Relic modekeeps the lower end of the conductivity scale making sure you don’t miss out on bronze, brass copper etc but discriminates iron. It features the forearm sponge padding which straps to your arm via the velcro straps and a comfortable padded sponge grip. The Garrett EuroAce control panel features just 6 buttons and has been kept simple enough for the complete novice to understand and use. The buttons are the following. If you or your children have just started their journey as a detectorist, the OMMO Metal Detector is your safe bet. It is easy to assemble and understand and has everything you need to get treasure hunting.

The Garrett machine comes with a 2-year warranty, and again they have created a great budget machine that seems to compete with metal detectors twice the price. This model is also armed with the Garrett Clearsound Easy Stow Headphones with an inline volume switch. The 400i comes out of the box in three separate parts with the coil, the straight shaft, and the s-shaft separate from one another. You will need no other tools than the ones provided with the metal detector to put it together. Even though this metal detector is quite affordable, it has many of the features found on professional devices, and also offers you ease of use. To start off, the Garrett Ace 150 has a large LCD screen that is easy to read in various environmental conditions. When enabled, it starts to flash indicating a discovery. For your convenience, the unit also makes a sound once it passes over metal objects, so you can't miss valuable finds.

It offers fantastic value for money if you are working with a budget and as I said holds its money pretty well so if you wanted to sell and upgrade you won’t lose a lot. It has all of the features and power you’re going to need. Often said that the ACE 250 is the most popular Garrett metal detector I do believe now due to price decreases that the Euro Ace sells more frequently.

The one difference between this and the earlier ACE models is the new double D search coil addition! A new powerful Double-D PROformance search coil has been added, which detectorists seem to really like, there are a lot of reports of it giving greater depth and performance. The Coins mode is designed to detect coins and allows you to select several types of metal depending on what coins, in particular, you're looking for. Just like the Jewellery mode, this one doesn't react to the trash and other stuff that you may run into while coin hunting, providing highly accurate results. Garrett has become synonymous for the philosophy for unparalleled customer satisfaction. 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. Custom mode is used to store your own personal discrimination settings, factory preset it is the same as coin mode, but you can edit this as you see fit.

In terms of the design, the Garrett ACE 400i looks a lot like the other ACE models with the exception of a cross-shaped coil. This metal detector consists of a shaft, a PRO Performance 8.5″ x 11” DD coil, and a 400i control box. The shaft ends in a comfortable arm rest that comes equipped with an adjustable Velcro strap. There is also a coil cover available which can be snapped on with ease. Custom:- Set standard as the same as coin mode, but the user can programme custom settings using the elimination, and discrimination to selectindividual specifications.

While the depth detection isn’t as impressive as some of the other features, an average detection rate of 8-inches is still a good level of performance for a metal detector, although this may be less common depending on the ground conditions. Coins modediscriminates iron, foil, ring pulls (be careful with this as hammered silvered coins can show as ring pulls)designed for coin shooting.Even with the price of this machine, it seems Garrett has not cut corners with comfort, the padding and grip are very comfortable. There are many covers available for a small cost for the control panel housing, you could even wrap in clingfilm if you were desperate which is something I did when I first started out. Garrett Euro Ace Coil upgrades Unlike the previous models of the Garrett ACE, this new addition lets the user control and fine tune the Iron Discrimination levels. The next group of aspects for you to consider includes device operation modes and controls. For example, different configuration profiles of a metal detector allow detecting specific types of metal and discarding the other, which enables discrimination among the artefacts you are after and prevents you from digging for a scrap. Thus, applying your own configuration profile greatly increases the search efficiency. Some metal detectors support a depth meter function, with which you can obtain information on the burial depth of a precious ring or a coin. The feature of detector sensitivity adjustment provides easier search and makes it possible to filter interference and noise produced by mineralized soil or nearby transmission lines. Extra features, such as determination of the type of a metal object or even a denomination value of coins are the pros when considering a metal detecting device. A digital pinpointer feature provides detailed info on object location in the ground so, you can excavate this object without damaging it. A big and informative screen and various data displaying configurations allow you to choose a mode that suits you best and easily read the detector info. While a multitone sound indication of metal detection empowers you to distinguish different metals by ear. Extras

The buttons are slightly different to the previous models being that they are a little smaller so if you have got bigger hands it can perhaps be a little fiddly. The Power button also doubles as the Iron Audio button. By pressing this button, you are able to hear discriminated iron. Everyone seems to agree the Garrett ACE 400i really can do no wrong. This detector really is an improvement on all of its predecessors. In addition to having great sensitivity, users are also now able to distinguish between different types of iron. One of the major advantages is the price – for all the advanced features that you get, it really is somewhat of a bargain.Like most detectors, there is also a pre-set coin mode, which helps to find coins by discriminating against smaller metals like ring pulls, pieces of iron, old foil etc. As the Garrett EuroACE is designed for European users, it’s tuned to search for common European coin shapes and sizes. While the control panel of the Garrett EuroACE may initially look complex, it’s actually quite simple, with six buttons controlling everything on the detector. This includes the following:
