300 is second in line to Garrett’s ACE throne, after the ACE 200 and beaten only by the ACE 400. Jewelry and coins have pre-determined processes of discrimination crafted for the search for such targets. Coin and jewelry modes exclude all ferrous signals and concentrate on the metals used to make coins and jewelry, such as gold, brass, copper, bronze, and silver. They are no-discrimination, jewelry, coin, relics, and custom. You just press the button and toggle to ‘coins’ for example. The Target ID function will then stay silent when you hit a target with a different conductivity to coins. The Garrett Ace 440i comes with a strap-on rain cover for the main unit, a camouflaged swag bag and a pair of cool Garrett-branded headphones to keep all that beeping from bothering others around you. It’s a fairly pricey model, but its practical, time-saving functions will save you a lot of unnecessary digging. Top premium buy.The display is graded on a scale of 0 to 99. While the number that appears whenever you meet a mark indicates which metal it is composed of, such as silver, bronze, or iron. Then there’s a light on the vertical side that shows how deep it’s buried. A good middle ground is the Garrett ACE 150. This piece of kit is a bank account-friendly metal detector from an excellent brand. It’s easy to get bogged down in specifics when you’re looking for the best metal detector, but don’t forget these basic bits of information. Weight and Length You’ll also need a trowel, small spade or specialised detector digging tool that can penetrate compact earth without making too big a hole. Digging with your hands is out of the question unless you’re on a beach above the wave-breaking line where the sand is soft enough. That said, the best tool to use on a beach is a colander-style sand scoop that you shake from side to side to release the sand and expose the goods. 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.
