In depth test of a Garrett Ace 350 Metal detector
Buried coins and targets into simulated controlled soil conditions
using a point system to compare with other detectors eventually
The Ace 350 scored a 33 out of 70
Overall pretty decent turn on and good detector with good separation but does not distinguish bottlecaps well. Awesome pinpoint and ok depth
though I had some problem with sea water It also th-cam.com/users/postUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn
Not sure how anyone could give this a thumbs down . This guy is great !!!
***** Hey, thanks for the compliment. Appreciated
Thank you so much, this was very detailed and I like details. Thanks for doing several sweeps on each object so I have time to see the display and hear the audio. I just got a 350 myself.
No problem. They are pretty nice detectors for the money
Thank You! I am a beginner. I have been researching detectors online and based upon your review I have just purchased the Garrett Ace 350. I hope I won't hit too many bottle caps here in NYC, lol. Other than that flaw, it seems like a great unit for a beginner at an affordable price for a brand new unit at $275.
Ok, We're two years down the road now. Are you happy with the 350?
found a penny at about 13-14'' in sand with my ace 350 and it identified it dead on as well.
This video really helped me on figuring out the tones better. I will be using it as a reference in the future! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the vid . I Just Took A Pioneer 505 Back AND picked up the ace 350 . I was hoping to pick up a eurotek pro or sliver umax but they didn't have either . Hope I made the right choice
Thanks for the honest breakdown! I plan on buying this one friday and it has a nice pinpointer with it. Kinda looking forward to moving up from my cheesy harbor freight. But for a super cheap detector the harbor and frieght kinda blew my mind. Sometimes simple metal detectors are pretty good. Just looking forward to some better disc with the garrette. Will eventually get an AT pro or a minelab equinox 800 but thats later down the road. I love history! Best of luck all! Beeb, beeb!
i just get onegarrett 350 this morning :) i wish good luck to myself :) thanks for this video. (Tijuana, Mex.)

In essence; yes.
I'd really need the schematic of this board, and because of that, I can't really know if a microprocessor or microcontroller is incorporated into the unit.
Generally speaking, for real time tasks, a microcontroller is used.
So my guess would be that Garrett haven't radically upgraded their microcontroller, that's why the system is slow and lagging.
I used to have a fisher F2 and it was notably quicker in than the reviewed Garrett detector.
I say "used to have," because it broke within the first week of using it.
So I won't ever recommend that system.
I thought this video was a great review of the system, you carried it out commendably sir.
Thank you.
Thanks Jesse, oops I mean scannerguy. This was a very nice piece on the 350. Keep up the good work.
Only a few minutes in to your video nice review just picked up an ace 350 for 150 bucks but got home to late is dark so ready to test it out tomm
I've had the V3i and minelabs. Were better but not a ton. Good detector for the money from what I have seen.
Had seen that. I looks like u have some pretty electronics. Watched the gimbal vid u have and was just eyeballing a phantom quadcopter at the same time not realizing they made these gimbals for stuff like that. I had sold my V3i and explorer II due to kids in the way but kinda getting the bug again so am gonna buy/test then sell to see what's the best bang for the buck. Also ready to take the plunge on a Nikon D7100, had thought about the 7D but need a very high ISO low noise 4 Time lapse stuff
J.K. Simmons talking?
***** Yes! Could be as well
Great review scannerguy.Any one ever tell you you sound like Jessie Ventura?
Thank you so much.
garrett ace 350 deeper with nel tornado or storm coil.
Ciao , bella spiegazione , io ho metal detector euro ace 350 per Europa , ottimo
Can I ask a question please? What metal detector would you recommend in the +/-$200 range, for finding coins, jewelry, and civil war relics?
Garrett ace 300 for that price. They would be reliable
scannerguy1968 what would be your opinion between the fisher f44 and the Garrett ace 400?
looking at the 350,and the 250 which is worth getting? im a beginner so what are your thought.Also how deep do they detect ?
Go with the 350. It has pinpointing which makes it easier to fine tune the dig when finding a target and also you can program it to look for specific targets. As well as a larger DD coil. I would say these detectors would find a quarter at 7 Inches. Dime maybe 5
Good job, thanks.
Honestly. I use the Ace 350 and i can tell the difference between a bottle cap and a quater.. but i dig them anyway cause you never know.
for first metal detector should I get AT Gold or ACE 350. I know the At gold is like double the money but I would hate to miss out on pulling stuff out of the ground. Thanks
Depending on what you are looking for I guess. The AT runs at a higher Freq. for gold. Silver is best to find with a lower freq. machine. If you are looking tp spend more than what the 350 garret is. There are some whites detectors or minelabs that will do better. Used Minelabs as in the Explorer models are awesome for going deep and around 4-500 bucks
Hello thanks for the video! But I have a question I need to buy one of this for my daddy as a gift but I can't find it saying how deep it detects the metals would you please tell me?
Depends on the frequency the detector is working, the lower it is the deeper it goes, but, best is to buy a detector wich works with several frquencies ot one time so you get all finds deep or close to top, sucsses and a lot of pleasure for your fathe ;-)
When you tested the bottle cap i dont think you had discrimination on. Early in the video you said discrimination was off. I would kinda like to see with it on :/
+johnny blaze It was off due to being able show how it rings up. Disc on it still is hit and miss. About like many detectors
Jez, 300 dollars is cheap? No dude, 90 dollars is cheap for a metal detector. Nice video though and thank you for your review.
I know actually 300 bucks may not be cheap but dealing with detectors it kinda is. Guess I was meaning bang for the buck. I've had many all the way up to 1800 into a V3i. You get quite a lot for the price on this detector compared to price of more expensive ones. But of course you'll get the results of as much as you spend unless you get lucky hunting.
Im new to metal detecting and don't know which one to buy can you help me ?i have my 5 years old grandson whit me and want to do that toghter he's very excited about it , thank you for your time.
+Joe Guzman A good start is a garrett ace 250. But if you like detecting you'll outgrow it in a month and want better. Get him a bounty hunter JR. He'll like it and won't break the bank.
if I'm searching on the beach can i submerge the coil in the water? leaving the screen part above the water thanks I hope I did make sense
+mywifehatesguns c Yes you can submerge it. Coil anyways.
scannerguy1968 thanks for the info and good videos
I got my garret ace 350 and I put it on coins setting and medium sensitivity and when I go detect it just beeps randomly I even Hel it strait in the air and it did a few beeps and when I think there is something in the ground it says always 8+ inch
Might be a bad coil the way it sounds. Only thing you can do is check connections, batteries. If you can get ahold of another coil to test it would be the best bet. From what you are saying, it should not do that. It will chirp off and on though. Other thing is emi or electrical interference. Go somewhere out away from everything and keep any cell phone off.
+scannerguy1968 yea I keep my cell phone in my pocket

Do many metal detectors tend to pickup bottle caps in that fashion?
Some do. About the only way to tell is to test it. Some do way better than others. Such as the newer Whites V3i. It will give you a specific color on the graph letting you know its a bottle cap.
So what is the best metal detector you have, that you have had the most success with?
The Fors Core of late. I use to own the v3i and found a lot with it but had sold it 3 years ago. price wise. the Core.
I find the bell tone extremely annoying & would not purchase this detector because of this. Now if there was a mod to get rid of the bell tone i would purchase the 250 model.
Is this detector good for the beach?
Hey my ace 350 I giving me false signals non stop can you give some advice?
Mark Fortunato I would recommend playing around with different sensitivity levels. If it gets really bad to where the sensitivity won't fix it you can always call Garrett about it. They may be able to tell you how to fix the problem or tell you to send it in to the factory. I hope this was helpful. GL & HH!
I just saw a really well done video here on TH-cam that compared the Garrett 250 Ace and the 350 Ace. There was very little appreciable difference. Kind of a rip-off from Garrett in my opinion.
Doc Robby
👍👍👍
Just from a programming point of view, I can tell this detector is very low spec hardware.
The half hits take ages to register before the alert is free to ping again.
NWOization Just asking, would that be considered processing power? never really stopped to think why some are that way. But good point.
Hi can I use it for gold nuggets ??
+Stonewall Jack the 350 will get you used to ground balance>??? how is that when the 350 doesnt have any ground balance?...its pre set!
Jesse Ventura?
