Garrett ace 350 specifications. Control and sensitivity
A new model from Garrett, which complements the legendary line of Garrett Ace metal detectors. Ace 350 Euro - is an excellent entry-level metal detector, but at the same time with high sensitivity. Compared to other entry-level devices (for example), the Garrett ACE 350 Euro has become even more powerful and at the same time completely stable from "phantom" signals.
We can recommend this model to all novice searchers and more experienced treasure hunters who want to get best option price, quality and depth. Ace 350 can be used as a universal detector for any kind of search: antiquity (coins, artifacts), treasure hunting, gold jewelry search on beaches, military archeology. Its versatility is the merit of Garrett's many years of experience in designing and manufacturing metal detectors.
The main difference between ICQ 350 is the new coil, which is made using DoubleD (DD) technology. This is what makes the 350 head and shoulders above all its counterparts that are typically equipped with Mono coil technology. Of course, it should be noted that the vast majority of entry-level detectors are equipped with Mono coils in order to reduce the cost of the detector and make it more accessible to beginner searchers. However, it is the Garrett Ace 350 Euro that is the borderline option, because it is the cheapest detector that is equipped with a DD coil.
The sensitivity zone of the new coil and the separation zone are in the photo below. On the one hand, the coil perfectly separates nearby targets (for example, when a coin lies next to a nail), on the other hand, it has a long capture zone for a quick search (in the longitudinal direction).
Features of the vortex on Double-D coils.
Of course, more professional detectors, in accordance with their well-deserved ones, are always equipped only with DD coils, but do not forget that even though the unit of such a metal detector as the Ace 350 does not have even half of the professional functions, its coil allows you to pick up signals from a greater depth. Many novice searchers choose the right path, having once bought a simple detector like Ace 150 \ 250 or other analogues (for example, etc.), they tend to buy a more powerful coil for them than to sell and, adding a little money, immediately buy a professional detector with DD reel and a bunch of new features. Of course, the first option is cheaper and you don't have to spend time on mastering it, as in the case of changing the detector. However, the secret lies precisely in the fact that even the "old horse", which was a detector with a Mono coil, can continue to amaze with finds if it is helped with the scanning depth in the form of a DD coil. It's not a secret and it's not even disputed that DD technology is the best at the moment, and this is what encourages people to buy both original coils and third-party companies that have proven themselves in this area. For example, the company's 13-inch coils are even more powerful, even compared to the standard DD from Garrett Ace 350. With the Garrett Ace 350 Euro metal detector, Garrett proves to everyone once again that it is the leader in the production of affordable hobby metal detectors. and with excellent performance.
According to many sources, the Garrett Ace 350 model will become the bestseller in the coming years, just thanks to great combination prices and search depth!
The main and only difference between the characteristics of 350 and 250 Asi is, as you understand, only the coil. But there are two objective options for a beginner who chooses a detector. The first is to buy a Garrett Ace 350 Euro, this is one of the most common options. again - there is no cheaper detector that comes with a DD coil. Option two - buy a Garrett Ace 250 and buy a Detech Ultimate 13 coil for it - as a result, the price of such a kit will be almost comparable to the price of the Ace 350, however, in the second case, the search engine will have a DD coil from Ultimate (you can search for reviews and measurements yourself this coil on the Internet in order to assess the reality of the fact that it surpasses the standard DD coil on the Ace 350) plus the standard Mono coil that comes with the Ace 250 will remain - it will also come in handy, especially if you decide to beat out the trash cans in the old days or look for gold on the beaches, or even run through the attic, basement - with a DD coil, such privileges will not be available due to the fact that an excessive number of signals will be given in its field that the detector cannot process at once - and that is why they try to equip powerful processors with DD coils, but Ace 350 unfortunately cannot be fully called as such. Of course, he can handle the processing of most signals, but, of course, not as much as a more expensive device will do. For comparison, you can read about the features of a metal detector, it is, of course, more expensive in price, but already belongs to the professional category. Many of our newbie friends from search engine gatherings switched to Berkut-5 and left the most flattering reviews.
Again, let's say for the thousandth time that if you are faced with the choice of a detector, then you need to measure the capabilities of the detector and its price. For example, many entry-level detectors with Mono coils for some reason have a spread in price, and this only confuses the buyer. However, you can highlight some models that are really worth the money, but you need to know exactly what you are paying for, whether you need it and whether you can learn how to use it in your first season. Do not forget that a used metal detector can always be successfully sold and switched to a more complex detector in the off-season, but the fact that you will spend most of the summer learning complex functions, and when you learn how to use it, the grass in the fields will already be above the waist and it will rain - you won't get it back.
Garrett Ace 350 is really an intermediate option and sometimes makes you think for a long time what to do - save more money or buy it. It would seem that the block at the detector is from its younger brothers, all with the same set of entry-level functions. However, for this price there are no other options for metal detectors with a DD coil - and this is an extra plus in the direction of more frequent finds due to greater depth. On the other hand, by paying a little extra, you can buy the same Berkut-5, which is not so difficult to master, even though it is a professional metal detector. The choice is yours alone. This story was prepared by Alexander B. (shop-detect search team) who has been using AKA metal detectors for over 10 years.
An important argument in favor of choosing the 350 model is the possibility of subsequent upgrade of the metal detector with an even more powerful coil, for example, from Nel or Detech.

Differences and novelties in the Garrett 350 Euro metal detector.
(main differences from Garrett Ace 250):
- New search coil of larger diameter of DoubleD technology (size 28*22 cm). Powerful with a wide target acquisition, but at the same time perfectly separates close-lying iron and non-ferrous targets.
- The discrimination scale of "iron" is expanded up to 5 segments.
- ToneID audio indication technology allows you to better highlight and distinguish objects made of iron and non-ferrous metals. This is very important. The search engine reads most of the information about the find from the sound, its tonality, and jerkiness.
- Branded Garrett headphones with volume control - already included!
- The operating frequency of the coil has been increased to 8.5 kHz, which gives greater sensitivity to small targets (small coins, scales).
Characteristics of the Garrett 350 model:
- Indication of the depth of the object (4 levels)
- Microprocessor control, energy saving circuit
- VLF search technology
- Target ID - 12-segment graphic scale to detect the type of metal
- Ability to adjust sensitivity and depth (8 levels)
- Battery level indication
- 3-tone sound indication of the object
- The metal detector operates at a frequency of -8.5 kHz
- Headphone jack
- Built-in speaker
Factory metal discrimination programs:
- Zero (All Metals)
- Jewelry (Jewelry)
- Coins (Coins)
- Custom (Selective Discrimination, user configurable)
- Relics (Relics)
Target detection depth test "by air":
- Scale - 21 cm.
- 1 kop. 1926 - 23 cm.
- 2 kop. 1812 - 29 cm.
- 5 kop. 1899 - 29 cm.

Interesting marketing ploy. Convert units of measure from inches to centimeters, change the coil - and the new Garret Ace Euro metal detector is ready - it's Garrett Ace 350. Is it so?
Judging by the appearance, a little more than everything was taken from the 250th model - a control unit, a bar with an armrest. But the search detector was changed to a more advanced one - PROFormance DD 8.5x11 inches.
Main advantages
The main advantage of the Ace Euro over the Garrett Ace 250 is the reel. Of course, in comparison with concentric mono detectors, Double D has better search characteristics both in terms of target depth and separation.
The internals of the control unit have also undergone some changes.
Key features of the Garrett Ace 350 metal detector
The Garrett Ace Euro metal detector is built according to the VLF scheme. The operating frequency is 8.5 kHz versus 6.5 kHz for the 250th ICQ. Weighs just over a kilogram, powered by 4 AA batteries. Has 5 search programs, customizable discrimination and Notch. Soundtrack in three tones. Low frequencies - iron, medium - gold and other not very conductive non-ferrous metal, high sound, similar to a bell - silver and copper.
search coil
Unlike the younger models 150 and 250, Garrett Ace Euro received an 8.5x11 inch Garrett PROFormance Double D coil.
Any DoubleD coil has higher search conditions than a concentric one - this is a design feature. The field turns out to be elongated in two directions - along the axis of the metal detector and in depth. In addition, even at the front and rear edges of the coil, the depth does not differ from the center, as happens with a concentric coil. As a result, you can walk faster with Double D. The swings are the same, but the steps are wider - because the overlap band is also wider.
Control
The buttons on the control unit are the same as those of the Garrett Ace 250. On the left is the mode selection (programs) and the power button, in the middle is the feeler rocker and the pinpointer, on the right is the two-position discrimination switch and the scale segment on / off button (ELIM).
Design features
Despite significantly best performance, the Garrett Ace 350 Euro is an entry-level metal detector that is ready to go right out of the box. The Rus package differs from the global one in the inscriptions translated into Russian on the control unit.
Ace 350 equipment
The delivery set for ice euro is richer than that of 150 and 250. It includes a backpack, wired headphones and a cover for the control unit. Everything else - a coil (but different), three sections of the rod, one of them with a control unit and an armrest, a set of coil fasteners, DVD, instructions and warranty cards - everything is like that of younger brothers.
Options and Settings
The control unit is taken from the 250th ice not one to one. The scale is supplemented on the right with "iron" segments. This allows finer tuning of both discrimination and Notch.
By the way, about filters - just like in 250, certain objects can be excluded from detection on the fly by pressing the button located at the bottom right.
In addition to choosing a program, excluding certain sections of the scale from the search, you can adjust the sensitivity - the scale consists of 8 segments, set with the central rocker.
Settings are saved only in Custom or Custom mode.
The metal detector always turns on in Coin mode.
Search programs
There is nothing new here, there are only 5 search programs:
- Zero, aka All Metal;
- coin;
- Relic;
- custom;
- Jewerly.
It is worth noting that the DoubleD reel cancels the treasure hunt saying “the best discrim is a shovel”. If on the younger models with their regular concentric coil, the search programs were more like a show, then on the Ace 350 they become working.
Treasure forum threads about 150 and 250 ices are full of advice to never turn off All Metal mode. This is not the case with the 350.
Metal detector tests
But real tests always more interesting.
We watch the video of the videorodonit channel. Detection depth test.
Repair features
The manual for the metal detector contains a list of the most common problems and how to solve them. Basically, they come down to replacing dead elements, normal fastening of the coil cable in the cable gland of the control unit, etc.
The control unit comes with a 2 year warranty. Climbing into it with a screwdriver at this time is a gamble, it's easier to contact the official service center specified in the seller's documents.
Mechanical damage - according to the situation. Tree branches, electrical tape or scotch tape will come in handy on the dig. In the conditions of a hospital - a decent workshop, where they will do it neatly, hermetically and inexpensively.
Straight arms, a serviceable tool and a cool head also help. And the idea that the best repair is prevention.

Thank you for the delivery to Karelia! At the time of purchase, there was a promotion and the delivery was free. They explained everything exactly by phone. Garrett ace 350 euro checked, it works as it should. I liked everything. I am satisfied with the service and purchase! I recommend this store.
I bought a garrett ace 350 in the winter and, to be honest, I barely endured it until spring. But on the other hand, I managed to smoke forums and even bought a Nelovskaya coil to help with the regular one. I have been digging for more than a year, so I knew that miracles were not to be expected. Our brother is everywhere! The first exit broke off with frozen ground. The coil worked very unstable, constantly gave out false signals, and chiseling stone soil is still a pleasure. But on the second trip, it turned out that where I didn’t get to the bottom there really was a coin - a Soviet penny. So he praised his Garrett for perseverance and flair. The standard coil works fine, but Nelovskaya adds 20 percent to the depth. Keep in mind. In the broken places, only Nelom also vacuumed. The brains of the garrett ace 350 are nimble, the response is fast. The sound is normal, but you need headphones. The native ears that are included in the package did not like the cord. So I bought others. A cool feature of my Garrett - it works on the mobile even before the bell rings. Straight psychic, not a metal detector!
When buying Aunt Asya 350, I knew what I was taking. I have been using Garrets for a long time and have always been pleased with the build quality and stable operation. There are no complaints about the device. Works out the invested money with a bang. I often visit Kazakhstan for work and there are areas with very saline soil. So on salts, the garrett ace 350 behaves quite worthy. I will not say that he wins against serious professional devices, but goes head to head with them, given the cost. The garrett ace 350 is quite a nice price, especially in connection with the exchange rate. If there is an urgent need to buy a metal detector, and even the budget is limited - take this model. Of the pluses, I note the standard DD coil. On salty soil, even without detuning from the ground, it works stably. There are false positives, but the search conditions are difficult. Coil pulls coins from a decent depth. Of the minuses, I noted an aggressive reaction to other detectors, you need to stay away. Delivery to the regions is fast, it came to me in 4 days.
I will not hide the fact that when buying a detector I was guided by the cost. The price for the garrett ace 350 euro metal detector was within the allowable budget, that's why I bought it. Search engine forums are read to holes and to redness in the eyes. I bought a detector, a shovel and a bag for finds (large). I took the instructions for the first trip, suddenly I screwed up something (. It turned out that I was worried in vain and there was nothing complicated. Now, after six months of use, I can say that I like the garrett ace 350. No, I didn’t get rich by digging silver coins and gold chains, but I see that other search engines do not find much more than me, and their devices are much more expensive. At first it was hard to distinguish between signals, and even now I have not succeeded too much in this, but, as they told me: "The best discrim is a shovel", so I dig. For beginners, I recommend the garrett ace 350 because of the price and ease of use. It is better to immediately start searching and gaining experience, rather than deal with the complex settings of the metal detector.
I'll start by thanking the store. Guys - you are great! I praise for efficiency (delivered on the day of order), decent assortment and competitive prices. Now about the garrett ace 350 chips that you need to know so that there is no disappointment. Decent device! It makes no sense to compare it with cool metal detectors, as they say - You can’t scold a fish that it can’t climb a tree. Among his brothers in the 350 price category, Garrett definitely wins, and this is already a huge plus. The garrett ace 350 comes with headphones, which is just great! The native speaker yells so that it will raise the dead from the grave, but do we need it? Be sure to wrap the coil with electrical tape to protect it from shock. That the sensitivity will drop is a lie, but scuffs from hard grass and small stones can be avoided. Get good batteries! Let the batteries be, but in reserve. I consider ALL METALL to be the optimal mode, on the 350 Garrett it is called ZERO. The lack of ground balance is annoying, well, Asya has a widespread problem.
I had to buy a garrett ace 350 euro metal detector because my wife took away her beloved 250 ICQ. We get out on the cop together and she is all exhausted that she wants to dig on her own). I bought a 350 model on the advice of a friend. Cheap and cheerful - this is definitely not about this device. Surprisingly, it was not so easy to buy a garrett ace 350 euro. I found it in stock only here, in other places it was necessary to wait for it to be brought from behind a hillock. The first impression after opening the box is bewilderment. In front of me is a 250 model, only a new one, yes, I knew about a different coil, but I thought that they had come up with something else in the design. What the manufacturer is doing well is that he does not invest in tinsel such as backlighting or speakers, as well as in appearance. Many people forget that the main thing in a metal detector is to search and find, and the garrett ace 350 can do it well! And all the stray things like headphones or a headlamp can be easily bought. Definitely a 350 model is better than a 250 - that's just the wife doesn't need to know about it :)
The main advantage of Asya 350, as is usually the case with Garrett devices, is simplicity! But that's why the manufacturer will not start using high-quality plastic? I understand, again, savings, but the armrest does not inspire confidence. The feeling that he is about to crack does not leave. There is a belief that garrett euro ace is popular because of the price. I do not argue, the garrett ace 350 can be bought very inexpensively. But in the case of the 350 Garrett, the consumer - the search engine votes with a ruble for the reliability that this company is famous for. By the way, you can’t distinguish 350 from ICQ 250 in appearance - but this is only externally. The brains of the garrett ace 350 euro work faster - this is unambiguous and understandable as soon as you go out into the field with the device. According to my feelings, he "sees" the gold better. I think that the lion's share of the success of the search falls on the DD coil, which comes as standard. It picks up the target perfectly, but for those who don’t have enough of it, you can always buy another one, since the choice of coils is large.
I am amazed at the people who find fault with this device. Well, what other company produces worthy models in this price range ??? You can buy a garrett ace 350 euro metal detector at the price for which some search engines buy coils! And here is a full-fledged metallic, and even with a normal coil. As soon as the first reviews of ICQ 350 appeared, I immediately thought of buying it. I didn’t deliberately order abroad, then you won’t get any problems with a guarantee. Therefore, I waited for official deliveries to buy garrett ace 350 euro in St. Petersburg. Surprisingly, it was available only in this store, in others the delivery time was from 5-7 days. I agree, not a deadline, but when it burns in one place, you want everything at once. After several trips, I identified several pluses and one minus. Pros: the device is as simple as two pennies, light, fast. Of the minuses - the speaker. He's really loud. Headphones solve the problem, but I'm not too comfortable in them, I prefer to hear what is happening around.
The Garrett Ace 350 Euro is a Double-D metal detector for Europe, so inches have been replaced by centimeters. A distinctive element of this model is the DD coil. The control unit of the metal detector is not protected from moisture, so only the coil is immersed in water. The exact location of the target is found by the Pinpointer.
The metal detector is a semi-professional tool general profile. It is partially protected from the weather, and works in rain and snow. Can be used on the beach. It has a decent search depth, an intuitively simple and clear interface of the control unit. Automatic mode of soil adjustment - this will allow you to work on highly mineralized soils. The main task of the Ace 350 is the search and precise localization of small objects made of non-ferrous metal, and it does an excellent job of it.
Garrett Ace Euro is a treasure hunter's working tool that will suit both the beginner treasure hunter and the professional on the road to the field. The next level after working with it will be the transition to a fully professional device with advanced functionality.
