Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Garrett Ace 250 Metal Detector
Customer Review: a younger mans opinion.
Summary: 5 Stars
OK right off the bat i'm 27. Just in case you wanted an older probably much wiser mans opinion. Or womans.
I've only been detecting for about a month now so my expertise in the field of MDing is limited however, I am a quick study when it comes to gadgets. Also i've spent about 100 hrs detecting in this past month.
Alright i originally bought a bounty hunter tracker IV with the 4 inch and 8 inch coils. After three days of using the bounty hunter IV i knew I needed another MD. Not because the tracker is any bad but i immediately wondered just how much better this could be with a few more features and a lil deeper detection?
So after 2 weeks of detecting pretty successfully with the bounty hunter tracker iv i received the ace 250 in the mail and headed straight to a park. i had been wanting to try a new one and one i already tried with the tracker iv. My first day with the ace was more of a learning day. Played with every single option. Hitting targets then toying around with sensitivity measuring the accuracy of the depth meter with my trowel (It was 95% accurate i would say with coins at gauging depth). Basically testing its detection power, learning what the tones mean/ could mean with different settings, finding out just how accurate the whole display is in general. The first day of learning probably picked me up about ten bucks in change in about an hr at a local playground i hadn't been to. Not bad i thought. I went to the park i already hit with the bounty hunter and picked up some more change and a cheap silver ring. So bout 12 bucks in change and a silver ring. Sweet. Unfortunately silver and coin is real easy. Any basic detector will find these things rather easily. What really separates the ace from the trk IV is the pinpointing feature. I read some people having problems with the pinpointing feature in article and reviews i had read prior to buying so i was skeptical of its actual usefulness. Fortunately for me i found the pinpointing feature to work flawlessly. You have to use your ears and play with the sensitivity. You can really start to visually shape the object with the sound. Plus its great if you don't have a handheld pinpointer. which i dont. and i probably won't get one until i feel like i've really gotten the basics down pat i guess. I think its easier in the long run to master one tool then trying to be average with two tools. If you really want to learn how to decide what to dig and what not to dig then you have to dig everything until you think you can see thru the ground with just sound. So its going to take me awhile personally.
Nutshell - if you think your really going to like this hobby and you like pushing buttons and playing with every feature then get the ace 250 or maybe even the 350 and you won't be sorry.
If you don't have the money right now and just can't wait maybe try the bounty hunter and go coin shootin' for a few weeks. Youll pick up enough in change to buy an ace sooner than you think.
tips for use- PLAY WITH ALL THE FEATURES AND SETTINGS. Thoroughly. Theres a decent amount when you combine sensitivity sound elimination etc.
Dont forget about your sensitivity. This thing is more powerful than your probably going to expect for your first detector. I wouldn't say using this detector would constitute carrying a shovel with you all the time but i can see regreting not bringing one a few times a year. I've been strictly trowel digging thus far. I can see how people would get discouraged quickly but then again i can't because you know its metal detecting. Nothing happens quickly. Theres no royal road to learning my friends.
