- We return to one of our favourite WW2 Australian Army camp areas on our first field outing with the new Garrett ACE 300i & 400i detectors. The day produces some great coin & relic finds, along with a real surprise find made by Colleen with the ACE 300i on her very first outing. We also run through the new features on the updated ACE range. Happy Fossicking! Colleen & Warren. www.garrettaustralia.com.au www.outdoortactical.com.au www.nqexplorers.com

Watching from the England, love my history and always wanted to metal detect, I've been pulling my hair out over which one to get, this has made my mind up. Looking forward to getting my 400i. Great video and thank you.
I've been using my Ace 250 for years im really excited about the 400 great video and finds best of luck to y'all
+Les Bell Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Les - all the best mate and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
Great video guys, yet again Colleen out detects you Warren! Looked like great fun.
+Gold Diggers Metal Detectors Thanks for commenting Ben - all the best mate and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
As usual, great video. Love the commentary. Really helps me with my detecting when i can get out. Adding the 400 to my arsenal this week. It will join the SDC, AT Gold, XTerra 305. Not greedy, just like to cover my bases! Thanks for sharing your adventures guys, i always look forawrd to the next one from you two. Thanks. Stuart.
I share your amazement at finding a hammered coin, but like you say a coin collector would buy one of them and keep it with him until he got home. I know that I would lol 😀. The new machines certainly work brilliantly in the conditions, its great that you explain how to use them. I am not able to detect due to my disabilities but I would if I could. Thank you Colleen and Warren for another great video. Take care, good luck 🍀 and happy hunting, Mary-Ellen UK 🙋 👍
+M Johnson Thank you for your great comment Mary-Ellen. We really appreciate you watching our videos and find it very satisfying that the work we put into them is appreciated. All the very best from 'Down Under' - Happy Fossicking! Warren and Colleen.
A hammy, what a great find. You are right Warren, this is a great and interesting hobby and you never can tell what will pop out next, but I would never have thought of a hammy in NQ. Another entertaining video W & C, thank you.
+Walter Kerr Thanks for your great comment Walter - we do appreciate it - all the best mate and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
You two had a great spin on this adventure.......hammered ticket.....super nice..Good luck on your next adventure.
+gravediggermax Thanks for your great comment Max - all the best mate - Happy Fossicking! Warren & Colleen.

Looking forward to the next video.

+Digging Australia Thanks for commenting on the video Jacob - keep up your own great videos and Happy Fossicking mate! Warren.
Good field test of the 300I , and 400I . Good digs as well . Best of Luck and HH on your next outing .
+AmericanCoinHunting Thanks for watching and commenting Dave - all the best mate and Happy Fossicking! Warren and Colleen.
Holy cow Colleen!! A Henry long cross Groat. That is just beyond amazing. It's not the find of the day, it's the find of a lifetime. Now I know most people don't agree with me, but I put a big ol' silver hammy like that above a gold coin. As rare as it is to dig a gold coin, it's just so ultra rare to see anything hammered here in the USA that I might expire on the spot if I ever dug one.
Funny, when NQ took it out of your hand and showed it to the camera, I shouted "No way, are you serious?!" and then a few seconds later he says "Are you serious?" LOL I think I need a beer now. Cheers to you both! HH
Thanks for that great comment Mars - yes we actually sat down on a log for 10 minutes just stunned. One of those days that you can only have metal detecting! All the very best mate - Happy Fossicking! Warren and Colleen.
Maybe it was a good luck charm for one of the guys from WWII...Nice video
The higher target ID's will be due to the coil frequency difference i believe. My X-Terra target id has slight variations when i change the coil to a different frequency. The New Garretts look like great machines and easy to use. Great video guys. Love your work. Thanks for the great vids.
+Darcy May Thanks for your comment Darcy, the target IDs are definitely higher than on an AT Pro International, but very easy to adjust to. Garrett have actually designed the International 'i' models with higher IDs, a .925 Florin will hit '99'. Cheers mate and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
Any more planned hunts with the new Ace series. Would like to see it in some more action. Cheers from the west coast of the US
Great video lovely people I’m away out with my new 300i to find something here in Ireland 👍👍
I was watching this because I'm thinking about buying the Acer 300 after seeing you find hammered silver I think I'm going to go ahead and order it 😁
Nice video again Warren and cograts to collen to that hammered coin. Haven't been out for a long time here around Berlin. But trying to do so in the next days to geta new video out on screen.
Greetings from Berlin
Uli
Great video.
Good on ya Colleen finding that hammy!
I just might upgrade my Ace 250 to a newer Ace model.
Best regards
+SuperLaplander Thanks for commenting, you will find the new 400i is a huge improvement over the 250, which itself was a brilliant machine. All the best and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
+SuperLaplander It was exactly what I did: I upgraded to a 400i from a 250. And I can promise that you will not be disappointed. 400i is unbeatable for its price! Very deep, and with the new frequency of 10 kHz, it can detect very small objects.
Wow Great find Collen.
+dcox01 Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on our video. All the best and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
I check every day for one of your new video
+Ed Smith Thanks for watching our videos Ed - we usually put one up every 10 days to a fortnight. All the best mate and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
I think it's a henry the sixth half groat .seriously well done for finding it and another ace video.
+LUDO Thanks for watching and commenting - much appreciated! All the best and Happy Fossicking! Warren and Colleen.
incredible find, congrats.
That hammy looks real enough to me :O Wow!
+Alan Glass Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Alan - Happy Fossicking mate! Warren.
Great finds 👍👍
Wow on finding a hammered in australia! I remembered the sovereign but a hammered now aswell.... you'll have to lift your game now warren lol ;)
+Outdoorsaustralia Thanks for watching and commenting - and yes Colleen is on the board once again with a rare and surprising find! All the best mate and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
Excellent video and hunt ! Big Congrats Colleen on finding hammerd silver, Way To Goooooooooo Colleen ! Colleen tell Warren to leave your hammer silver alone , the nerve of that guy trying to down grade it to a Fake bad on you Warren just because you didn`t find it ! LOL Hey I really enjoy the video and I thought I would poke a little fun there Warren ! Good luck on ya`ll next hunt ! Warren it your turn to find one now, because you know there has to be another one there, whoever lost that one probably lost another one also. Ha ! Ha !
+Yulelah Thanks for your great comment Yulelah - Colleen has outdone me as usual - will have to learn to leave her at home next trip LOL. All the best mate, look forward to your next trip out. We are on our way to the US next January - might to a road trip through the south - will let you know if we are passing through Arkansas! Cheers mate and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
great hammered coin they would nibble the change off the edges
So now that you have used the 400 a good bit, how close to the AT pro is it. I understand the difference in power, but can you put in lay mans terms? Is it close to the pro or not even comparable?.
Thanks for watching and commenting. The 400i has very good iron discrimination, it actually does identify small, flat iron better than an AT Pro. Target IDs are 'slewed' much higher, around 10 points greater than an AT Pro. Yes the 400i has closed the gap a long way, but being a fixed ground balance machine, it will start to 'chatter' in mineralised soils, whereas the AT Pro can just be re-ground balanced (and is waterproof too). If your hunting environment is fairly neutral, the 400i is an absolute ripper and very powerful, with that outstanding iron identification feature. I can't recommend it highly enough. Cheers mate. Warren.
+NQExplorers Thanks for the quick response. I'm new to the hobby and the Ace 400 can be had for 260 dollars less than the Pro. I live on the west coast of the US. Not sure of the mineralized soils around here. Trying to decide if I should go for the Ace or hold out a bit longer for the Pro. It's only money right? Again, thanks for the response and I thoroughly love watching your videos. Would love to visit Australia some day. Cheers
Would you say that the 400 is way better than the 300? Or is the 300 close enough? Save the money or spend the money?
I would spend the money - you get the larger DD coil, better for mineralisation, and the Iron Check feature on the 400i is outstanding, it saves a lot of digging. In the end depends on your budget. The 300i is an awesome machine, once you learn the Target IDs for particular coins and targets etc, you can 'cherry pick' good signals from among the bad. Hope this helps mate. Happy Fossicking! Warren.
@@NQExplorers good video, I got the 300i with the 11 inch dd coil, it never had the original stock coil (second hand) I now have a 15 inch detech coil for it too. Great videos
Nice vid !
Whats better ace 300 or ace 400 im new to detecting & im a grown man. Which is better??
Brad I would go with the ACE 400 if your budget can stretch as it has more features and comes with a DD searchcoil. This allows it to operate in more mineralisation or salt areas than a 300. Great for dry sand beach and general bush/park detecting. Cheers mate. Warren.
I been trying to order one of these but it's says give a valid address hell my address is the only one I have that's pissing me off .
Hard to say warren with the hammered coin .. The fakes generally have a mark on them recognisable . Best bet is to post it on English forum they will know straight away .
Congrats
Only heard of another , modern drop.. Be strange to have it Brought back most likely tho mate .. Not a ancient drop but a nice find .
Happy hunting
Regards

+john24gold1 Thanks for your comment John - we are going to have it appraised at a coin shop and see if we can verify its authenticity. Cheers mate and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
No closed captions.
damit I've had enough..I'm buying a 300I on line ...
good info
i dont understand your reaction to the hammered coin Auss was a english provence so why would their not be coins
G'day James - as you point out, Australia was colonised by the British, but not until 1788. This coin dates from more than 300 years prior to that, so hammered coins were long out of circulation by the late 1700s, and are unheard of in Australia. Thanks for your comment and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
+NQExplorers oh ok now I understand
If a roo halfpenny comes in at 91, what the hell would a 925 Florin do? O,o
+DrFelonious The tone ID readings are higher than on an AT Pro International. A pre-1946 .925 Florin rings at a solid '99'. The IDs are consistent and reliable, the new ACEs just love the old pre-decimals and are so easy to use. Thanks for watching and commenting - Happy Fossicking! Warren.
go Colleen!
+greg w. Thanks for commenting Greg- Happy Fossicking mate! Warren.
Colleen WELL DONE YOU ~
( How many times have I stepped around that very log myself ? ~ )
That coin HAS to be framed . Folks !
Good philosophy too Warren ~ We say ~ "NO SITE IS EVER DONE AND DUSTED!!"
Well done ~ Have to watch her mate ~ Seems Colleen is a bit of demon when it comes to finding those rare items !!
+Stuart SS Thanks for commenting Stuart - good luck and Happy Fossicking mate! Warren.
