What's Better Than A Garrett Ace 250?

"The world's most popular family of metal detectors has a new big brother. . .
Introducing the NEW Garrett ACE 350."

Users who have enjoyed the power and performance of an ACE 250 will certainly be interested in the new technology offered by Garrett's new ACE 350.

This detector provides powerful new search advantages for coin and jewelry hunters, prospectors and relic hunters.

The ACE 350's key features include:

• Powerful, large 8.5" x 11" PROformance Double-D searchcoil. This new DD configuration coil provides greater detection depth and performance by significantly reducing the negative effects of heavily mineralized ground and saltwater interference. Garrett's blunted tip and tail design further extends the coil's search area and offers improved searching along obstacles.
• Enhanced Iron Resolution™- Coin and relic hunters will appreciate the more precise control over how much iron discrimination to apply. This feature is used to help separate good treasure targets from adjacent iron trash.
• Higher Frequency- New 8.25 kHz frequency offers improved ability to detect small, conductive targets (such as small gold nuggets) than previous ACE detectors.
• Volume-control headphones- Garrett's ClearSound Easy Stow headphones are included.

Extra Reasons to buy the New ACE 350:

NEW 8.5" x 11" PROformance DD SEARCHCOIL WILL BE SOLD AS AN ACCESSORY ALSO!

This deep-searching coil is standard with the new ACE 350 detector but will also be sold separately.

ACE 150 and 250 users with the standard 6.5" x 9" searchcoil will gain detection depth and performance, particularly in mineralized soil conditions. The 8.5" x 11" PROformance DD searchcoil will be sold separately for the ACE series (PN 2222000, MSRP $139.95), the GTI series (PN 2222200, MSRP $149.95) and for GTP 1350/GTAx 550 detector use (PN 2222100, MSRP $149.95). These new coils will be available October 15.

Note: An international version of the ACE 350 (known as the EuroACE) will also be released this fall. The Target ID legend and discrimination patterns for the EuroACE are modified to better fit European and international treasure targets (i.e., no U.S. coins on the Target ID). Please note that the EuroACE will not be sold to Garrett's U.S. distributors, just as the ACE 350 will not be sold to Garrett's European distributors.

Please do not buy an Ace 250. I got one last year and it acted sporadic, didn't pinpoint properly, and was terible.

Any product can have a defective unit. Send it back for a checkup. I had a customer with a machine driving him crazy. Nothing more than a loose battery connection.

When the 250 came out, it knocked out a LOT of higher end sales. Yes, they were better machines, but hard to justify the higher price for the advantages.

I've had my 250 for a year+ and love it, but I'll check out the 350 (or whatever Garret has new) when my 250 wears out.

The AT exists. Our distributor says orders paid for today will ship in late January.

You're right, but what are you calling "junk"? Mostly what you see in big box stores are junk. Minelabs are good machines, but tend towards a steep learning curve.

How much does a 250 cost?

The 1st Love of my Life (Lisa) bought me the Garrett 350 for Christmas so I can search for the 2nd Love of my Life (coins). I'm waiting for the ground to thaw so I may use it.
