Nobody reads this far down...what are you doing down here?
Put the arm strap to use bud. Once you do that the "nose heavy" thing won't be as bad.
I didn't see you use the iron audio. I use it all the time, it really helps.
I personally find it annoying and fatiguing to the brain in my iron infested soil. To each their own - glad you enjoy it!
Changed coil to the smaller garrett 250 coil still nose heavy. I was shocked both coils weight is the same .so arm cuff distance or weight of the stem is the problem. Fantastic video.
i think its funny how since this is a video Bout a garret metal detector theres garret fans tryin to stick up for the machine its a unbiased review about a detector and ive heard hunter talk about how good the build quality is
I enjoyed using it. People hear what they want to hear and read between lines not there.
There is a volume adjustment. Its called duct tape over the speaker holes.
They should have included a roll in the box.
iv'e been detecting for about 50 years, and i think the ACE400 is a good detector for any one
For a beginner into the intermediate range it is a good little detector for sure....but saying it is good for "any one" who has a far superior detector and skill range is a stretch of the imagination.
volume control is on the head phones line that comes with the detector, you can also buy the kit that comes with the pp.
Correct. My point being it does not have volume control on the unit itself. A negative in my opinion.
I’ve found a silver coin 1897 5 cents with this ACE 400. Beautiful find
I put tape over the speaker holes to quiet it down and peel it back when I want louder. I don't like headphones.
I'm running the 400 and I'm pleased for the price
waterproof would be nice though
Glad you are enjoying it! No waterproofing at that price lol. Thanks for watching and commenting.
GT Hunter he's the best thank you very much for your presentation we really enjoyed it immensely what a nice metal detector I am fronding because there's no volume control
You are too awesome Joe! Glad you enjoyed it. There is volume control on the headphones that come with it...just not the detector itself.
Hi from France, thanks for sharing. I own a AT pro and i have just received my Garrett 400i ; i like this machine and his yellow color ; the 400 i looks to be a good machine, sincerely.
Best of luck with it. It should do quite well for you in all but the worst soil.
This model comes with head phones and I believe they have volume control.
Nice review, I run the ace 250 right now with the nel tornado coil talk about nose heavy. But I have dug targets 13 to 16 in. So I will put up with it. Later this summer I am up grading to the AT PRO cant wait. I all so have a bounty hunter discovery 1100 for a cheap back up it will get down to 6 in with out a problem. And I have two 1970 machines just to look at they work but not like the new ones. Take care GL=HH \_
+REDBEAM58 Thanks for watching and commenting Redbeam! That Tornado would be way too heavy for me but I have heard good things about them. Best of luck and happy hunting this season. The AT Pro is a proven detector that will bring you tons of fun.
I think if you took more time to learn the machine and then do your testing that you would find that you will be more accurate and what you are actually saying about this particular machine before posting anything any video you should at least spend three to four days with the machine and different environments using all of the different controls that you have on the machine after doing that for 3 to 4 days then post whatever you want about the machine because at that time at that point you will be more accurate at what you are saying that's my opinion
Tony d Dailey Not a difficult machine to learn at all....plenty easy. Not sure what you are prattling on about.
Great fantastic mashine
I had fun with it.
Hi, Hunter, I have a question for your expertise. I just bought a used ACE 400 that hopefully will be here next week. I got it for $100! I had to make a deal with my wife since $$$$ is tight to sell one of my Bounty Hunters. I have a BH Tracker IV and a BH Tracker Pro. Both are in excellent condition. The Tracker Pro had an issue but I opened it up and found a loose cable and some cold solder joints. Fixed them and it's been working great. My question is if you could only keep 1 of those BH's which would it be? I thought I read somewhere that the Tracker Pro was basically a Tracker IV with a digital display and some software to turn signals into guesses of what's there. You do also have a depth reading. I have an idea which I'm going to keep, but I want to see what your expert opinion is. Thank You so much. I wish I could send our East Coast Rain out West for you all. Dave in Reading, PA
Hi Dave. Heck of a deal on that 400. I would personally keep the T4 since you already have a 400 on the way with a display and all that. The T4 has a WAY faster recovery speed than the Pro. Both are good...but the T4 is the more proven pick in my eyes. Wish it only took one 9v and was more ergo like the Pro...but the T4 would be my choice.
@@thehuntergt That was my choice too. In fact I’ve found items with the IV where the Pro didn’t show a signal. Thanks Much. Hope you’re having a better day.
Try using the Iron audio
coin mode sucks you need to use all relic mode it pick up coins a lot better.
I own a Minelab Xterra 705 and I'm hesitating to buy this new Garrett 400i ( "i" cause I live in France). I'm not sure it's a good idea or not. Ace 400i seems to be faster to ring but I'm not sure it goes deeper than my 705....
The Xterra will absolutely go deeper than the Ace 400. It costs 2X as much and is in a different class altogether. I would keep the 705 and save for a FBS Minelab if I were you. The Ace is faster on recovery speed...but that is about it. Good luck with your decision!
Need to start lifting weights if the machine is heavy lol
Patrick Leabo Need to start hitting the books if nose heavy and heavy means the same thing to you. Words matter. Comprehension is key.
I have ACE 300 and wonder how would you use these machines to read some Gold nuggets? If that's even possible. Otherwise I like the 300, but it gets heavy a bit so I switch arms.. LOL
Yeah it can be a bit nose heavy with the stock coil. Since it has no true all-metal mode with a threshold...I would not personally use it for gold prospecting. It will definitely hit a larger nugget...but those are super rare obviously.
@@thehuntergt - the 300 Looks like good machine for everything else. Maybe not great for Gold and Salt water. M.
About the nose heavy problem... Could you not add a weight to the end of the arm rest to balance it?
+Ry That is a solution yes - but keep in mind you are just adding more weight to the detector itself when doing that. You may still get shoulder fatigue. I did not - but others may especially after adding a counter weight.
The smaller 8X5 coil fixed the nose heavy issue instantly.
+TheHunterGT Ah that's good to know. The 400i is on my wish list if I can ever afford to upgrade from my Viking 6 haha. Great work, keep the vids coming.
+Ry Thank you for watching! More vids on the way! My impressions after roughly 15 hours of using it are fairly favorable. There are a few negative points like all detectors but many of them are nit-picky. The positives absolutely outweigh the negatives and I'm looking forward to shooting the review video coming up.
Is the ace 400 better than the AT PRO? I want to start detecting beaches and parks but don’t know which machine to get.
Wonka The Pro is the better machine.
I also wish it had an led light on the screen.
That and about 3-4 other features and it would be a great unit. I cannot forgive them for not adding ground balance and a All-Metal mode.
Is a Garrett Ace 400 Water Proof like the Garrett AT Pro?
No it is not....just the coil and rod up to the control box.
Great video man thanks💚💚✊🏾
Thanks for watching!
Ciao bravo , bella recensione .-)
+Iron Palazzo Grazie. Sono contento che ti sia piaciuto.
Some pennies are worth thousands of dollars
what do you guys think is better the ace 400 or AT pro i cant decided
I hear from the Garrett hardcore that the bridge between the Ace 400 and the AT Pro is pretty narrow. I would think the AT Pro is a bit deeper and handles poor dirt a bit better. I have never used one but hope to have one for review in the coming months. Have a few friends with one and will probably borrow one of theirs for some testing.
In medium to good soils....I think they would be fairly comparable.
TheHunterGT so what do you think is should go with
That is up to you. If you have the $ the AT Pro is the better detector.
Must be a reason the AT pro is $300 more.
Waterproofing alone is most likely $150-200 on the price. The other $100 into the features/depth/performance etc etc. Grain of salt of course...I'm no MD builder.
What would gold show as?
Anywhere from 30 to 60 depending on size.
thanks.I am just starting to get interested in this.I was looking at maybe buying one of these for my first "real" detector.I have a $40 dollar harbor freight one and $15 pinpointer from there.I have found the same things that you have found with the Garrett.Is it really worth spending that much if I am finding similar things with my cheap one?The Harbor freight pin pointer is not sensitive enough though on some things.Have to almost touch them to get a signal.Such as a penny standing on end.
duct tape on the audio ports
Everyone whining about nose heavy machines , got muscles? Lol
Mentioning and whining are two different things. Seeing as how a huge weight lifter cannot hold 5 pounds at arms length for more than a few minutes...physics seems to over-rule your train of thought. Back of the line with you -
next Garrett fanboy step right up!
ace 300 will do just as good job you'll just miss more with the 400
I think people want to see you swinging the metal detector! Not just showing what you finding just my opinion!
Well then by all means get to making those videos for the people then!
poo
This video gave me a headache. Your voice got so annoying i wanted to scream. Give it a rest man!
I'm sure your voice sounds like angels singing Big Dog...more like Small Puppy.
@@thehuntergt lol did you just call me a small puppy? Thats brutal...
