Garrett Ace 300 Metal Detector

Product Information

Notch Discrimination – this feature allows to switch on or off certain pixels of Discrimination, thus making iron discrimination more accurate and controlled. The user decreases their risk of missing a good target by applying too powerful Discrimination But, if you plan to stay away from the coasts, this is a great unit for detectorists. It’s comfortable to carry and comes with pre-programmed modes you can use if you don’t want to go through the trouble of finding your own settings. You’ll be getting a highly-functional machine that’s really easy to use, even if you are the type who is often overwhelmed by technology. Ace 300 vs Garrett Ace 400 While pinpointing is now common in most metal detectors, it's still good to see Garrett have made it so simple to use. All you have to do to use the pinpointer is press the pinpointer button. The key is to try to keep your finger on the trigger once you've found your mark. This saves a lot of time spent digging for trash. And if you were wondering, gold would usually register between 40-60. Frequency The ACE 300 offers more “segments” of iron detection than previous models— twice as much as the ACE 250.

The unit takes 4 AA batteries, included. According to Garrett, the battery life of the ACE 300 is anywhere from 20-40 hours, depending on your settings and if you use headphones. Does it have a warranty?

Details

Additionally, the machine is known to give intermittent signals, which can make it difficult to identify targets. Garrett Treasure ACE 300 is the middle model within the ACE 200, 300, and 400 lineage, which means it is totally beginner-friendly, and yet it provides a little bit more than bare necessities needed for metal detecting. In fact, with it being a “switch on and go” machine, there are also some cool features that will definitely enhance the user experience, and make treasure hunting more productive. These features include: I’d recommend Garrett’s ACE 300 to beginners and mid-level detectorists who aren’t bothered about iron audio or searching in wet sand and just want a good quality reliable machine that won’t break the bank.

The one difference between this and the earlier ACE models is the new double D search coil addition!

Audio

Garrett ACE 300i Metal Detector with volume control Garrett ClearSound Easy Stow headphones, ACE control box cover, 7" x 10" coil cover. 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 Compared to the Ace 200, the Ace 300 offers two more search modes and enhanced features designed to help you find more treasure while metal detecting. A pinpointing mode helps you locate your treasure faster. In addition to headphones, the search coil cover and an environmental cover are included.

Depending on your budget, you could use the ACE 200, which is a more basic edition, or the ACE 400, which is more expensive.

I think fixed ground balancing is a good idea. It’s really intimidating in the early days and you’ll spend more time fiddling with the controls than experiencing the excitement of a treasure hunt.

This machine will also fit other coils in the ACE range such as the bigger 9 x 12-inch PROformance or the Super Sniper 4.5 inch coil. This information is then displayed on the screen, allowing the user to decide whether or not to dig for the target. Segment-based target ID is an essential component of metal detectors, and the Garrett ACE 300 Metal Detector is capable. If the ground balance was adjustable, I’d say this option would even be suitable for veteran detectorists. That being said, if you’re on a budget I think this model should still make your list. So, if you’re looking for a top-of-the-line metal detector, either the Garrett Ace 300 or Garrett Ace 400 would be a great option. But if you really want all the bells and whistles, then the Garrett Ace 400 is the way to go. What is the difference between Garrett 200 and 300?Giving you a much more accurate indication of what the target is compared to its Ace predecessors. In my opinion, this is a god send and is easy as accurate as detectors 2 x the cost. Does Garrett Ace 300 have adjustable ground balance function? No. The ground balance value is set by the manufacturer, therefore you won’t be able to adjust it as it can be done with metal detectors like AT Pro. For example, the difference between 3 kHz and 7,5 kHz gives just 7-10% of detection depth increase, and this is at almost more than doubled operating frequency. As I previously said, the Garrett ACE 300 is the follow-up to the Garrett ACE 250, which was eventually the best-selling metal detector ever, owing to its low price and ease of use. Building on the success of the ACE 250, the Garrett ACE 300 is one of the best metal detectors available. A variety of factors also influences the Digital Target ID, including the size and depth of the target object and its orientation in the ground.
