Popular entry ACE — proven coin-hunting VLF
The Garrett ACE 250 is one of the most popular entry detectors ever made, with proven coin-hunting performance and straightforward Garrett controls. It remains a sensible first machine for hunters who want a little more capability than the ACE 200. Garrett built it for beginners and casual weekend hunters. Neighborhood lawns, school grounds, and old picnic areas are classic ACE 250 hunting spots.
