Garrett Ace 400 Metal Detector Review

March 31, 2020 By admin

Garrett is the name known to every metal detector enthusiast, and why not? It has been known for producing the best quality metal detectors. It promises to provide you with the best quality and options according to the situation provided. With Garrett, it is guaranteed that the spending every penny is going to be worth it.

With Garrett, you will not have to worry about ending up with more trash rather than treasure. It offers all the best features like iron audio, digital target ID, adjustable frequency. For increasing the stability levels and extra cam, locks are also provided. If you have previously used the older versions like ACE 350, you will be more than happy in using Garrett Ace 400. In easy words, Garrett Ace 400 is the more enhanced and better version of ACE 350.

Let’s have a look at deeper details so that you can make an informed decision. 

Design and Appearance

While choosing a metal detector, your main focus is going to be in the features and performance. What most people neglect are appearance and design. For me, the design is as important as any other feature. If you are not comfortable using the machine, you will not be able to enjoy the whole experience. Thus, it will result is you getting easily tired and losing all interest. 

As compared to the previous versions of Garrett Metal Detectors, this one is comparatively lightweight. It weighs 2.9lbs (1.3kgs). Even if you plan to metal hunt all day long, you will not feel tired. While designing this product, your ease and comfort have been put forth to be the first priority, which is why it has an adjustable stem. You can adjust the stem up to 40″ to 53″.  You can easily adjust it according to your height and use it according to your desire. For me, the plus point is that it offers more stability as compared to the previous versions. It has a separate camera stand, which adds up to the stability.

Not that the appearance and the color of the device hold any importance, but there are some people who give special importance to the appearance. The outer body is made from a bright yellow color. Even though I do not appreciate such radiant colors, but if we look at the positive side, you easily spot it from a distance. So, no more worrying about it getting misplaced. Do not worry, it is not unattractive, but for some people, it might not be according to their taste.

If we talk about the previous versions, they were not stable enough. Due to which most of the people felt uncomfortable. Compared to that, Garrett Ace 400 Metal Detector is far more comfortable. It has cam locks available. It ensures that the detector feels more stable throughout the swing. If you still feel that the coil is unstable, try to change the length of the search coil.

Another important thing is the battery life. For me, it is the most vital thing. In my opinion, the battery should last at least throughout the day. One cannot go through the pain of charging it multiple times while hunting. Thankfully, Garrett Ace 400 Metal Detector has four AA batteries, which provide around 25-hours of search time.

Other than that, the frequency adjustment option is a mentionable option as well. You can adjust the frequency according to your needs, especially when the frequencies are colliding with other metal detectors. This normally happens when you are searching in the form of groups, and another person is using the same metal detector.

Important features of Garrett Ace 400 Metal Detector

  • Digital Target ID

target id garrett ace 400

Normally, Garrett users do not have any complaints. Still, in the previous versions, it was notified by many users that not having the Digital ID feature makes things difficult for them. In Garrett Ace, 400 digital target ID is present. The numeric numbers are shown from 0—99 on the screen. This feature comes in handy when you are trying to find a specific type of metal. You just have got to enter the metal ID in the system, and rest will automatically be done by it. The only problem you are going to face is that the segment approach is that it’s too broad in its metal identification. To overcome this problem, the 0-99 scale is used. Using it, you only have got to enter the specific ID and your work in done.

In the previous versions, the metal detector was only able to identify whether metal coins the present in the ground or not. But with Garrett Ace 400, you will be able to identify whether the quarter is silver or clad and if a penny is copper or clad.

  • Distinctive audio features

While buying a metal detector, audio features are the last things that are on the mind of a new buyer. In my experience, audio features are extremely important. As you already know, Garrett Ace 400 comes with all the best features, and when it comes to audio features, it definitely has to offer something amazing. It has a three-tone audio system. If we talk about it in simple words, it emits three different tones whenever metal is detected. Previously, the problem was that it was identified that the metal is detected, but there was no indication about the type of metal. This problem has been eradicated in Garrett Ace 400.

If metal is detected with higher conductivity, a high-pitched, loud tone is generated. If the medium or lower-pitched sound is produced, it means that metal with low conductivity has been detected. It also comes with “Pulse-Width Modulation” audio. This technique has correctly been used in newer versions of metal detectors. This is used to enhance the audio features. It produces high pitched and clear noise so that the metal identification is easy for newbies as well.

  • Iron Audio system       

You must have already heard about the audio discrimination system. But the previous technologies were only able to discriminate between different types of metal. Garrett Ace 400 Metal Detector comes with the most amazing technology. It has been able to differentiate between different types of iron targets. Sounds amazing, no? During all my metal hunting years, the main problem was that the metal detector only used to differentiate between different types of metal due to which it was hard to hit specific targets hard. The best part about this particular technology is that it helps you in eliminating the chances of getting the ghost signals.

The intensity of the signal’s changes according to the target it is hitting. For example, if you hit a small target, a very low-frequency sound will be heard. When the target is large, the sound will be quite audible and distinctive. This approach is extremely helpful when you are surrounded by trash. It will save you from unwanted digging. You only have got to dig when the sound is loud, audible, and clear.

Although iron audio has proven to be extremely helpful to me at times, there were situations when I had to turn it off. Mainly when a lot of iron trash surrounded me, it would start bombarding with signals. It is only helpful in situations where the trash quantity is much less. 

Apart from that, it has another fantastic feature. The discriminative iron segments are increased, which helps in better detection. Now four segments are used due to which performance is improved. The detector can now easily discriminate between trash and actual iron deposits.

  • 12 separate search modes

If you have been doing metal searching for a while, you must be aware of the importance of the search modes. There is no denying the fact that they help in enhancing the performance and making the search process much easier for you. Garrett Ace 400 Metal Detector has 12 notches used for discrimination. Selecting these modes is not a problem; they are displayed on the screen. There are separate segments available for each option. In front of each segment, a small description is available, which shows an item in each segment is likely to be. By selecting these segments, you can tell the metal detector to ignore the undesired items. In the Garrett Ace 400 Metal Detector, five separate modes are available. If you are a beginner, it is highly recommended to start by choosing the most well-suited option for you. Manually, adjusting frequencies can also work, but in the beginning, it is always better; it takes baby steps. 

There are five basic modes.

Zero discrimination

As per it is pretty clear from the name, this mode is designed to detect anything, which is metal without any discrimination. You will notice that there is no separate segment available for this model. If you are interested in finding things without knowing about the metal type, just turn this mode on, and you are good to go. 

  • Coins

As per coins are pretty small items, there are good chances of finding trash with it. This mode will help you in eliminating trash, pull tabs, and foil. It will be able to detect large-sized jewelry, and if you are looking for medium-sized jewelry, there are chances you are going to miss it while using this mode.     

  • Jewelry

This is the best mode if you are specifically looking for jewelry items. All the trash items will be ignored. The main focus will be on bracelets, rings, and lockets.

  • Relics

This mode is the opposite of the jewelry mode. It will the relics mode eliminates smaller iron items while detecting potentially lower conductivity targets.

  • Custom

If you like to do things in your own way, Garrett Ace 400 Metal Detector lets you set the frequency in your own way. There are accept and reject buttons available. You can use this eliminate segments you don’t want to detect. This mode is the reason why Garrett Ace 400 Metal Detector has received so much attention and appreciation from the users. It has increased the versatility and made it easier to use. 

In the beginning, it might be a little tricky to adjust the settings according to your desire. But when you get your hands on it, the whole process will become much easier for you. Here is a little example for you. Imagine you are looking for silver coins, just eliminate the copper and zinc segments, and you are good to go. 

Waterproof search coil

 Garrett Ace 400 Metal Detector is well known for its stability, ground balance, sensitivity, and depth. The standard package has an 8.5″ x 11″ DD search coil. There are several additional coils available as well. Examples include a Super Sniper 4.5″ search coil, 5″ x 8″ DD coil, and a 9″ x 12″ PROformance coil.

Ground Balance

Even though Garrett Ace 400 Metal Detector is almost perfect when it comes to features, but unfortunately, it has a small set back. You cannot set the ground balance manually. Although the factory setting is pretty amazing, some people prefer to set it according to their requirements. If you are a beginner, it is not going to be an issue. Even if you get your hands on a metal detector that offers manual ground balance settings, it is recommended to go with the factory settings in the beginning.  

Learning to do perfect ground balancing settings is truly an art. So, if you are not an enthusiast, this is one less thing to worry about. If you are looking for searching in high mineralized places, it is recommended to look for a metal detector that has manual ground balancing settings. In places like beaches, which have wet sand, Garrett Ace 400 Metal Detector will not be able to provide its 100%.

Manual ground balancing is available in rather expensive and latest versions of metal detectors. With this price range, you will not be able to enjoy this feature.

Performance

As a beginner, people are concerned about whether they will be able to use it easily or not. The best part is that while using Garrett Ace 400, you do not have to worry about this problem. It is extremely easy to understand. A clear description is written. Even if you are still confused about using it, go through the manual thoroughly, and you are good to go. There is no need to memorize anything. 

If we talk specifically about the performance, it is undeniably good. Even though the device words perfect in every condition, but you can set the sensitivity levels according to your desire. But even when the sensitivity levels are set to low, it will be able to produce amazing results. 

If you love to collect coins, you will be amazed to know that it picks out the deepest buried coins in no time. For different metal, the different audio system is installed. For coins, a bell tone is used.

The most amazing thing which I have observed is that by using the Garrett Ace 400 Metal Detector, you can get so much done in much less time. Previously, metal detectors were prone to produce false alarms, and thus half of the day was wasted in digging out the trash. Garrett Ace 400 has proven to be amazing when it comes to detecting trash.

Control panel and Display

garrett ace 400 display

Easy to use, and the handy control panel is the first choice of every user. Garrett has been known for producing a user-friendly control panel. If you have used Garrett metal detectors in the past, you must be aware of the control panel and the Display. One thing which I have liked the most is that the user interface i.e., control panel, has not been changed a lot as compared to the previous options. All the major brands tend to keep the Display the same in all the improved versions to become the user’s confidant. To be honest, I, too, find it hard adjusting to the new display unit and learning from scratch to use the control panel. So, it is safe to say that Garrett Ace 400 Metal Detector saves you from all this pain and offers you clear and straightforward to use.

Garrett has tried to make things as simple for you as possible. With every button on the control panel, the name is mentioned. If you haven’t used a metal detector in the past, don’t worry, it will not be a problem for you. Everything is written in bold, clear words. After exploring it for a while, you will notice that clear visual aid and information are provided, like expanded Target ID Legend with coin denominations. 

The only problem is that when you are out in the field, it is hard to read the printed legends. It is a healthy practice to do your homework beforehand and do your research on the field you will be working on and the modes you will be using. When out in the field, it will be hard for you to see the legends. You will only be able to see the target ID, which is the major thing you will be using.

Price

Price! The first and most important question comes into every buyer’s mind. Well, Garrett Ace 400 comes under the category of affordable metal detector. You will be able to grab your hands-on outstanding performance and features at just $400.

Cam locks and adjustable frequencies

Garrett Ace 400 has amazing stability and balance. The addition of cam locks achieves it. Camlocks are a simple, plastic locking mechanism that adds strength and stability to your detector. The balance will not get compromised while you are swinging the metal detector. 

Normally metal detectors have three pieces. No matter how stable the metal detector is, the connecting points of these pieces can always cause disbalance. The basic purpose of these cam locks is that it tightens up those joints and makes one solid piece.

Apart from that, you can adjust the frequency of your metal detector manually. Normally, the single frequency of the VLF machine is broadcasting at 10 kHz. But there is a time where it is important to lower the frequency. Especially when you are group hunting, power lines, and other electrical interference such as WIFI signals can also make a metal detector go crazy. During the normal hunting spree, you will not feel the need to change the frequency, and it will work just fine.

Comparison with other metal detectors

There are many names and brands that claim to provide you with the best metal detector. But I have a firm belief that Garrett metal detectors are far better than any other leading name. Especially when it comes to an entry-level metal detector. Each product is extremely affordable as well as it offers the best performance.

Garrett ACE 400 Vs. ACE 200 and ACE 300

The previous versions Garrett ACE 200 and Garrett ACE 300 are were amazing as well. Garrett ACE 200 was a basic metal detector that was specifically designed for beginners. It was known to be an all-rounder. Garrett ACE 300 came with much better options and improvements. The most noticeable feature was the addition of two new search modes. It helped in improving performance. 

Garrett ACE 400 is the combination of the previous versions and by far the most in-demand metal detector. All the features which were included in Garrett ACE 300 are included in it. In order to make the searching experience amazing for you, additional features have been launched as well, like new Iron Audio feature, a powerful DD search coil, higher frequency, and volume control headphones. 

ACE 400 Vs. AT Pro

Putting the personal preferences aside, AT ProPro is far better than ACE 400. We all know that All Terrain series takes the top position when it comes to metal detectors. Even though the performance is equally good, but if we compare the sensitivity levels, AT ProPro is far more sensitive to smaller objects. Plus, the recovery time is good, which means that it can easily separate from the closer targets. 

Even though Garrett 400 is waterproof, but it does not mean that it can be submerged in water. AT ProPro has this advantage, it is submersible to a depth of 10 feet. If you want to do underwater hunting, you will be able to do it with no problem. So, one can easily say that it is a two in one metal detector. 

Another noticeable feature is the ground balance. If you are looking forward to searching in the places where there is high mineralization, it is better to get AT ProPro. It has both manual and automatic ground balance, which means that it can produce better results even in harsh conditions.

FAQ 

What accessories are included?
Well, when I am about to buy something, this is the first question which comes in my mind too. As per, it is designed for beginners, the accessories available with it are also pretty simple like easy-stow headphones (including volume control), a coil cover, ACE cover-up and manual. Sometimes additional things are also included, but it mostly depends on the retailer from whom you are getting your things from. If you are lucky enough, you can get your hands on some extra coils. But to be honest, that only happens once in a blue moon. Otherwise, you will only get covers. 
Spoiler title
If you are looking to work in a wet environment, it will work as per the coil is waterproof. By wet environment, I only mean the early morning grass, which has dew on it. It’s not like you can search in the rain as per the control center is not waterproof. You can search on the edge of lakes, streams, or creeks. DO NOT submerge it in water. Even a small splash on the control box can cause permanent damage.
Can I use it on a beach?

As I mentioned earlier, this device is not suitable for use in the high mineralized environment. Usually, when the beach sand is wet, it can lead to false positives. 

If you are looking forward to going for only dry sand beach hunting, it can be perfect for you. Just keep in mind it is not designed for wet environments, so try to keep away from water. 

What is the ACE 400i?

While searching for Garrett Ace 400 Metal Detector, you must have come across this name. It used to confuse me in the beginning as well, but then I came to know that these two basically have got to a major difference. The 400i is the European version of the ACE 400. The only difference is the ‘iron discrimination’ feature as we all know that the European sand has more deposits of iron as compared to other areas, which is why metal detection can sometimes be challenging.

Where is the Garrett ACE 400 for sale?

As we all know, Garrett is a pretty well-known brand. You will not have any problem finding them in stores. You can easily spot them in any hardware store. If you are not a big fan of going to stores, you can always order them from online stores. Amazon delivers them all across the world. If you are not in a hurry to buy it, I would recommend waiting for a good deal to come up. This way, you will be able to save some bucks.

If you are looking for secondhand stuff, eBay and Craigslist are the most trusted sites. I would recommend thoroughly check the whole product and test run it before buying it. Never make a hurried decision. If you are using the metal detector for the first time, make sure to read the manual. It is always better to ask someone for assistance. YouTube videos are a big help, as well. Before you go out and start hunting in an open field, do some test runs in your back yard.

Pros and Cons of Garrett ACE 400

Final Verdict

If you have been searching for metal detectors for a while, Garrett is the name you must have seen in every list. When it comes to the manufacturing of perfect metal detectors, Garrett is the name that comes to our mind. They have managed to produce affordable metal detectors without compromising on the performance. With every edition, the number of features has been increased and improved. 

If you do metal detection as a hobby and like to swing metal detector for hours for finding coins, relics, or jewelry, I am sure this is the right option for you. These are extremely lightweight. You will not get tired even after using them all day long. As per this, one is an entry-level model, so not expect it to do military level detection. It is specifically designed for beginners, children, and people who like to swing it around as a hobby. But do not get me wrong; the features it provides are enough to do some serious metal detection.

It has a 24 months warranty, more than any other brand will offer you. They have probably covered everything under warranty, but it is recommended to check the policy before you start using it recklessly. The company will not cover any physical damage.

Even though this device is capable of producing perfect results, but not have a manual ground balance is the biggest drawback for me. If you are looking forward to work in dry and low mineralized areas, it will work just fine. But it is definitely not recommended for high mineralized regions. The signals will get all jumbled up, and desired results will not be produced. Try to keep away from beaches and wet sand.

Features of Garrett AT Pro 

Let’s have a look at the features of Garrett AT Pro and learn more about the actual performance of this product and provide you full Garrett AT Pro review. 

  • Look & Feel – The Design of Garret AT Pro

Garrett AT Pro design

Garrett AT Pro is a VLF metal detector meaning it is an all-rounder when it comes to detecting metals. It uses four double-A batteries and features a nice padded armrest. The “AT” of Garrett AT Pro means “All Terrain,” which means it can be used on any terrain. The machine is quite durable and has excellent exterior. The machine requires very little maintenance and can handle almost anything you throw at it, quite sturdy.

The machine is quite lightweight, only weighs 3.03 lbs, meaning you can use it for longer durations without getting tired. 

  • Waterproof design

garrett at pro waterproof

This Garrett AT Pro Metal Detector Review will help you thoroughly analyze the pros and cons of Garret AT Pro. It is a great advantage that you can use Garrett AT Pro for up to 10 feet underwater. It is good for hunting in all shallow waters like rivers, creeks, lakes and can be even used in sea.

Mostly detectors only have a waterproof coil, but Garrett AT Pro is completely submersible in water. 

  • Detectable items

You can find anything ranging from jewelry, coins, or relics with Garret AT Pro; however, the performance with gold nuggets is spectacular due to its 15kHz frequency and unique ability for ground balance. 

An 8.5” x 11” DD performance coil comes with Garrett AT Pro. This coil is excellent for target separation. AT Pro also can accommodate other coils like a sniper coil and concentric coil.

Frequency 

It features a 15kHz frequency, which is higher than any other VLF detectors at this price. Garrett AT Pro, due to its higher frequency, is good at detecting even the smallest targets. Its frequency is also suitable for finding gold. AT Pro is a single frequency detector, you can make minor adjustments to it, but it is so not a multi-frequency detector. 

Pro Mode Audio 

Garrett AT PRO MODE AUDIO

Garrett AT Pro for sale usually contains two audio modes, including standard and pro audio mode. Both modes cab further be used with three search modes but offer different audio experience with mode modes. 

Standard mode is just perfect for the beginner, and three audio tones decipher the metal conductivity. The pro mode, however, offers more information about the depth of the target and its composition. The discriminations modes are still the same, but faint tones indicate the targets in-depth with addition snapping as per the composition. 

Standard mode is useful, but you have to try the pro mode once you are more comfortable with this metal detector. 

Digital Target ID

Garrett AT Pro Digital Target ID

The AT pro features a large target ID right in the center of the screen. This offers you the best and accurate information regarding the target composition, and it is better than the category read-out. Target ID is great for finding the metal type of target. The target ID of Garrett AT Pro is quite efficient, mainly when the ground balance is proper.

Notch Discrimination 

There is a notch discrimination feature which can find objects with conductivities that are above the iron region, about 12 discrimination segments which can be either rejected or accepted. Notch feature is entirely custom, but you can ignore it in zero search mode. Zero modes aren’t all-metal mode, but it can perform a quite similar role.

There is another COIN mode, which means that all metals like iron or foil have been already notched out, so you can find coins easily. 

The current target can also be eliminated from the discrimination pattern using the ELIMINATE button. You can eliminate any item that is giving constant signals, but you are sure that it is trash; it will be rejected with the eliminate button. 

You have to be a little careful using the discriminations. Real targets can be missed out if they are of the same size and composition, so be careful using too much of this feature.

Iron Discrimination

Garrett AT Pro Iron Discrimination

There are about 40 segments for iron discrimination, and you can adjust the settings you will be able to exclude all the ferrous targets or adjust the discrimination depending upon what you are trying to find. 

You can set iron discrimination values to probably a higher value so you can ignore junk and nails (set the value between 30-35). But you can lower these values if you are searching for relics. 

Ground Balance

Garrett AT Pro Ground Balance

AT pro features automatic and manual ground balance. This helps you in the ground balance as per the mineralization in the soil, that is why this detector can find targets in even highly mineralized grounds like saltwater. AT Pro is so efficient that it can cut out the excessive chatter caused by mineralization in the ground.

The automatic ground balancing function is quite great because you have to push the “GND BAL” button on any ground, and the machine will calibrate as per the ground condition. Manual ground balance settings are available if you ever need them. 

Display & control panel

AT Pro’s control panel is quite easy to understand and use even in the field. The top of the control panel features a legend that shows potential target categories. It is nice to know what the target will most likely be but do rely on the target ID and audio more than this feature. 

When you are creating custom discrimination patterns, you will find the legend feature more useful. You can use the “Notch Disc” button to control what you dig and accept or reject segments.

The display is not very great because there is no backlight, no threshold adjustment, and there is also no option for volume control — all minor complaints.

All these features make it one of the best metal detectors for 2020.

Final Words

Garrett AT Pro Metal Detector for sale is quite an easy find on Amazon.com. It is one of the best Garrett Metal Detectors you can buy in 2020. The price is around $600. It is a great device, excellent for finding all kinds of metals.

Garrett Ace 250 Metal Detector Review

October 11, 2019 By admin

Garrett Ace 250 metal detector

Garrett Ace 250 was released in 2005, and even in 2019, it is considered one of the best metal detectors all over the world. People who have used Garrett Ace 250 can hardly choose any other metal detector because of its reliability and ease in use. There is no way anyone would be willing to give up Garrett Ace 250 for any other metal detector. 

It is a well-designed metal detector which very well serves its purpose and ensures the accuracy of results for its users. The great features it contains will help anyone in finding the treasures or hunting endeavors in general. The user-friendly and easy to read screen helps user to interact with Garrett Ace 250 easily. It contains a good metal detector coil, no ground balance as well as no VDI while the signal can be a bit loud and there’s no way of customizing it. However, the most crucial feature of a metal detector is its ability to find stuff. You can quickly notice that Ace 250 comes at such a low price while the one you buy for the cost of 10 Ace 250s will also serve you the same purpose. 

Let’s have a look at some of the fantastic features that Garret Ace 250 offers to the users. 

Features

Garrett Ace 250 has a lot of features that are highly beneficial for users. 

  • Mode 

There are multiple modes for the convenience of users that will prove their worth to users in a lot of ways. Hunting for metals will be a lot easier with smart modes of Ace 250. This metal detector has features that stand out from the crowd. It is excellent for any hunter who is looking for an efficient metal detector. There are four audio beeps, one of which is the bell tone, and it alarms the user. When the detector spots any metal while the other three basic sound beeps occur when the user moves the Ace 250 over or around the target. 

There are five choices for detecting modes.

  • All metal
  • Relic
  • Coins
  • Jewelry 
  • Custom mode: The settings for custom modes can be saved and are fully accessible even when the tool is restarted. (some of the most modern metal detectors are unable to save the settings of custom modes after being restarted)

This metal detector has eight levels of sensitivity as well as five different patterns for discrimination and five fully customizable notchings. For hunters doing a blanket scan over the piece of land might not be able to find it useful but the extra confirmation might be everything for coin shooters. 

  • Advanced in detection 

This is an excellent tool for hunters, and it is quite easy to use, it can even easily find metal from a pile of trash. If the metal is mixed in the garbage, you will still be able to identify the coin and metal differently. The screen will also help you to confirm results as it is quite easy to read. 

  • Detection of depth 

You will find this device extremely useful even when it comes to the bottom. It has a great facility that will tell you how much you have to dig for finding the metal. It can be extremely frustrating for hunters not to know how much to dig exactly for reaching the metal. The depth indicator in Ace 250 will assist you in understanding how much you have to dig to find the metal underground. The screen contains the ID lines which graphically represent the targets at the top with clear and thick has marks which will quickly tell you an excellent overview of your target in one glance. While the depth indicator is provided on the left side of the screen will precisely tell you about the depth of your target. It can detect the metals that are about 8 inches deep.

Benefits 

There are quite a lot of pros when it comes to Garrett Ace 250. Let’s have a look at some of them.
