Garrett Ace 300

Garret Treasure Ace 300

Rob in Bloomington, MN -
Well, what to say, I sold my bounty hunter back in 2004 or so and bought my treasure ace 300. Big mistake, I'm not sure if it's just my unit or every treasure ace 300 but I can only detect coins(even quarters) in all types of soils which I have tried to a depth of 4" if I'm lucky.

I was out with a friend one day who was using a similarly priced fisher 1226, he got a hit, I asked if I could swing my detector to compare, it wouldn't even register with my discriminate off and my sensitivity at its highest point. It ended up being a 1930's wheat penny at about 5".

I do seem to find a lot of cans and larger scrap metal so it might work for larger targets but most cheaper metal detectors will as well. All in all I'll take my garrett over a cheap radio shack detector any day but I wont buy a garrett again.

I have an older ace 300 my brother bought the gti 2500 while he is trying to figure out how to use his I find coins plus that little ace 300 is very rugged, I lost the battery door on the back they shipped me 1 for free garret detectors are the first choice for me, oh buy the way you can have all the detector you want but if you don't practice & learn how to use it you better just stay home./!

I purchased one of these at a bargain price at a pawnshop, but sold it
shortly thereafter. Depth was good, and the discrimination worked as advertised, but that was about it. It certainly wasn't any better than my
Bounty Hunters, and the pricing on the Garret is higher.

About the best thing that could be said about it was that the higher list price brought be a better resale when I put it on eBay.
