Product Information

Full details

The Garrett ACE 200i is an entry-level metal detector designed for beginners, families, and casual treasure hunters. Its key benefit is providing reliable performance and ease of use to help you find coins, jewelry, and other buried items. A potential caveat is its maximum search depth of 0.23 meters, making it less suitable for deep-buried targets. This detector features a digital target ID scale (0-99) for accurate identification, pulse-width modulation audio for clear feedback, and three preset search modes (All Metal, Jewelry, Coins). It also includes adjustable sensitivity and a coin depth indicator.

FAQs

What is the maximum depth the ACE 200i can detect?

The ACE 200i has a maximum search depth of 0.23 meters (approximately 9 inches) for larger targets like coins. Deeper targets may not be detected.

Can I use the ACE 200i underwater?

The search coil is waterproof, but the control housing is not. Therefore, the ACE 200i is not suitable for full submersion but can be used in shallow water or wet grass where only the coil is exposed to moisture.

How do I change the batteries?

Open the battery compartment located on the back of the control housing. Remove the old AA batteries and insert 4 new AA batteries, paying attention to the correct polarity.

What do the numbers on the Digital Target ID scale mean?

The scale from 0 to 99 provides an indication of the metal type and conductivity of a detected target. Lower numbers typically represent iron, while higher numbers indicate more conductive metals like silver. Specific ranges often correspond to common items like coins or pull tabs.

How does discrimination work on this model?

The ACE 200i has preset discrimination patterns within its search modes. For example, the 'Coins' mode is designed to ignore common trash items like iron nails and foil, allowing you to focus on coin targets.

What is Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) audio?

PWM audio is a technology that provides sharper, more responsive audio signals. This means you get quicker and clearer feedback as you sweep the coil over a target, making it easier to identify and pinpoint.

Does the ACE 200i come with headphones?

The standard package for the ACE 200i typically does not include headphones. Headphones can be purchased separately and are recommended for better hearing of faint signals and for use in noisy environments.

Troubleshooting

Device does not power on.

Ensure that 4 AA batteries are correctly inserted in the battery compartment and that they are not depleted. Check the battery contacts for cleanliness.

No target signals detected.

Verify that the detector is not in a 'Notch Discrimination' mode that excludes the target. Increase sensitivity if set too low. Ensure the search coil is within range of the target and sweep slowly.

Inconsistent or erratic signals.

Lower the sensitivity setting. Move away from sources of electromagnetic interference, such as power lines or other active metal detectors. Check for loose cable connections to the search coil.

Difficulty distinguishing between targets.

Experiment with the different search modes and adjust sensitivity. Listen carefully to the nuances in the Pulse-Width Modulation audio feedback.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to use, ideal for beginners and families.
  • Accurate target identification with Digital Target ID.
  • Clear and responsive audio feedback.
  • Multiple search modes and sensitivity levels for versatility.
  • Lightweight and comfortable for extended use.
  • Affordable entry into metal detecting.

Cons

  • Maximum search depth of 0.23 meters may limit the discovery of very deep targets.
  • Basic discrimination capabilities compared to higher-end models.
  • Requires 4 AA batteries, which need periodic replacement.
  • Not ideal for highly mineralized ground without careful sensitivity adjustment.
  • Can be less effective in detecting very small or thin items at depth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Assemble the shaft: Connect the three shaft sections using the improved camlocks, ensuring a secure fit.
  2. Attach the search coil: Secure the coil to the lower shaft section.
  3. Install batteries: Open the battery compartment and insert 4 AA batteries, observing correct polarity.
  4. Power on: Press the power button to turn the unit on.

Compatibility:

  • The Garrett ACE 200i operates at a frequency of 6.5 kHz, suitable for a wide range of metal targets.
  • It is compatible with standard AA alkaline batteries.
  • It is designed for use on land, including parks, fields, and beaches.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, wipe the search coil and control housing with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the control housing or coil in water unless specifically stated for the coil.
  • Storage: Store the detector in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures. Consider using a protective bag or case.
  • Battery Maintenance: Remove batteries if the detector will not be used for an extended period to prevent corrosion.
