The Voilamart Metal Detector will sense items up to a depth of 5 cm, and the search coil is waterproof so the detector can be used in shallow water as well – perfect for hunting in rivers and on the sea shore. The display is scored on a 0 – 99 scale and the number that flashes up when you hit a target shows what metal it’s made from – silver, bronze, or iron for example. Then on the vertical side is a display indicating the depth it’s buried. This detector does not perform well in saltwater. Saltwater has high mineralization, which this unit is not equipped to overcome. Plus, the water can cause noticeable oxidation issues on the search coil. If you are searching a metal detector for saltwater or beach hunting read this guide. The 250 has three different tones that indicated what metal I’d found without looking at the display. It also doesn’t have the iron filtering capabilities or pinpointing function of its big brothers and you may find yourself digging more trash that you’d hoped.

It’s great to have choice over the machine and the sensitivity is an important feature, but I’d say it’s for when you’ve got more experience.On average, metal detectors can penetrate between 6 and 10 inches into the soil. The ACE 250 is no different. However, this model lets you know what you’re in for before you even start digging. I found it fun to put the metal detector together. It was easy to find where the search coil went and where the wires plugged in. Can distinguish between different metals to allow children to eliminate anything they want to ignore The screen has a simple display with a needle that moves at it senses metals. There are also two dials to adjust volume and discern between different metals as well as a low-battery indicator light to make it obvious when the power is running out.

The coil is waterproof which is essential here in the UK, but the control box is not. You’ll need to take care in the rain and be sure it’s not dropped in a lake or stream. The ACE 200 has fewer modes than its big brothers, but they are (in my opinion anyway) the best ones of the bunch. The coil is a top-of-the-range 6.5 x 9 inch PROformance coil which is surprising for the cheapest in Garrett’s armoury. It’s possible to upgrade the coil at a later date if your kid really gets into detecting but for beginners (and way beyond) this coil is enough. What you’ll be looking at for the most time is the identification scale. This is Garrett’s numeric target ID and it’ll tell you what you’ve found before digging.You’ll need 4 x AA batteries which can last up to 40 hours. I’d recommend keeping a spare set in your bag just in case. Warranty There are many ways that it differs from a standard metal detector, and it has less functions overall. For example, there’s no way to eliminate certain metals from the search (therefore, it will likely detect a lot of non-valuable iron, bottlecaps etc.).
