Garrett Ace 400 Key featuresVLF TechnologyFeatures an electromagnetic field that applies a constant sinusoidal wave to the location. DD CoilWill bring finds to beginner detectorists even on mineralized and complicated trashy grounds. 4 Search Modes + CustomPreset modes make quick usage easy without additional tuning, and custom mode is handy for unusual locations or targets. PinpointPoints to exact location and sizing of the target underground, to prevent it from being damaged, or lost. Waterproof CoilThis level of waterproofness is enough for beginner detectorists and allows wet sand and shallow water treasure hunting. Notch DiscriminationThis is a useful feature that enables the user to activate search for certain types of metal, and deactivate other types. The ShaftThe design of the metal detectors remains the same – the S-shaped shaft, consisting of three sections. The upper section is attached to a comfortable armrest, repeating the shape of the arm. In addition, the armrest has special openings where you can insert the fixing strap. The strap is included in the kit, so no need to purchase it separately. Also, the control unit is located on the shaft. Unfortunately, though, it is impossible to dismantle it, as the design does not suggest this option. But technically it is not necessary, since the folded ACE does not take much place and can easily fit into any travel bag. On the bend, there is a polyurethane handle of a very ergonomic configuration. It will be comfortable both for professional detectorists, and also for beginners not used yet to long hours of search. The middle shaft part is used for fitting the metal detector to the height of the operator. To adjust the height, it has ten openings that allow to smoothly change the length of the detector. Carbon fiber bottom shaft part provides reliable operation for several years. The upper shaft part is aluminum and is painted matt black by powder paint. All the shaft parts are connected with spring buttons, which facilitate the assembly or disassembly of the device. Each detail of the metal detector provides structural strength and prevents from unpleasant surprises. Garrett ACE metal detectors have two types of the coils:
The coils are oval shaped, which ensures accurate search on different soils with different degree of surface contamination. Thanks to this, you can easily search even in places with a huge accumulation of iron debris. The coils are completely sealed, and therefore provide the opportunity to work on the beaches. But it is worth noting that the control unit is not sealed, and it cannot be immersed underwater. If the water gets there, the level of performance will drop instantly. The cable connecting the coil with control box has elastic and durable braiding, which should not be exposed to high temperatures and mechanical wear. The plug is equipped with a tap with a fixing thread that protects it from unwanted pulling out due to clinging to bushes and tree branches. Control BoxAll new Garrett ACE 200, 300 and 400 metal detectors have a new feature – VDI target discrimination.
Search ModesAll three models in this series have similar search modes, with minor differences between the models. Of course, the features in every model make each search mode more efficient, or make the metal detector more flexible in performance. So, check out the search modes, but don’t forget to pay attention to other technical specifications, because the search modes are not the most important thing. Garrett Ace 200 Search ModesAll MetalEnables the user to spot every item of metal, and makes it possible to locate the target more clearly if the signal is not really comprehensive. JewelryCreated for modern jewelry, mostly, and allows to spot valuable objects made of the corresponding materials, while filtering out trash. However, this mode won’t be useful for relics. CoinsCoins mode is focused on coins (mostly US) and shows high efficiency in search of these items. But it will not be very helpful if you scan over a piece of jewelry. Garrett Ace 300 & Ace 400 Search ModesGarrett ACE 200Garrett ACE 200, which has already earned the respect of beginners and professionals alike, opens the Garrett ACE series of metal detectors. The main difference from models by other manufacturers is that this detector has maximum functionality and excellent search capacity, so it can perform a variety of tasks. Garrett ACE 200 has a simple and clear display and control box. The liquid crystal display has only three touch buttons to adjust the detector. In the middle of the upper part of the LCD display there is an identification scale. During the search, it lights up and the cursor indicates the type of target. At the time of object detection, the data obtained can be compared with the sound response from the detected target. On the left side of the screen is a table with preset search programs. ACE 200 can operate in three modes: all metals, coins, and jewelry. The first is best suited for finding various relics in places of historical settlements. In particular, it is best to carry out search operations in areas where mass battles took place, as the coil informs the operator of any interesting potential finds. The remaining two modes allow you to exclude all iron objects and direct the search exclusively to non-ferrous metals. Switching modes is carried out by pressing the MODE button located under the scale. Garrett ACE 200 was created mainly for jewelry and coins, but still this device is universal. This detector can be used for searching ancient and military relics. The vertical scale on the right side of the screen indicates the depth (in inches) of the object. There is also a mark that indicates how to dig when extracting the find. In addition, the display has battery power icon. Thanks to it, you can monitor your power consumption at any time and determine when it is time to replace the battery. Also, Garrett ACE 200 does not have a pin-point mode, in contrast to Garrett ACE 300 and 400. Garrett ACE 300Garrett ACE 300 metal detector is an excellent on-budget device, worth the money spent on it. Regardless of the totally affordable price, this metal detector can adequately search valuable finds and reward even complete newbies. It’s easy to use (in contrast to the majority of expensive metal detectors), because it does not have a lot of unnecessary settings. Just take it and go! Garrett ACE 400This metal detector has many advantages. ACE 400 is the most powerful model in the ACE series, which has repeatedly been considered the leader of sales for several years, only occasionally giving the first place to their counterparts from the model range. Garrett ACE 400 is a symbiosis of reliability, excellent price and high performance. Structurally, this model is all the tighter base as its predecessors: lightweight, well-balanced, with movable construction units, and comfortable armrest. The design is durable and easy to transport. Garrett ACE 400 has DD 8.5×11″ PROformance coil and Zero-Disk mode that makes it stand out compared to ACE 200 and 300.

The 400 is better if you're searching trashy areas or you're simply fed up getting all the iron. There's more tech on the 400 than the 300 and if you can afford to do so I'd recommend getting the Garrett ACE 400 to find better quality targets with the aid of iron audio and a higher frequency.
What is the difference between Garrett ACE 400 and 400i?The Garrett ACE 400i is the international version of the ACE 400. With Iron Audio, Digital Target ID, Adjustable Frequency, Notch Discrimination and a deep seeking 8.5x11” DD searchcoil, it's ready to find treasure! It also comes with headphones, a environmental cover-cover up and a coil cover.
What is the difference between the Garrett ACE 400 and the pro?The AT Pro comes submersible to 10 feet in the water, while only the search coil and the shaft of the ACE 400 can be submerged. If water hunting is a big deal to you, it's clear that you need the AT Pro. Beyond a detector's waterproofing, another important consideration is the soil in the areas you metal detect.
