Did you recently purchased a Garrett Ace 250 metal detector or are you still trying to get the hang of things? Learning a new metal detector can be discouraging. This is completely normal and something that will change with time and practice.
Learning to use the Ace 250 effectively will take some time and practice. It is not your ordinary entry level metal detector as it comes loaded with features such as notch discrimination, pinpoint, graphic id and search mode presets – features normally reserved for mid-entry level metal detectors.
Fortunately, you have chosen an incredible metal detector with lots of cool and powerful features that, once mastered, will allow you to find a lot of coins, jewelry and other cool relics of the past. There is a reason why the Ace 250 is my favorite metal detector, it is a treasure magnet!
It can take some time to really learn what the Ace 250 was telling you and how to use it effectively and I would like to share this information with you. If you are already a veteran Ace 250 user, then these tips may not be new to you. If you are just starting out or are confused, then you have come to the right place.

Garrett Ace 250 Metal Detector Review
I purchased a Garrett Ace 250 metal detector to have as an inexpensive backup and to let friends use. I had considered the Fisher F2, however the Garrett Ace 250 metal detector seemed more intuitive and has a stronger build than the F2.
There are 6 reasons why I consider this one of the best entry level metal detectors.
1. For the price, you get a lot of features such as notch discrimination, pinpoint, graphic id, search presets. These are features usually found on mid-entry level metal detectors.
2. The Ace 250 is quite sensitive and gets good depth for the price.
3. Target separation was good.
4. It only takes 4 AA batteries as compared to other models that require 9 volts. This is a definite money saver.
5. Even a complete novice can be up and running with the Garrett Ace 250 metal detector in minimal time. It really is a powerful metal detector with a simple user interface.
6. The Price.
In conclusion, I personally believe that the Garrett Ace 250 is one of the best entry level metal detectors that I have used to date. True, it still can’t compare to some other metal detectors for features and depth, but for beginners, it gets the job done.
