How to use

Assemble the Garrett ACE 150 according to the included instructions, attach the searchcoil and insert the required batteries. Power on the detector and select appropriate sensitivity and discrimination settings for the environment: lower sensitivity in areas with heavy mineralisation or electrical interference, higher sensitivity in open, low-interference sites. Sweep the searchcoil in slow, overlapping passes close to the ground while listening for target tones and observing the target strength indicator. When a promising signal appears, narrow the sweep and use short passes to pinpoint the target before digging. Follow local regulations for recovery and site restoration.

Usage recommendations

For best results with the Garrett ACE 150, start with moderate sensitivity and minimal discrimination to learn typical signals for coins and jewelry, then adjust settings as you gain experience. Use a headphones connection if available to hear faint targets clearly, and avoid high-salt wet sand areas without appropriate ground balancing adjustments. Store the detector in a dry place and check batteries before extended outings.
