Garrett 1138070 ACE 150 Metal Detector

Product Information

On our second trip to the woods, where there were fewer signals, he started to play with the sensitivity, turning it up until it squealed and then down just enough to stop it from making a constant noise. The sensitivity button increases or decreases the sensitivity of the machine so when I was picking up lots of trash around a football field, I decreased the sensitivity.

The vibration function is particularly useful if the detector is being used in an area where the beeping can’t be heard, or where beeping would be disruptive to others. You’ll get used to the audio really fast and it makes a nice change from constantly looking at the control box. As with the 150 model great reports of the battery life being very efficient, and the machine itself being very lightweight, the machine weighs 1.

It’s easy-to-use, finds enough targets to keep kids entertained, and has enough tech to keep early teens engaged.

On his first trip out, Max wasn’t bothered about the sensitivity button preferring to hunt for coins on the pre-set.Metal detecting can be a great hobby for the ‘technology-obsessed’ younger-generations to get involved with. Jewelry mode discriminates most nails and small pieces of iron, designed for finding rings, bracelets, watches, necklaces etc. If you’re looking for a machine that’ll hunt in saltwater and wet sand this isn’t for you as mineralized ground will send out so many false-positive tones you’ll lose the will.
