Garrett 1138070 ACE 150 Metal Detector

Product Information

Sensitivity settings are a must-have when you’re searching for metals. Larger items will have no problem interacting with the electromagnetic waves the device produce. But what about smaller objects?

The machine is lightweight weighing just 1.27 Kgs! Making it a great detector to use all day long without causing any fatigue. It has added grip padding and elbows support padding which adds to the comfort.I used this by pressing the discrimination button and using the + and – arrows to adjust it. When I found a piece of drink can I pressed the elimination button to eliminate that metal. The LCD display has a battery indicator but unfortunately, it does not work for the 150 it was only ever added to the software ready for it’s successor the Garrett Ace 250 which is a shame. A display which shows the modes you have selected, a depth of target indicator which shows you roughly how deep your item is, and a sensitivity bar to show you how sensitive you have set the machine. A new powerful Double-D PROformance search coil has been added, which detectorists seem to really like, there are a lot of reports of it giving greater depth and performance.

The Ace 200 is not waterproof so don’t drop it in a river or let the control box get drenched in a storm. You should be wary of setting it down on wet grass too. 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 What I would suggest is to look into the Garrett Ace 400i model because it has a higher frequency for gold detection than this model.

The ACE 250 keeps things on the simpler side. It has a graphical target display, which uses 12 different segments of the conductivity scale. Just keep an eye out on the LCD screen as you prospect. The appropriate signal will light up to let you know what you’re looking at. 3. Submersible Coil The settings on the Garrett Ace 150 are very simple to understand and are self-explanatory. With just 3 buttons, Mode, Sensitivity and the power switch. It’s great to have choice over the machine and the sensitivity is an important feature, but I’d say it’s for when you’ve got more experience. Because the ground balance is automatically set, I was able to use the detector and raise its sensitivity until it was squealing like Beyonce. The Ace 150 and 250 sometimes struggled in highly mineralised soils, where as a lot of people have commented that the Euro Ace really excels in these conditions. Pro’s And Con’s Of The Garrett EuroAce
