In the beginning of 2005 Garrett has let out on the market cheap and quite worthy model Ace150, it was the new coil in manufacture not expensive, qualitative metal detectors from Garrett. Two versions of new models Ace are issued, it is 150 and 250. For today it is possible to tell that these detectors were generally recognised, both in the homeland of the detector in the USA, and in Russia and on all post-Soviet territory.
Ace 150 has not something in common with the first models Ace, these are absolutely new decisions in this ruler. Both Garrett Ace 150/250 yellow colours, have satisfactory ergonomics and easy enough on weight. As soon as you include Ace 150, all options are easy for understanding, three buttons the control panels located on a face sheet. 1. Mode 2.Sensitivity and 3. Power. LCD the display is moderately informative. The target index, better to say the cursor, specifies by search in one of 5 segments, identifying the purpose on prototypes established in the detector, it: ferrous metals, stoppers, coins etc. the depth Index shows approximate depth to the found out purpose, 2, 4, or 6 inches. Is also the index of a condition of batteries when your power supplies will sit down, you will see it. Otstrojka from a mineralization of a ground the automatic. Illuminations of the display are not present. Working frequency 6.5 Khz. There is a sound discriminator.
Mode Mode specifies, what program of search is established at present. Ace 150 has three independent programs of search: Coins, Jewelry and All metals. The discriminator 5 segment. A food of 4 batteries of type AA which will feed your detector in a current approximately 40 hours if they are Energaizer or Duracell. It is possible to establish and accumulators of the same type. The exit on ear-phones naturally is available, wish to save a little a life of batteries and not to irritate surrounding with a ring from the device, use ear-phones.
Field tests
By tradition we have tested ACE 150 on our test platform, have checked up reaction to the good and so-called bad purposes. As one would expect, ACE 150 worked not badly, defined the purposes precisely enough and cut as not badly. Work in the built in programs, especial did not shine with anything, I at all the supporter of all these factory options but to check up, always does not disturb. With new coil Proformance work Garrett as a whole has a little improved, in comparison with Crossfire less than phantom signals.
We tried ACE 150 and on a beach, anything especial, as one would expect, is mistaken on gold/aluminium, as well as all detectors. The ergonomics at worthy level, only 1.2 kg, a hand do not strain weight in general. Displejchik it is obviously not enough small, 5 segments of the discriminator, all is simple enough, but, all that is necessary to a beginner, on a kind. The index of depth of the purpose is rather weak. The only thing that does not suffice this model, it Pinpoint. And so, coins advantage 5 kop the USSR, in a mode all metals (the discriminator does not exclude metals) and sensitivity almost on a maximum (without last division), - 20 see 2 kop the USSR – 17 see the Buckle from a soldier's belt of the USSR – 28-30 see As much as possible 80 - 90 sm – the car. The test air.
The resume
What is in this model, it is the price. Possibilities of the detector more less for such machine, a beach, search of curiosities on rather not to a deep water. Presence LCD and label Garrett, 2 years of a guarantee and certainly coil Proformance play the role, anyway to name its bad or weak detector I cannot, on the contrary, 8 + from 10 points as I stated above, a unique minus – absence of a static mode of search “Pinpoint”. For beginning searchers, will approach to stati.
