Who Garrett ACE 400 is for
The top of the ACE line: adds iron audio, a frequency adjustment and a better stock coil. More machine than a first-time user needs, but the one you would not outgrow.
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: 0-99 numeric scale helps identify metal conductivity for precise target identification.
IRON AUDIO FEATURE: Hear iron trash before digging to avoid unwanted targets like bottle caps and washers.
ELECTRONIC PINPOINTING: Non-motion All-Metal Mode helps accurately locate detected targets for easier recovery.
ADJUSTABLE FREQUENCY: Minimize interference from electrical sources or other detectors in crowded areas.
SEARCHCOIL COVER INCLUDED: Protective cover shields the searchcoil from scratches, rocks, and debris to extend coil life and maintain reliable detection performance.
A better coil and frequency control both feed into how deep this actually reaches - see our breakdown of how deep a metal detector can detect for realistic numbers versus box claims.
