For more than 40 years Charles Garrett has been an active treasurer and manufacturer of metal detectors. The desire to develop a better metal detector sprung from his expertise in electronics coupled with his hobby of treasure hunting. He started a company in 1964 after designing his own detector. http://www.metaldetectorsonline.net/Garrett-Metal-Detectors/Garrett-Metal-Detectors.html http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Sat, 7 Aug 2010 13:43:17 -0700 Sat, 7 Aug 2010 13:43:15 -0700 FeedForAll v2.0 (2.0.3.1) http://www.feedforall.com The GTAx 400 Garrett metal detector has a high level of sensitivity and is very refined; however it is also durable and light to carry. Putting the metal detector together is not difficult and does not require any tools. After you assemble it, you can begin to detect for hidden treasures. http://www.metaldetectorsonline.net/Garrett-Metal-Detectors/Garrett-GTAx-400.html ED59056E-EE9A-44D1-A072-6E4DE5C0CB5D Sat, 7 Aug 2010 13:42:41 -0700 I purchased the Ace 250 that was available as a set with headphones, a pinpointer (which is awesome), 2 coils, a cover, and a bag. Now that I have detected with the Ace 250 a number of times, I really like it a lot. http://www.metaldetectorsonline.net/Garrett-Metal-Detectors/Garrett-Ace-250.html F7E42C8A-A690-488F-A0A2-9361D75321AC Sat, 7 Aug 2010 13:42:21 -0700 The Garrett Ace 100 is a terrific instrument for those just getting a foothold in the world of metal detecting. If you really want to get a lot of metal detecting finds, dial up the discriminator to the top of the coins section. Determine where to begin digging and what to bother digging up, by the beeping of the detector. Limit your digs to those items which set off the detector when the coil is swiped in either direction. http://www.metaldetectorsonline.net/Garrett-Metal-Detectors/Garrett-Ace-100.html E0845735-DEA8-4A39-8DE4-5C4C72D87E28 Sat, 7 Aug 2010 13:41:37 -0700 I must confess that using the Garret Ace 150 Metal Detector does take some practice, but once you have learned all of the features and identified the signal sounds you will be able to dig treasure to your heart's content. As for the complaints from other metal detector reviews about pinpointing, I have had no problems. http://www.metaldetectorsonline.net/Garrett-Metal-Detectors/Garrett-Ace-150.html 35C37C6B-98EE-4E20-AA9B-834BC8C7DA35 Sat, 7 Aug 2010 13:41:22 -0700
