Garrett ACE 400i Metal Detector

Product Information

Both machines have Garrett’s clear and easy to understand display. There are three buttons which are mode, sensitivity, and power plus a large numeric target ID scale. The ACE 300 has a lesser adjustable frequency of around 8 kHz compared to the 10 Khz of the ACE 400. Due to ACE 400’s higher frequency, it is more suitable for identifying smaller items such as gold nuggets while the lower frequency of the 300 makes it better in penetrating deeper into the ground. Despite its affordable price tag, the ACE 400 does very well across the board in terms of performance. It has some unique features that are typically reserved for more expensive models. 1. Adjustable Operating Frequency The older ACE series detectors had a ground balance with just one factory pre-set configuration before the ACE 400. In other words, users were unable to change the ground balance and were forced to rely on the single setting available. You will understand what is Iron Audio for after reading its description in the user’s manual. The function allows easy defining of hidden iron rubbish. Iron Audio is actively used in devices of Garrett AT Gold and AT PRO product line.

Lower numbers (0-20): Typically ferrous metals, like iron and steel, which are considered trash or undesirable targets. Use the Iron Discrimination feature to filter out these low-value targets. Additionally, the AT Pro is completely submersible, allowing it to be used for underwater metal detecting to a depth of ten feet. On the ACE 400, just the coil is waterproof.

Features and Benefits of the Garrett ACE 400

The Garrett ACE 400 is not a beachgoer because it is not suited for usage in seawater. Initially, it will function perfectly on white, dry sand. Is The Garrett ACE Metal Detector a Gold Detector? The Garrett Ace 400 includes the Iron audio setting, which is unique to this Garrett model; it is not included with all metal detectors. This helps you to differentiate between different metals, such as coins and garbage, if you're looking for coins rather than trash. It's appropriate for anyone at any skill level, but it's geared toward intermediates. This technique is also applicable to every beginner who will be willing to read the manual. On the Garrett ACE 400 metal detector, the Digital Target ID system displays numbers on the LCD screen, representing the detected object’s conductivity. Ranging from 0 to 99, these numbers help users determine if an object is worth digging up. One feature of the Grattee ACE 400 that stands out from other ACE models is the Iron Audio system. Using Garrett’s proprietary technology, you can detect discriminated iron targets. Moreover, it allows you to adjust the range of the signal and select targets that have been obscured by iron. Waterproofing

There is an LCD display and six control buttons on the front panel of the control unit. One of the main complains of Garrett metal detectors users was that the old version of ACE didn’t have VDI with digits from 0 to 99 on the LCD display. In total, the ACE 400 has 8 different sensitivity levels to choose from. With a push of a button, you can adjust those levels as you work. This might be useful if you’re trying to find smaller items or objects with low conductivity levels. Upping the sensitivity can help you uncover treasures that are buried deeper into the ground. Metal detectors aren’t hard to find, but these essentials shouldn’t be overlooked when buying one. Weight and Length The only downside of Garrett Ace 300 is the lower frequency range. The highest frequency you can go to is 8 kHz, which is significantly lower than some other Garrett models. This can prove to be an issue if you’re after small objects or those with low conductivity levels.

Up to eight inches depth on dry sand and ‘normal’ soils you’ll find jewelry, relics, coins, and trash. The 0-99 scale is the same basic principle but provides a much more accurate representation of your target. Our Verdict: This Garrett metal detector is a great choice for anyone starting in metal detecting. Providing more than just the basics, this metal detector will give you a solid foundation for using a metal detector. We’d advise getting some accumulator batteries for Garrett ACE 400, which will significantly save money when using the device. The control unit
