It has added grip padding and elbows support padding which adds to the comfort. I messaged my local detectorists club on Facebook and will head out with them on weekends when I can. I had positive responses when I said I was using a Garrett ACE 250, so the pose value is there if you worry about that kind of thing.

Once I’d hit the squealing it was a case of pressing the ‘down’ button until it stopped. This gave me the highest sensitivity without interference. If you want a machine that is simple to use but has some great pro features then the Euro Ace comes highly recommended from detectorists all over Europe.

Mode we’ll talk about below and sensitivity, well, that helps you hone in on targets with more accuracy on good hunting ground. If you’re on mineralized ground, turn that sensitivity down or it’ll be falsing and sending out squeals.
