Garrett Ace 400 Metal Detector

Product Information

The company produces several metal detectors in ACE product line. All of them are budget-friendly, though as the device index grows (from Ace 250 to ACE 400), the metal detector performance capabilities increase correspondingly.

This includes adjustable frequency levels, notch discrimination, multiple sensitivity settings, and more. All of those settings are important if you’re serious about metal prospecting. Being able to get them without breaking the bank is a huge plus. The Target ID takes up the majority of the control box and displays the conductivity metal you've discovered as well as the depth of your target. Digital Target ID Iron audio may not always be useful; it all depends on the terrain. You'll probably want to turn it off if there's a lot of iron trash around to prevent getting bombarded with signals.The three-part stem is sturdy but when the larger search coil is attached it can feel a little loose at the joins. No biggie – but worth noting. Conclusion 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. Apart from the iron audio function, Garrett has increased the number of iron discrimination segments by more than doubling the number in the ACE 250. With four segments, the detector is far better at distinguishing between junk iron and successful targets. Adjustable Frequency Additionally, the AT Pro is completely submersible, allowing it to be used for underwater metal detecting to a depth of ten feet. On the ACE 400, just the coil is waterproof.

Here is what we think sets the Garrett Ace 400 apart from the lower models in the line-up. This unit includes 8.5" x 11" DD PROformance™ submersible searchcoil. This is the same soil that ships with the Garrett AT Series. This search coil is an upgraded coil over the lower models in the line and is included with the Ace 400. You can also control the sensitivity and depth adjustments at the touch of a button. You will notice that through proper control of the 8 sensitivity depth adjustments you are able to maximize your finds and eliminate false signals. Includes 3 FREE Accessories* 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. 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.

Controls

The top of the ACE family, the 400 has new Iron Audio feature, a powerful DD coil, a higher frequency, and volume control headphones. Metal detectors aren’t hard to find, but these essentials shouldn’t be overlooked when buying one. Weight and Length Up to eight inches depth on dry sand and ‘normal’ soils you’ll find jewelry, relics, coins, and trash. In comparison to other metal detectors, Garrett’s ACE metal detectors have basic control boxes that are identical. Everything is labeled, and the display is clear – albeit you’ll have to squint in harsh sunshine. Mode, discrimination, and sensitivity are all important toggles. There are other controls for audio and frequency. Audio As an entry-level metal detector, the Garrett Ace 400 has a very decent all-around detection frequency of 10 kHz. This is significantly higher than the 6-7 kHz frequencies provided by the majority of the 400's rivals.
