Garrett ACE 400i Metal Detector

Product Information

New!Higher frequency (10 kHz) provides better sensitivity on low and medium-conductivity targets (i.e. gold, lead) consumer-grade technology is often VLF ( Very Low Frequency). This means the detector hastwo search coils: one that sends out a low-frequency wave into the soil and To celebrate Garretts 55th anniversary we are offering Garrett complete anniversary metal detecting kits which include a metal detector, pinpoint probe, find box, headphones and more, perfect as a gift for someone or to start you off in the hobby. Everyone seems to agree the Garrett ACE 400i really can do no wrong. This detector really is an improvement on all of its predecessors. In addition to having great sensitivity, users are also now able to distinguish between different types of iron. One of the major advantages is the price – for all the advanced features that you get, it really is somewhat of a bargain.

When you hit a target the ACE 400 will give one of three tones. What pitch tone you get depends on the conductivity of the metal.

What Will The ACE 400 Find?

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 modes I use most is Zero Discrimination (All metal) and custom as both modes cover my needs and these values are what I used during this review.

New Increased Iron Resolution which helps provide 3 x the iron resolution of the ace 250. Helping when you are in them iron laden and trashy areas. If you’re interested in searching for specific types of metals, the ACE 400 has you covered. It’s equipped with iron and notch discrimination. The iron discrimination feature works alongside the Iron Audio system to help you identify junk metals. You can choose to ignore those metals altogether so that you can focus on other items.

Garrett Ace 300i Appearance

This includes adjustable frequency levels, notch discrimination, multiple sensitivity settings, and more. All of those settings are important if you’re serious about metal prospecting. Being able to get them without breaking the bank is a huge plus. Garret has added digital target ID with numerical information to the ACE 400 which is a great move as the 350 didn’t have that level of tech. Includes revised Target ID legend and Mode/Discrimination patterns to better suit the search needs of international users. When you take a look at the ACE 400, you’ll notice that there’s a noticeable difference in build quality compared to some cheaper models out there. This detector is solid and well-made. The profile is simple, consisting of a base pole, a small control box, and a sizable coil. 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

It caters to those who want a reliable metal detector without breaking the bank. The 400 happens to be the premium option in the ACE line, giving you a lot more features to work with. PinPointing, again not something that the ace 150 included and in my eyes an absolute god send and time saver!Furthermore, the ACE 400 is designed with simplicity in mind. It’s easy to use, making the hobby even more accessible to the masses. Had a real sense of excitement where I dug up a clod of earth and found a ring of gold that was visible. Carefully peeling away the mud revealed the actual item, a screw bottle top. Oh well, the feeling was good while it lasted. Using several identification methods, this machine is capable of telling you where the item falls within the conductivity spectrum. The Digital Target ID system provides that information as a number between 0 and 99. This is one of the ways Garrett keeps the price down. It’s also why the ACE range is primarily aimed at beginners.

Operating at 10kHz frequency you will be provided with better sensitivity to low and medium conductivity targets such as gold and lead. With the detectors Frequency Adjust feature you can easily toggle between slight frequency shifts to help eliminate interference from other detectors or sources of power. If you owned one of the older Garrett Ace you would know that you needed a Garrett Pro Pointer without it you was there forever.The ACE 400 comes with an 8.5 x 11 inch DD PROformance search coil. It’s a great starting place with plenty of sensitivity. One of the things we like most about the Garrett ACE 400 is the control box. It offers tons of flexibility to give you the performance you’re after. However, it’s not complicated to use. The large LCD screen provides all the information you need, and the simple push buttons let you make adjustments on the fly. There are no complicated knobs or analog meters to worry about. As a result, the machine is easy to get the hang of regardless of your skill level. 3. Weather-Ready Extras In addition to the comfort factor, the other advantage with the ACE 400i is the weight. Weighing in at just 1.32 kg, you are definitely not going to get tired carrying this detector around. But, it is not recommended for kids, see the best metal detectors for kids here. It also has an adjustable length of 1.06 meters to 1.29 meters. Had a signal and digging down to around 24” found the biggest piece of lead I have ever dug up and it weighs 3.58Kg.
