Garrett ACE 300i 7x10

Beginner-Friendly Metal Detector – Model 300i

The 300i is a great entry-level metal detector, designed for those just starting out with this exciting hobby. It’s user-friendly, thanks to a clear interface where every button serves a distinct function. The detector offers excellent value for money: it operates on an 8 kHz search frequency and includes five preset modes for detecting jewelry, coins, relics, or general metal search. There's also an option to set up a custom search mode.

The display shows the probable metal type and includes a handy depth indicator in centimeters. Unwanted iron items, like nails or bottle caps, can be easily excluded. The sturdy construction with a reinforced camlock shaft ensures comfortable, stable use during your search.

Target Identification via Numbers and Tones

This model includes both visual and numeric object identification. Each detected item is shown with a number between 1 and 99, indicating a specific metal or object type. At the same time, a segment on the display lights up to indicate the probable material—such as iron.

The 300i also provides distinct audio tones to help differentiate materials: a low tone for iron, a medium tone for gold and similar items, and a high tone for silver.

Adjustable Sensitivity & Notch Discrimination

You can adjust the sensitivity to control the detection depth. The discrimination function allows you to ignore unwanted targets. Specific ID ranges or number segments can be excluded (a process called "notching"), helping you find more valuable items and less junk.

Precision Pinpoint Function

The added pinpoint function helps you locate objects more accurately, making digging easier and more efficient.

Frequency Adjustment

To avoid interference from other detectors or electronic devices, the 300i features adjustable frequency. If you experience signal disturbance, you can easily switch to a different frequency.

Water-Resistant Components

While the control panel is not waterproof, the search coil and shaft are. This allows for use in shallow water—as long as the control box stays dry. It’s recommended to use a protective cover during rain.

Speed & Detection Performance

This detector stands out with its fast recovery time and solid depth range. It quickly responds to targets, especially useful when multiple items are close together. While other detectors may register a single signal, the 300i is able to distinguish separate objects.

Impressive Depth Capability

Equipped with a robust, water-resistant 17 x 25 cm (7 x 10 inch) search coil, this device can detect coin-sized objects up to 30 cm deep and larger items up to 1 meter.

Modern Entry-Level Detector with Proven Performance

Thanks to its lightweight design, intuitive controls, and bold appearance, this model is ideal for adults and children from age 10. Its reliability, ease of use, and durable build make it a favorite choice among beginner treasure hunters.
