Garrett Ace 350


Hi everyone,

I hope your New Year has started out good and it has been a great time at our place. I have enjoyed the time off but will hit the salt mine again tomorrow. I have been trying out the new Garrett Ace 350. It is a decent machine money wise. The addition of the new DD coil has added to the ability of the machine very well. I buried a clad dime at about 3 inches deep amongst tiny iron fragments. Of course it is face down but I am still able to detect it if I go slow with my swing. It seemed the further I moved the coil up toward the toe the better the response to the dime. I am talking about mucho iron on top of and around the dime. So if your in a really iron saturated ground go slow and when you get even a half a belltone do a walk around and use that DD coil to your advantage. I think the new coil is the best addition to the Ace 350. So if you are wanting to get in cheap and still have a detector that can do a decent job give the Ace 350 consideration. I will try the dime on edge next and see what I get. This is just a quick test I wanted to try. Ok be safe everyone and I hope to hear from y'all soon.
