Garrett Ace 350 Testing on Video

[earthsurfer]

I got my 350 on Wednesday and have been doing some indoor testing with some coins and miscellaneous items. So far it seems pretty accurate depth-wise on the clad US coins I have tried. It looks like its detection limits are right around 8 inches at the standard sensitivity.

I have only had it out in the field a couple of hours, but so far I am seeing similar results to the indoor tests below. The coil makes it really easy to pinpoint the coins, even in wet sand. They are almost always dead-center in the second hole in front of the mount. Other items like foil, rebar, bits of steel, etc. are more varied in depth and location.

A simple demonstration of the detection pattern of the coil:

Thanks for taking the time to put the video together and posting it Earthsurfer. It gave me the info I needed in regards to the DD coil.

that belltone is the reason I sold the garretts detectors that I owned in the past. just not something I wanna hear when passing the coil over a coin.

Thanks for the air tests. If you notice the different signals using the new DD coil.
In your test you changed angles and speed. I think some future videos would be nice in where is the sweet spot of the coil and at what depth/distance.
No matter what everyone will be learning how th DD coil works better than the mono coils
