Five Search Modes
Offering best in class versatility, Garrett Ace 300 is a perfect choice for the avid hobbyists. This unit comes with five search modes ideal for finding a variety of treasures including jewelry, relics, coins, all metal, and custom. Using the custom mode lets you control the Target ID settings and Notch discrimination. On the other hand, using the all-metal mode will detect all metal types, enabling you to search for different types of targets. Thanks to the pinpointer feature, you will get an accurate estimate on your discovered item. This useful feature lets you know of the time and effort you will use while digging up the treasure. For instance, you may opt not to waste your energy digging up a coin, which may be 10 inches deep. Also, by accurately estimating where the coin is located, you don’t have to dig a wide hole.
Digital Target ID
The Ace 300 combines a segment based discrimination system and Digital Target ID to identify your targets. The Digital target ID has a numerical scale that indicates the conductivity of the target. A target that has a higher number on the scale has better conductivity. Consecutively, targets that have high conductivity will ring up high-value metals such as silver. Conversely, low conductivity metals such as iron will have a lower number on the scale. The combination of this feature will let you get an accurate representation of the target object. Therefore, it will be easier to differentiate between a zinc and silver penny by merely looking at the numbers on the screen.
Adjustable Frequency
Another convenient feature that comes with the Ace 300 metal detector is the adjustable frequency. First, this unit operates at a decent frequency of about 8 kHz. What is even better is that this frequency is adjustable if need be. This is important especially in situations where you are in a competition hunt, and your competitors are using other 8 kHz metal detectors. Additionally, adjusting the frequency may also eliminate interference from Wifi signals or power lines.
Comfortable Handle
Designed with user comfort in mind, the ergonomic design, and lightweight design allows you to use the detector for extended periods. It comes with an adjustable armrest and shaft, allowing you to customize the detector to a position that is comfortable for you. Besides, it comes with a headphone jack that lets you distinguish the tones accurately. Doing so will let you know if the treasure is worth digging up or not.
