Product Description
Introducing the ALL-NEW Garrett ACE series - not just a new line of detectors, but a new way of thinking. We've taken much of the leading edge technology and well thought-out features from our GTI and GTAx lines and packaged them into the most aggressive, rugged outdoor design in the industry. These attention-stealing detectors are turning heads and sending the competition back to the drawing board. But put aside their aggressive good looks and you'll see just how much amazing technology we've packed into these NEW machines. From custom notch discrimination, pinpointing, adjustable sensitivity and depth settings to the newest addition of the Performance coils series, the 6.5x9" ACE coil, these detectors will never stop impressing you - or finding treasure!

I've used various metal detectors off and on for many years. While I would certainly not classify myself as a hardcore-detecting hobbyist, I do try to do it properly when I participate.
One thing I have noticed is that there are a lot of metal-detecting "snobs" out there that love nothing more than telling you that while your detector is cute, it might as well be a giant turd with earphones compared to theirs! It's weird--I like this hobby because it's different / not mainstream, but when that stuff happens, it may as well be golf...
Anyway - I'm not into this hobby enough to spend $700 - $1500 on a detector, but I do want to get my moneys worth. There are A LOT of reviews on the web for this particular detector, and I would say that 1 in 10 were negative, with the rest being very positive. For $200, I gave it a shot. My findings:
The good:
When I received the device, I walked out into my backyard to play around a little, and immediately, with a resounding "DING", found a penny about 4 inches deep. It seems to really like coin shooting
The discrimination and sensitivity settings work well, and the various settings (coins, all metal, jewelry, etc...) work fairly well-- as far a coin shooting, the find usually is exactly what the detector says it is.
I've read many reviews slamming the "pinpoint" feature. Honestly, after I READ THE BOOK and played with it for a couple minutes, I found that it worked quite well.
It seems to work very well down to about 8". It may work well beyond that... I really haven't had the chance yet to hunt anywhere for really deep items.
It's very light, and the display crams a lot of usefull stuff into a small area without being confusing.... Read more ›

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.... Read more ›

I wanted to write this review for the beginners of this hobby. Just like me you have probably compared lots of models with lots of different prices . You wonder if you spend to little will you be buying rubbish > I bought the Garret Ace 250 and it is superb for the Price . On my first outing I went beach hunting and found many old coins and other items .Of course if you spend $1000 or more you will get a better Metal detector but that holds true for anything you buy. This machine works easily and effectively .The DVD makes it easy to setup and understand straight from the get go.
As a tip to the new hobbyist buy yourself a good pin-pointer,this holds true for any metal detector you buy, it just makes life much easier. Don't be fooled about metal detecting Headphones being superior or necessary ,they're not .A normal pair of over the ear headphones has a higher dynamic range than what any metal detector can produce , its a metal detector not an mp3 player ,it has very simple audio output circuitry.
Buy the Garret ,go brave and enjoy.

I received my ACE 250 from my daughter for my birthday almost 4 years ago.
After studying the manual and tinkering around with the descrimination adjustments and practicing on my own coins to become accustomed to the different sounds I was ready to find that burried "pot of gold" in my back yard. Instead, I found quite a few 'wheat' pennies, a couple silver mercury dimes and a 1963 silver quarter in good condition. All within a couple hours.
I was estatic and soon could tell from the different sounds what was junk and what was treasure.
Setting the descrimination elimination modes helps eliminate the foil from the pull tabs. I leave the pull tab setting on because the nickel and the pull tab must have similiar characteristics as I find an auful lot of nickels.
I have a place in Myrtle Beach and hit the beach a couple times a year. I can't tell how many hundreds of coins of all demoninations including the dollar ones I have found. My best finds so far were a gold heart with diamonds, a silver heart necklas, a gold toe ring, a silver bracelet, a silver ring and a couple gold/diamond earrings.
Keep in mind these beaches are searched regularly by the locals who live there year round using all kinds of metal detectors. The pin pointing feature is right on as is the depth feature. If the detector beeps there IS some kind of treasure hidden beneath it. The coin demonination scale is pretty accurate except for nickle and pull tab.
If someone plans to search along the shoreline (The search coil is waterproof)
I suggest setting the "sensitivy" mode to a very low setting avoiding picking up the salt mineralization in the sand and deffinately get earphones for those weaker signals.... Read more ›

Garret Ace 250 Metal Detector
I chose the Garret Ace 250 over the Ace 150 because of two features, the user selected search option and the zero in feature. I do wish it had a larger viewing screen though.

Retiredment gift for my husband. Has paid for itself already
His first detector. He found the septic tank input spot which saved us a lot of $$ vs having the company locate the opening. Also found 55 cents on our property the first day. Read more
