Just starting with the 400i after 10 years out of the detecting world. Liking the machine a lot, but still figuring out how to best interpret what it's telling me. This vid has been very informative, thanks and keep on posting!
That's the kind of feedback I love, it's great to help a fellow detectorist. Don't let the iron audio put you off too easily, often good targets will have a little crackle to them. All metal is a great way to run it so you get a map of the ground, finding the iron often means finding old habitation. Good little machines.
Thanks for the info ! I have the Garrett 400 and I am learning to love it! It’s my first detector ... it just takes time and I certainly like the iron audio !!
Fantastic info and guidance with the 400i ! I’ve got the 400i with the NEL tornado coil. And standard coil. But I do like the iron audio advice ! Thank you 😁
Brilliant, garrett 400i .how lucky you are ,got my metal detector 2021,lock down for a year now we are free again ,been hard year not seeing no one 😢now im out in the park, found keys keys old car ,no coins yet thanks for your tips
Nice video mate. I purchased the 400i when it came out, I have to say it's a brilliant machine for the price.. found 8 hammered coins with mine on a local field near me which has been detected a few times within the last couple years, seems to do a lot better on ploughed fields in my opinion :)
@@MudMaxMetalDetecting I'm New to the game as well and would have liked to have heard the tones. Great Piece of film keep it up and I look forward to seeing your next one.
@@MudMaxMetalDetecting we all do mate. Keep up the good work. An idea for a video would be to show the best finds you have had and the strangest . Just a thought.
Maxing out the sensitivity actually unstabilises the receive loop making signals more erratic and bouncy. There's a crossover point where it starts to have a negative effect because the transmit loop in the coil destabilises the receive loop. Was more prodominant on the Ace 250 and Euroace but maxed out is still too much and you compromise your accuracy of the display. Tow it back a notch on quiet ground and two back on busy ground for a 400i. An extra block back if an Ace 250/Euroace.
I've just read what you said. When I have it on full sensitivity my detector some times goes mad is this cos it's on max sensitivity. As I'm learning g the 400i I thought maximum sensitivity means deeper is this true or not. But I lower my sesitivity by two blocks from top and it seems smoother.
Hey Max.... You are right.... "We are not writing history books" but one thing is sure we are having an amazing time searching for history..... Enjoyed the video..... ATB & HH Ian
Great video! I've been detecting with the 400i for the past 4 months or so and this video exactly sums up my experience with the machine. I started out by using Relic mode with a notch or three taken out and Iron Audio on, 9/10 sensitivity, which has been perfect for worked fields. I'm just starting to head out on old pasture with it now, not sure which will be the deepest setting, any ideas?
Getting better yes first iron little toy boat relics, coin mode got lots coins 1891 half penny .Two siver sixpence not much but getting better thank you
Iam useing the 400i with the 15in tourndo coil had lots of stuff with it and gos verry deep I use allmatal mode with the 1st 3 tackon off sensitivity 2 from top find it gos a bit deeper then picking a mod any info would be good so might try your setting top man thanks dinggers den tyson
Hi max new subscriber here and was just wondering if you could give some more info on the bag you use please as it looks very interesting as I’m looking to replace my old tool belt and don’t really like the bags available in the detecting range .. many thanks
Hi Andy, from Ebay mate. Search for "Molle Shoulder Bag" there's lots of options but hard to find my exact one now. These days I prefer a British Army smock, the pockets are huge and I find it more comfortable than bags. th-cam.com/video/1ic8ewzUT9s/w-d-xo.html
Hi Jet. The crotal bells were found with my Deus so it's a bit hard to say with the Garrett. I think the numbers were pretty high on the broken piece 70s I think.
Jet are you new to detecting have you always used the 400i I'm just gettin feed back as I'm new and it helps me to understand my 400i. Do you use it on full sensitivity mate or not down one or two.
Wow that's a tricky question, as I haven't used the AT's. I spoke to a dealer who said he was surprised at the amount of tech that Garrett had put in the 400i and suggested the machines were pretty close. If your in parks for shallower coins I would say the 400i will serve you well. I recommend you watch the Hoover Boys when Kurt reviews the 400i, as he usually uses a Pro. He spoke highly of the 400i. But in the end if your considering the AT series then I would say be patient, save the extra and go for the Max, why opt for the old AT when there is a better one?
I noticed when you were explaining what settings you prefer you had your sensitivity on maximum. Would you usually have it on that or a notch or two down? I’m never quite sure with mine and have read people saying to turn it down a bit even if you aren’t near any power lines. Cheers. Enjoy yours vids.
Hi There, usually I have it a notch off max but sometimes it runs fine on full. Having it a notch off max is not a bad idea, even two. It will still perform perfectly well buddy. All the best MMMD.

Next time with the 400i, might be nice to hear the beeps as you search, especially the Iron Audio. Good video. Shared.
Fair point mate, it would have made it more helpful. One for the future.
