With a robust 30-hour battery life, a user-friendly LCD interface, and customizable discrimination settings, it offers unmatched versatility and comfort for serious treasure hunters. Trusted globally, it combines rugged durability with advanced technology at an accessible price point. ## Description ACE 250 is an outstanding all-around metal detector at a reasonable price. It is easy to tune and easy to use. The ACE 250 is recommended for beginners as well as "old pro’s". It can be used to hunt old coins, jewelry, relics, artifacts, buried treasures and other valuables. Charles Garrett says "Our ACE detectors offer excellent depth, rugged design and performance at a price only Garrett can offer. It’s no surprise that our ACE’s have become the worlds’ most popular metal detectors." Of course you’d never expect a detector with this price tag to offer so much greatness. Just one more reason, you need the ACE 250. Review: Recommend this detector - OK, part of the reason I went with this is that most of the security metal detector wands I see are made by this company. I knew it had a reputation for quality among the "pros" who need a reliable detector. I will also add that Garrett has really good customer service, which means you won't be stuck with something that won't work after a month or so. Service is good before and after the sale. I chose this specific model since it came recommended in the metal detector boards. Garrett has a video where you can see this unit in action (as well as their other units). After having used it for a while, I am happy with my choice of this unit. It will grow with you if you want to get more adventurous--short of seriously metal detecting under water! The Ace 250 was a fairly easy set up. In fact, it took about five minutes without really consulting the manual. But, I am pretty good at electronics! Still, you don't need to be an electronics genius to figure this out since it is basically attaching the searchcoil to the unit and then the cable to the control housing. That last part is pretty idiot proof too! The batteries were in the unit. The unit is also pretty intuitive to use. The unit also comes with a DVD on how to use it (in addition to the manual--which you can find online). OK, the unit is really good for the price point. I have to say that you should hold off on buying any headphones to use with this until after you've used it for a while. I found the unit was loud enough for me without headphones. It was too loud with headphones. One accessory that you should seriously consider is the Garrett Metal Detector Coverup for using the detector in bad weather. The detectors aren't weatherproof and that will help it last longer. On the other hand, getting down to the treasure hunting... Well, that's more up to you, and your luck! And where you happen to live (or treasure hunt). Not many people find things like the Crosby Garrett Helmet and the hoard of Anglo-Saxon found by Terry Herbert. But, there's always hope! Enjoy this detector. BTW, there are more uses for these things than just looking for buried treasure. I bought it to hunt for some lost items. And to try treasure hunting. Review: Easy, accurate, fun, and a classy company - Sometimes you can "feel" the extra care a company puts into its products, and the Ace 250 brings a lot of that feeling on. The fit and finish are great, it is extremely lightweight, assembly is super quick and requires no tools, and even the batteries are pre-installed. These are all signs of a well-thought-out tool, not just a toy or a careless next generation iteration of an existing technology. Pull a few pieces from the box, press two rubber washers in place (friction washers for the coil pivot), screw together one plastic bolt (plastic, since by coil and don't want metal!), and screw on the coil cable connector. Then press PWR and you are ready to go! But better yet, watch the very professional video on how to use the Ace first. It isn't full of amazing surprise finds with cheesy actors, rather, it is very much like a military training video, with a professional voice talent carefully enumerating the features and functions of the Ace while the viewer sees a man demonstrate each step or method at what seems to be a public park. I can't tell you how wonderfully straightforward and "clean" this video is, but I suspect the quality comes from Garret's experience with training videos for commercial/industrial products. And the video is specifically for the Ace 250. Also, watch the pin-pointer video; once you get into the field I think you'll quickly see the usefulness of the handheld pin-pointer, I know I'm planning on getting one. As for features, this machine seems to do everything I imagined doing with it and should run over 20 hours on four AA batteries, which makes more sense to me than two 9V batteries like many detectors use. It also has its own speaker, so you don't have to have headphones...you'll likely want headphones with their own volume control, though, but if the speaker is too loud at a public place (or just annoying the rest of the family) you can cover the speaker holes with some tape to muffle the sound. The machine shows type of metal and depth. It lets you set custom detection profiles and sensitivity. It even keeps its memory and settings when turned off, which is important because you'll want to turn it off each time you stop to dig. A "custom profile" is essentially a filter that instructs the machine about what kinds of metals should trigger a sound alert--the display will always indicate any find. Perhaps the best feature of all is the pinpointing. While it doesn't serve the same way as a handheld pin-pointer would during the actual dig, it is invaluable for locating where to dig. Watch the video for instructions, but note that along with the X technique you can also press the pin-point button and do a fine scanning of the small area with the find to get a mental image of the detection circle around the object--your mind will "see" a disc that is "bright" (loud) at the center and fades off at the edges. You can also use a spiral motion you let "decay" into a simple circle and when you can make a circle with the detector's coil that has a perfectly even pin-pointing tone you know that the object is dead center of this circle. Scanning, especially, can be useful for larger, irregularly shaped objects, because your mind is forming a fuzzy image of the object's shape...just don't dig for a buried cable! As for the function of the machine, I could not have imagined it to be this good. It tells you pretty much exactly what is down there and how for down it is. The video says it can take 100 hours to become proficient at picking up on the sounds and indicators, but the truth is after only about 2 hours you'll already be growing a "third eye" for what lies beneath. For example, you quickly come to recognize that short, nearly "phantom" blips are foil wrappers, that having two finds very near one another is not that uncommon, and that large iron objects (say, an old drain cover) may sound like coin-iron-coin rather than just a lot of iron. One thing that is under-emphasized is that detecting is really about digging, or at least scraping. Doing this in a way that doesn't mess up grass, etc., is mentioning in the video, but if you have to travel to get to where you are detecting, be sure to have along a small planting trowel, some sort of dully pointed metal rod for a probe, a heavy nylon brush, a lighter-weight nylon brush, and a jug of water. You'll quickly see why. ## Features - ELECTRONIC PINPOINTING: Precisely locate targets and speed up recovery for more efficient detecting. - FIVE SEARCH MODES: Choose from All Metal, Jewelry, Custom, Relics, and Coins for versatile treasure hunting. - ACCEPT/REJECT DISCRIMINATION: Customize discrimination patterns to focus on desired targets. - COIN DEPTH INDICATOR: Continuous depth reading helps determine how deep a target is buried. - USER-FRIENDLY DESIGN: Large LCD, push-button controls, battery life indicator, and adjustable arm cuff for comfort. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00095ODBI | | Battery Average Life | 30 hours | | Best Sellers Rank | #57,557 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #73 in Metal Detectors | | Brand | Garrett Metal Detectors | | Brand Name | Garrett Metal Detectors | | Color | Black and Gold | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 4,055 Reviews | | Display Type | LCD | | Extended Length | 57 centimeters | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00786156002715 | | International Protection Rating | IP54 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 11.1"L x 5.1"W x 22.1"H | | Item Type Name | Ace 250 | | Item Weight | 1.2 kg | | Manufacturer | Garrett Metal Detectors | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1139070 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | TWO YEARS | | Material | Metal | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Number | 1140060 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Programs | 3 | | Operating Frequency | 7.2 KHz | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Product Dimensions | 11.1"L x 5.1"W x 22.1"H | | Recommended Uses For Product | Metal Detection | | UPC | 641243739625 786156002715 333830071200 670541999783 786156003699 043972936151 798256216879 786156002777 610098339243 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Garrett Metal Detectors - **Color:** Black and Gold - **Item Weight:** 1.2 kg - **Material:** Metal - **Power Source:** Battery Powered ## Images ![Garrett Ace 250 Metal Detector with Submersible Coil - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41nGBJXhRpL.jpg) ![Garrett Ace 250 Metal Detector with Submersible Coil - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Ib13xNOUL.jpg) ![Garrett Ace 250 Metal Detector with Submersible Coil - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CPp8Wj-JL.jpg) ![Garrett Ace 250 Metal Detector with Submersible Coil - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81U8eCs-h3L.jpg) ![Garrett Ace 250 Metal Detector with Submersible Coil - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81FasJQ2UVL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will it help me find my mojo?** A: Even better, it will remind you that your mojo was never lost to begin with. **Q: how long do batteries last? can you use rechargeable energizer batteries? AA or AAA batteries** A: I’ve found new batteries last longer than the rechargeable ones. The rechargeables only lasted 4 hrs vs 10-20hrs on Amazon or Duracell batteries. Though dollar store batteries only go 4 hrs. Lol **Q: can it be used in water?** A: Hi Fred,Only the coil is waterproof. If you get the electronics wet then it's shot.This happened to me one time and Garrett gave me a good deal on a replacement 250.You can search their website for the waterproof model but it's quite expensive.Bob P **Q: will it tell me what kind of metal it is?** A: Yes. You are able to set it on what metal to detect and the depth of them ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recommend this detector *by P***L on August 15, 2012* OK, part of the reason I went with this is that most of the security metal detector wands I see are made by this company.

While I would certainly not classify myself as a hardcore-detecting hobbyist, I do try to do it properly when I participate. One thing I have noticed is that there are a lot of metal-detecting "snobs" out there that love nothing more than telling you that while your detector is cute, it might as well be a giant turd with earphones compared to theirs! It's weird--I like this hobby because it's different / not mainstream, but when that stuff happens, it may as well be golf... Anyway - I'm not into this hobby enough to spend $700 - $1500 on a detector, but I do want to get my moneys worth. There are A LOT of reviews on the web for this particular detector, and I would say that 1 in 10 were negative, with the rest being very positive. For $200, I gave it a shot. My findings: The good: When I received the device, I walked out into my backyard to play around a little, and immediately, with a resounding "DING", found a penny about 4 inches deep. It seems to really like coin shooting The discrimination and sensitivity settings work well, and the various settings (coins, all metal, jewelry, etc...) work fairly well-- as far a coin shooting, the find usually is exactly what the detector says it is. I've read many reviews slamming the "pinpoint" feature. Honestly, after I READ THE BOOK and played with it for a couple minutes, I found that it worked quite well. It seems to work very well down to about 8". It may work well beyond that... I really haven't had the chance yet to hunt anywhere for really deep items. It's very light, and the display crams a lot of usefull stuff into a small area without being confusing. If you turn it off while you're digging, the batteries last a long, long time. The bad: The shaft is a bit on the flimsy side, although it is pretty easy to stabilize if you desire. It only has a couple tones - a dull beep for trash or unknown items, and a 'DING!' for coins. Honestly though, after I got used to them, they were plenty. It seems to like a slightly slower sweep than most detectors. There is no volume knob. This used to make me mad, but now not so much. Sometimes headphones are just a drag, I wish I could turn it down. In short: The bottom line is this - you really need to read the book that comes with it and spend an hour getting aquainted with the device for it to really work for you. I like it, and for the money wouldn't think twice about buying another. ## Frequently Bought Together - Garrett Ace 250 Metal Detector with Submersible Search Coil - SE Prospector's Serrated Edge Digger Compact Shovel Trowel for Gardening, Metal or Gold Prospecting and Detecting - Includes Carrying Sheath - Kuman Pin pointer Water Resistant Metal Detectors with Holster Treasure Hunting Unearthing Tool Accessories Buzzer Vibration Automatic Tuning KW30 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/80087870-garrett-ace-250-metal-detector-with-submersible-coil](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/80087870-garrett-ace-250-metal-detector-with-submersible-coil) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-10-24*
