Garrett Metal Detectors ACE 200 Metal Detector Starter Bundle — Waterproof Coil & Headphones Included

The Garrett ACE 200 Starter Bundle is an all-in-one beginner metal detecting kit that pairs a lightweight ACE 200 detector with headphones, digging gear, protective pads, and batteries so you can start hunting immediately.

The Garrett ACE 200 Bundle combines a user-friendly metal detector with thoughtfully selected accessories to simplify the first steps of treasure hunting. Designed for newcomers and casual hobbyists, this kit provides clear target ID, audible feedback, and durable recovery tools so you can spend more time searching and less time improvising. Everything in the package is ready to use out of the box, and the detector’s ergonomic build helps reduce fatigue during longer outings.

How accurate is the ACE 200 at identifying buried items?

The ACE 200 uses a digital target ID scale (0–99) and distinct audio tones to help you assess conductivity and likely metal types before digging. While no detector guarantees perfect classification, the ACE 200’s readout and sound cues improve your ability to separate trash from promising targets.

• Digital Target ID scale provides a numeric conductivity estimate.
• Sharp audio tones change with target depth and conductivity.
• 6.5" x 9" concentric waterproof searchcoil boosts detection coverage.
• Pinpointing with consistent sweep technique reduces digging errors.

What accessories come with the bundle and why do they matter?

This bundle includes headphones, a digging shovel, knee pads, safety gloves, and four AA batteries so you can begin hunting right away with protection and convenience. Each accessory is chosen to improve comfort, safety, and recovery efficiency while detecting at parks, shorelines, or backyards.

• Comfortable headphones for clearer signals in noisy environments.
• Sturdy digging shovel designed for varied soil conditions.
• Knee pads and gloves protect you while recovering finds.
• Four AA batteries included to power the detector immediately.

Can I use the ACE 200 near water and what are its limitations?

The ACE 200’s PROformance concentric searchcoil is waterproof, so you can submerge the coil in shallow water, wet sand, and along shorelines. However, the control box and battery compartment are not waterproof, so avoid fully immersing the detector or exposing the electronics to heavy spray or deep water.

• Searchcoil submersible for wading and shoreline detection.
• Keep the control box dry; use a protective cover in damp conditions.
• Suitable for wet sand, riverbanks, and shallow streams.
• Rinse coil after saltwater use to prevent corrosion.

Who is this bundle best suited for? The Garrett ACE 200 Starter Bundle is ideal for first-time detectorists, families introducing kids to the hobby, and casual treasure hunters who want a reliable, easy-to-learn setup. It balances intuitive electronics with practical recovery tools, so you can focus on learning detecting techniques and enjoying outdoor hunts. Backed by Garrett’s manufacturing and warranty support, the kit gives new users confidence while they develop skill and experience in locating coins, jewelry, and relics.
