Who Garrett ACE 300 is for
The one most clubs hand a newcomer, and for good reason: the target ID is honest enough that you stop digging junk within a session, and the iron audio lets you hear trash before you dig it.
This is also the machine with the widest accessory support in this lineup - Garrett sells a size-matched replacement coil cover and 1/4" headphones built for the ACE line, and any pinpointer or serrated digging tool pairs with it just as easily. We round up the specific ones worth buying in our metal detecting accessories guide.
What the maker claims
From the manufacturer's own listing, unedited. We have not independently verified these figures - this is a desk comparison, and the methodology says so.
DIGITAL TARGET ID: Numeric scale (0–99) helps identify metal conductivity for precise target detection.
IRON RESOLUTION: Improved discrimination allows better separation of valuable targets from iron trash.
ELECTRONIC PINPOINTING: Non-motion All-Metal Mode helps accurately locate detected targets.
ADJUSTABLE FREQUENCY: Minimize interference in crowded areas for a smoother detecting experience.
SEARCHCOIL COVER INCLUDED: Protective cover shields the searchcoil from scratches, rocks, and debris to extend coil life and maintain reliable detection performance.
