F Family Handyman Marisa Hillman · reviewer · Dec 2024

If you’re just getting started, the Garrett Ace 300 is the best entry-level model. This multi-purpose metal detector is a mid-priced unit that’s loaded with plenty of useful features. Five search presets to help you find exactly what you’re looking for and adjustable frequencies which eliminate or minimize interference caused by electrical sources or from other metal detectors. Moreover, the 7-by-10-inch search coil is submersible so you can hunt for treasure on the beach, at the lake or in your local river.
