I was just going out with this unit to get used to it, and ended up filming a field test. This really is a good machine. Easy to use, well built, fast recovery speed, and good depth.
The hollow nut with the nipple looks like an old vacuum hose fitting or something similar. I just ordered the Ace 400 55TH Anniversary model, so videos like this make it look like I made a good choice! Now just have to familiarize myself with it and find good places to go detect at!
Started with a garrett Ace 250 a year ago , ended up buying the At pro few days ago. I think I will probably stick to garrett. Very good detectors. I liked your video , you put a lot of effort to it , so I subscribed. Thank you for taking me to your adventure. Greeting from Belgium , Europe. Good luck to you
Hey I know this is an old video but good job. I just got an ACE 400. Moving up from a Bounty Hunter Tracker IV & Tracker Pro. Haven’t even been able to try it yet. Hopefully tomorrow. What camera were you using? Do you remember if you had an external mic. Sounded good. I’m hoping to get an action camera to record my finds. Thanks, Dave in PA.
I HAVE THE GARRETT ACE 400 AND I LOVE MINE IT FINDS GOLD AS WELL I FOUND A REVOLUTIONARY WAR MUSKET WITH MY MACHINE AS WELL AS CANNON BALLS AND SOME VERY OLD COINS AND JEWERLY AS WELL I ALSO USE THE ATPRO AND ATMAX BUT I LOVE MY ACE 400
That pawn looking thing may be some kinda zerts fitting? Nice hunt! I'm getting used to my ace 400. I've been out two days with it and absolutely love it so far.
i was impressed with this machine as well. pulled a BB pellet among trash at 4" and that was my first hunt with this machine. faster recovery speed...the bottle cap ID seems like the zincs but if you use the iron ID it would give you hint that it ain't coin that is what i noticed. square tabs has bell tone but it jumps on ID so another indication that it ain't coin... nice video and location Carolina Hunter. more video on the ace please! HH
That Garrett Ace 400 looks like an awesome detector. Didn't know it was that good. I know this is over 4 years later, but I hope you are doing well. Haven't seen any detecting videos from you lately. Hope you are doing ok.
New to hunting myself, grandparents did it and had great luck. I'm in the SE part of New Mexico on the Pecos River hoping I can have the same luck as yourself with my new Ace 400 when it arrives. Not sure where I'm going to start or what I'm hoping to find, but something is better than nothing.
Good hunt. Can you dig a few holes and bury some silver dimes with a rusty nail or very close to it and see what tone it gives and what numbers would show that would be interesting. Also a rusty bottle cap and a new bottle cap in a hole like 7" down by themselves and see what numbers they show? I know its a tall order. Im actually interested in this machine for my son so that would be helpful. Thanks.
Nice vid, thanks for sharing. I've been detecting for years and have not yet been able to find a buffalo nickle. Maybe once my new 400 arrives. It's on its way from Kellyco right now. As far as beach detecting goes, walk parallel to the water. As you get in wetter soil, the auto ground balance will help it to run smooth, at least as good as it is engineered. Backing down on the sensitivity will also help. Some detectors just hate salt water, others are fair. Using a pulse machine is the best.
Hey what’s going on brother I don’t know for sure but the little metal buttons might be off a pair of long Johns from way back when they had a trap door in the rear ya know lol great video thank you 🙏
Do you luv your Ace 400, I just a buddy of mine into it, he got ace 400, we was out today, he caretaker of church camp I been doing for 30+ yrs I hope he likes his new 400, nice finds with your ace 400 I would be tried too walking all the paths HH ! & GL !
How would you compare to the treasurepro? Just picked up one recently. I read your results about using beach mode and how it seemed to help boost depth a little. Cool video by the way and looks like a really good machine.
Interesting finds...I found an identical button to the 4 you found...the little two hole shiny ones....I could not ID them either...let me know if you found out any info on them...great videos.
What's the name of the falls you were in, that old broken wood and tree trunk reminded me of a hiking trip me and my kids were on this past summer? Thanks for sharing...
Great video. I'm looking to buy my first detector. My son has an ace 150 but I'm looking at either the 400i retailing at £279 or the AT PRO at £518. Which do you recommend for a newbie considering the AT PRO is nearly double the price. I live in the UK by the sea. Thanks.
I think the 400 is a good choice. It's depth and recovery speed are very good. The bell tone will stop you in your tracks over a high conductor, like a silver coin. With it's ease of use I think it would be a great way to get started.
How much gold you find? How much money you make? Garret 400 is very expensive..do you think money becomes back? Whit 400 euro price machine can buy a big gold.
Yea, had the same thing happen to my ACE 150 when I first started detecting and fried it completely. Could try drying it out but the control boxes on the ACE series detectors are not waterproof and when the do get a good amount of water in them it pretty much fries everything.
Thanks for the response. Well today it powered up but seems to be acting crazy. Haven't had a chance to legitimately test it yet though to know for sure.
If its still under warranty you can check what Garrett can do about it. They have great customer service but don't know their coverage for incidents like that with machines.
+fhpd350 I'd give it a couple of days to dry out with the battery compartment off, then give it another shot. It can take a while for all the moisture to evaporate. Hopefully it will function properly. If not, I'm sure Garrett would take a look at it. Great customer service from those guys. I'm sure a repair would be much cheaper than buying a new unit, but I'd give it a few days to dry first.
У нас в России его не продают еще, 400 долларов это много для него, x-terra 705 больше функций, баланс грунта, геологический режим, 3 частоты, подсветка, 99 тонов, а цена почти одинакова! не стоит он таких денег, у меня ace 250 я замучился копать ржавое железо, оно пищит цветным сигналом! не поймешь монета или железо! приходится копать все подряд горы металлолома! я устал от него!

Could be a brake bleeder nipple too.
Great video. That Ace 400 looks like a good little machine. Thanks for sharing.

I ALSO LIVE NEAR WEST POINT NY THERE IS TONS OF HISTORY AROUND WHERE I LIVE
That pawn looking thing may be some kinda zerts fitting? Nice hunt! I'm getting used to my ace 400. I've been out two days with it and absolutely love it so far.
Ace 400 appears to work well for a mid level machine! It would make for a great all rounder from the results you found! HH from Florida
i was impressed with this machine as well. pulled a BB pellet among trash at 4" and that was my first hunt with this machine.

With all of those finds (nice Silver, Buff ect) you had a good hunt for sure.
+DetectingtheBurgh Thanks Keith. It was fun :)

I don't think he heard you
Awesome hunt and nice finds. I hope all is well there. Haven't seen a new video from you in awhile.

+Capt. Bob Roemer Thanks for watching, and good luck with your detecting!

From a field test to a great hunt nice review.
+forest stinnett Thanks Forest. I appreciate you watching!

It's a very good detector. That camp should produce some interesting finds. Best of luck!
Awesome haul. Just subbed your channel.

+Allen Oxendine Glenn Burney Falls. Thanks for watching!
+Carolina Coin Hunter I thought that looked familiar, that's the spot we visited. Check my video from our hiking trip. Thanks...
Allen Oxendine Cool, I will.
Good job I love your videos
What kind of digging tool was that?
What is the best to buy? Garret 250 or garret 400i or?
Great video. I'm looking to buy my first detector. My son has an ace 150 but I'm looking at either the 400i retailing at £279 or the AT PRO at £518. Which do you recommend for a newbie considering the AT PRO is nearly double the price. I live in the UK by the sea. Thanks.

+Carolina Coin Hunter. Thanks alot for your speedy response.
great video I got ace350 thinking and going to ace 400
Thanks Larry. I really like the 400. Good luck with your detecting!
What's the small device you use once you've located a relic/coin?
Great Hunts.
Thanks! Best regards!
How much gold you find? How much money you make? Garret 400 is very expensive..do you think money becomes back? Whit 400 euro price machine can buy a big gold.
trying to decide to buy this machine or the Whites treasure hunter, any help
How does the ace 400 compare to the whites treasure pro
do you know what gold coins ring up as
14k wedding band rings up at 76 on my 400.
I lost my footing crossing a creek today and slipped and completely submerged my entire Ace 250. Now it won't power up. grrr. Anyone had this happen?
Yea, had the same thing happen to my ACE 150 when I first started detecting and fried it completely. Could try drying it out but the control boxes on the ACE series detectors are not waterproof and when the do get a good amount of water in them it pretty much fries everything.

Thank you.
I'm pretty new to the hobby and hated to damage my new toy. I'll remove the batteries and hope it works better soon.
I have to say that ive never liked the bell tone thing that Garrett has going on with the ace, and the at series. its kinda harsh on my ears.

Hell ya man!
How do you think the ace 400 will work on wet sand on a FL. beach
It will probably work if you disc out iron and foil. You may not get a whole lot of depth, but it should do very well on the dry sand.
