For the new metal detector fans, but also for the veterans, Garrett Ace 350 is a must-try. It is always mentioned in the passionate treasure hunter circles as a simple choice for an efficient, simple to use and versatile unit. It also comes at a great price which will pay off fast with the treasures you can find.
The Garrett Ace 350 is designed to be reliable in wet conditions and salty water, such as beaches or river shores. It has waterproof coils and you can go in shallow water with it without worries. Be careful though, you only want your coil underwater, as the body of the unit is not waterproof.
This is a unit that is easy to use, easy to learn on and is very accurate. You can begin your treasure hunting career on this one or just use it as another one of your units. I believe that it fills the needs of a hobbyist treasure hunter and a great metal detector to learn on when you are at the beginning.
The overall design is very pleasant, it has a yellow and black plastic carcass that looks sturdy and so far I didn’t have any issues, it is ergonomic and it has an attractive design. The LCD Display is big and clear and the buttons and controls are intuitive and easy to use. The unit comes with its own headphones, which are comfortable, eliminate the external sounds and give you a much better experience while hunting, since you can easily hear even the faintest signals. They are great for situations when you have to turn the sensitivity down (nearby power lines) or you don’t want to attract attention with load noises – this can be bothersome as this unit can be loud.
The volume for the headphones is adjustable you can easily control that with a switch on the cable of the headphones. The Garrett 350 model has great functions when it comes to identifying and locating a target, its discrimination and pinpoint functions are highly accurate and will help you find coins, rings or very small objects with great accuracy.
With all these great features, it definitely has a learning curve and it requires practice and dedication, but Garrett Ace is designed to help you and to make it as easy as possible to use all the great functions it can handle. You will receive an instructions DVD and a user manual and you can always take advantage of the unlimited online resources, as there are many treasure hunters who chose this model. Even without this access to all the information, it would be sufficient to take it out and play with it, explore and listen to it and eventually you’ll be able to differentiate a gold ring from analuminum pull-tab only by the sound of it.
You will definitely enjoy this machine, I warmly recommend it.
