Garrett Ace 250 Metal Detector

Product Information

It doesn't work well at all on wet salt beaches so if you hunt there you got to stay on the dry and turn it down to 2 notches or so. Garrett Ace 250 has a rather fragile elbow which is easy to break, if you bump it or it gets excessive pressure during transportation. The depth readings on the right of the screen function while one is hunting, rather than after Pinpoint is employed. I can only conclude that the detector has a quick recovery time, and that means good target separation— and that, in turn, means pulling more treasure out of the trash. I have used it with the sensitivity turned all the way up, all the way down, and everywhere in between and still get this issue.

This metal detector is a user-friendly one, so this is exactly what you need to make your first steps in this hobby. The control box and elbow rest are a pleasing yellow color, which contrasts strikingly with the black of the coil and rod.

Is it a great luck or a pay-off for using only one machine for many years and therefore knowing it very well? It makes the detector more visible on dark ground, and I won’t tread on the armrest while digging up a hole.

Surprisingly shallow targets were in abundance, and every detected target was a valuable 'keeper', so Galina and I did not have to waste time on figuring out what level of Discrimination or Sensitivity to use. The Ace 250 also comes with a graphic target ID cursor with 12 element GTA notch discrimination for much greater accuracy. Ace 250 is the one most often bought by newbies who are not yet aware of the performance nuances of metal detectors. If you are just becoming acquainted with the Ace 250, you will be stunned by the multitude of features and controls packed into it. The number of finds depends on a hunter: where you come to dig, how much time you are ready to spend digging etc.There is also a video of hunting with this machine; recovery speed test; video review: what I think of the Go-Find 20. However, if one gets to choose from the catalogue features, say, Fisher F22 should be better than Ace 250. The top three for Mode, Sensitivity, and Discrimination save space in that separate minus and plus pads for each control are not needed.
