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 400 is the top of Garrett’s ACE range, above the ACE 200 and ACE 300. Its aimed at beginner to mid-level and occasional weekend detectorists. Went out again with the Garret Ace 400i. Was on top of a hill and the wind was cold at 08.30 am but the sun was shining and the views were spectacular and not far from me were 5 Leverets and it was a delight watching them play together. The ground was baked hard and very flinty and finds were difficult to extract. 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.

Giving you a much more accurate indication of what the target is compared to its Ace predecessors. In my opinion, this is a god send and is easy as accurate as detectors 2 x the cost.

Metal detectors aren’t hard to find, but these essentials shouldn’t be overlooked when buying one. Weight and Length Unfortunately, the ACE 400 is not made for saltwater use. It’s not protected from oxidation caused by saltwater. Plus, there is no ground balance feature to overcome mineralization issues. 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. I have yet to encounter any falsing, and if that happens and the handbook explains just reduce the sensitivity down a notch or two to eliminate it. Positive signals can be confirmed by comparing one signal and then turning 90 degrees. Diggable signals can be confirmed by using the iron Audio mode which will give you a spitting signal if it encounters iron. The Garrett Ace 300i features a new digital target ID from 0 to 99, this scale offers visual target information.The Garrett Ace 400i takes the standard design you’ve likely already seen in the many other Garrett Ace models although the cross-shaped coil is something new to this model. The shaft arm also features extra padding for a more comfortable grip and a Velcro strap so you can more easily carry with you when not in use. Up to eight inches depth on dry sand and ‘normal’ soils you’ll find jewelry, relics, coins, and trash. The cover of the control panel is slid off to reveal the battery compartment, and it takes 4 AA batteries.

I mentioned at the start there was an iron audio button on the control box. This is an upgrade on the 350 and allows you to hear certain iron targets depending on your discrimination. 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.Our Verdict: This Garrett metal detector is a great choice for anyone starting in metal detecting. Providing more than just the basics, this metal detector will give you a solid foundation for using a metal detector. Firstly the freshly ploughed land was a nightmare to walk on- Each had been ploughed to a height of over 12 inches and was hard going, then afterwards to some pasture and the weather was fair/sunny at times and also a little chilly. 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. A pendant was found and it is gold/coperish in colour but it has a lot of crud on it and is difficult to remove.
