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.

Something New ? AT Pro

Howdy Folks,

Wow it is amazing how time passes. Christmas is here and not even any Winter or cold weather to go with it. It is almost like Spring in West Texas. I hope all are looking forward to being with family and friends as we exchange gifts together. As for the detectorist, we are all thinking about what could be under the tree ?

The new AT Pro from Garrett is a nice departure from the big bucks machines being offered by the various detector companies. One feature I really like is the waterproof electronics. I have not done any serious detecting or testing of the AT yet. Mr. Dankowski is giving us a lot of info as he goes through the paces on this machine. Sure there are a few bugs to take care of by Garrett as they are discovered during it's initiation.

I want to again wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and be safe in the field also. May your finds be golden.

Howdy all,

I hope your all getting to do a little detecting and not frozen in too badly in the North. Winter is nonexistent here in West Texas. I think we are in an Indian kind of Summer. I thought I would try posting a pic of me and the Ace 350 and AT Pro. I haven't been able to get out and work these 2 detectors much at all but I hope to soon. I am under the weather a bit right now. I also want to say thank you to everyone that has done business with John's Detectors and I hope to see or hear from y'all again. I am forever grateful for you all. I hope that the Lord is Blessing you all this Christmas. So many thanks again and be safe in the field and I hope everyone get's that detector you have been wanting for so long under the tree. May your finds be truly golden. Merry Christmas !

Garrett AT Pro

Howdy Friends,

I am so glad that Garrett decided to start changing it's models being offered now. The AT Pro is such a change that for once I am talking good about something Garrett has that works very well. I hope we will see even more from them. The new coil design is also a welcome feature. Ok I hope to have more time to use this new machine from Garrett. Everyone be safe and give the AT Pro your consideration for sure !

Meteorites

Hi everyone,
I hope the hunting is good and your finds are piling up ! I have a lot of calls for help in ID'ing meteorites and to purchase them also. Let me say this, I like meteorites and hunting them but I am not an expert in identification of them. I leave this up to my onetime neighbor and school mate Robert Haag, he is called the Meteorite Man not to be confused with Meteorite Men. Actually I don't really collect them either. But lookup Meteorite Man on google and Robert's website can be found easily. Give him a call and go from there. But I do thank you for any calls for metal detectors to find meteorites.. Alright let's all go meteorite hunting and if you need a metal detector give me a call and good hunting all. Merry Christmas too !

Garrett AT Pro

Howdy all,
I just wanted to say I am sold out of the At Pro's at this time but I do have the Ace 350 package deal and Pro Pointers in stock. Christmas is marching in now and it won't be long in coming. I'm not sure when I will have more AT's in stock. I still can't believe all of the negative comments about it on another forum. I would like to spend a lot of time on the AT. So far I like it compared to other model's in the lineup. Ok I am out of here right now and will be back when I have something new. Be safe everyone and good hunting.
