Garrett 1140360 EuroACE Metal Detector, Clear,Gold

Just started out detecting and after trying the same model decided to get one. Very pleased been using for over a year (don’t see the point of reviewing this type of thing unless you have used it a lot) and can honestly say very pleased! As you can see it does work, these are a small selection of the coins I have found and they range from the third century! The display is easy to understand, change and some of these coins were over 30cm down, the trick is learning the sounds and perseverance! Having a pinpointer is essential no matter what detector you have, my advice is this is definitely worth the money and a great starter unit but also good enough for me to continue using as I like the weight, as well as the balance when using it. To be honest I wouldn’t think I will spend a lot more getting a “better” detector as my brother has recently bought hisself a much more expensive unit but hasn’t found more than me!

Well made, easy to assemble, air test on most metal coins 10 inches, easy to use and set up, some cool features, about the right price for a metal detector with the specWhat I liked is you get free headphones, free instructional DVD, a rucksack and book and a waterproof cover.It would have been a better detector if it had the number value on the display as some cheaper metal detectors have but you can’t have everything for a beginners detector.

Great product for me; a beginner! Take your time to watch the provided DVD and practice learning the tones and the display screen. Should only take an hour or so to get the basics. Spent a few hours in the garden and found two 1967 pennies, 8 and half pence and a 1972 20 centimes French coin. Learning all the time. Great instructions, great product and bags of fun. Glad I opted for this model. Next purchase is a pinpointing tool which will save me time finding earth covered objects. You get a carry bag , headphones and a protective screen cover, well imprested.

To be fair, I have not used it. I bought it for someone else and the feedback is good. It is easy to use and provides fun and interest for a family with children of eight and six years old. This was gratifying as the (adult) user would not claim to be particularly gifted in the use of gadgets. It worked out-of-the-box and provided a reliable stream of objects for research and discussion. I do not know if it is good enough for someone with larger aspirations.

This was the best price I could find at the time for an early Christmas present to myself. I noticed that, although other sellers were offering it slightly cheaper- they didn't come with all the accessories like this one does i.e.-Monitor cover, bag, batteries (pre-installed), dvd, book etc. And it came within 10 days.On the first few expeditions, (with permission of course!) I've found a few empty shot gun cartridges, an old WW2 Bullet and I'm quids in already with a whopping £1.23 in loose change!!!Oh and pre decimal penny!I'm a complete beginner and this was out the box, "COINS" selected, sensitivity in the middle and off we (me and my 7yr old son) went. Which he loves and I'm considering getting him a 150....we'll see!The Pinpoint button is a handy option and fairly accurate, I've noticed that when a signal really jumps about with different tones and hard to completely locate- then it's possibly trash of some kind - Aluminium ring pull, some foil of some kind - but what if it's a really old coin???? who truly knows?, so you dig it and that will come with experience I guess and collecting trash just comes with the territory I suppose?It's well worth the money and I'm really looking forward to going out again and finding that elusive coin...they say every field has one....and why shouldn't it have?I would strongly recommend a Pin pointer (GARRETT)- it makes the job SO much quicker/easier & will give you more success.Enjoy

I wanted to get a good detector, that was easy to use and cheap enough for newbie like me to see if I liked it. I looked at various sites and forums, and garrett machine was talked about a lot. So decided to go for this one...and all I can say it wasa good choice to have. Very easy to use, sounds are perfect to find finds. Very good machine and would suit new comers and experienced...only used it a few times and found various items including coins....and also a small silver hammered coin on a field used by quite a few detectorists useing the higher end priced machines. The garrett 350 euroace is a nice weight, easy to use and well built...so if you want a nice little machine this is a Defo to buy. I'm sure il be useing it for quite a while now...and if you are wanting to start this as a hobby, make sure you buy the garrett pro pointer..very handy bit of kit. The Garrett euroace does have a pin pointer, but the pro pointer makes it even easier to find things, even the smallest of metals...

After really enjoying The Detectorists series on TV I thought I'd have a go at metal detecting, (my wife said it'd be a five minute wonder) so I went ahead and after some research bought this excellent Garrett EuroACE. When it arrived I took it straight out to the garden and found a rusty four inch nail, a piece of wire and a rusty screw. Later I thought, do I really want to walk around a muddy farmers field in winter digging up endless rusty iron and bottle tops? When it came down to it I didn't fancy it that much after all, so I sold the Garrett on Ebay and got nearly all my money back, fortunately being a quality machine they do hold their value. So my wife was right, she knows me so well, damn it!!

It worked for a few hours then started acting up i.e., the buzzer keeps going off constantly and erratically for no reason, even when there is no metal near the coil and the coil sitting still, buzzer also goes off if you tap the cable or as soon as you sway from side to side. pretty useless as it is at the moment so sent it back for a refund.disappointed would be an understatement really
