Best "beginer" detector for the price, awesome depth also
A-Ortiz in Carrollton Texas -
Well I have had many detectors over the years and as usual I always sell them to get an "upgrade" detector, so far I have tested most Bounty Hunter and quite a few Garrett detectors, for the price this is by far the best in its price range and will outperform any Bounty Hunter any day. Discrimination is awesome and depth is about 7 to 8 inches, I would like to see that form a BH .. it will be the best $150 you will ever spend .. please read the owners manual and do the "air test" with different coins and alloys so you can find the setting best suitable for what you want to find..

I very good detector!
Sam in Olympia, Wa -
I do not understand these bad reviews for this detector. You do not even need headphones(very loud) as the power of this is far none. Only dig the clear sounds. Simple and easy to use and has power to punch down. I think the people who give these reviews on here have not been a treasure hunter too long. This detector reminds me of the bell tone of others but in one mode!

ace? More like INFERIOR 150
mike in Pismo Beach, CA USA -
Well I took mine out to the beach and yuck it started to bounce everywhere you know the signals. I then took it out to the park and found nothing but pull tabs and pennies. It doesn't even discriminate that well. I say try it on your own risk. I sold it and bought a tesoro compadre and it satisfied me better than the so called "ACE" or should I say the Garrett Inferior 150 and that goes as well for the 250.

Treasure Ace 100
Nathan in USA -I've had the Garrett Treasure Ace 100 for about 2 months now and have gotten pretty good with it. The trick with it seems to be turn the discriminatior up to the start of the coins section. Then when you swinging the detector only dig the stuff which beeps on when the coil is passed over it both directions. I'm sure I'm missing stuff this way but anything else is to frustrating for me. Beer tops allways show up no matter what you set the discrimination at. Pinpointing is hard and I've quit bothering. Now I just try and guess close to where the find is and dig a 8 - 10 inch circle.
Max depth for coin sized objects seems to be about 7 inches. Once I dug a hubcap at 2 feet however.
On the plus, Batteries last quite a while. Maybe 20 - 30 hours.
This is my first detector so I have nothing to compare it to.
I would not recommend buying this detector because you very quickly be out shopping for an upgrade. That said I have had a lot of fun with it. Found a 1934 Tag der arbet badge, a few silver coins, and 2 rings. My oldest find so far is 1907.
hope this is helpful.
