Rating  - Works like a charm!
I first rented a Bounty Hunter Fast Tracker to find iron property stakes on my property. It found the easy ones (with some difficulty) that are close to the surface. Then I rented the Garrett Ace 250 because I could not find the last two. It found them, even though they were buried 5-6" below the surface. The last one was really difficult because there were underground cables and metal trash close by, so I used the Ace 250's discrimination and elimination features to match the detection profile of a property stake near the surface. Then I used the "Pinpoint" button to find the stake's exact location. Believe me, this last property stake was VERY hard to find, and I don't think I could've found it without using ALL of the Ace 250's features!
Rating - For the money, you can't beat this Garret
As a beginner, I can't really compare the Garret Ace 250 to other more expensive detectors. I can say that this detector's performance, features, and ease of use easily exceeded my expectations. Great value!
Rating  - Not better then average
Not bad for a first detector,very easy to operate but impossible to descriminate a pull tad from a gold ring so expect to dig out your share of pull tabs, coin shooting seems good for americam coins only, a Canadian dime i identified as foil, depth indicator is so so, the tracker IV is as good of a machine for 100$ less.
Rating - Garrett ACE 250 metal detector
It is a GREAT metal detector for the price. It has many features that are on much more expensive models, coin ID and depth of target are just two of them. The ACE 250 is very easy to use because of factory set controls, plus ease of custom setting. It is light weight , but well thought out and made.It has five modes of operation, all metal,jewelry,custom,relics, and coin. Battery life is from 20 to 40 hours from four AA's. Big bang for the bucks. Amazon had the better price then anyone else. I'm well pleased.
Rating  - Garrett ace 250 is a good machine
Hi, excuse me for my bad english. I bought this ace 250, is my first metal detector, i found a lot of coins, not gold or silver until now. In my garden, and in sand beach. Is a really good machine until 18 20 centimeters max (coins). It discrimines well iron from coins, is easy to use, is sensitive, battery have long life, and it tell you exactly proof of target. In sand beach is good too, no problem. It is perfect for detect coins, not the best for detect gold. The pin pointing is good too, you need to practice to improve your precision, and of course reads the manual and see the dvd, in the first week you will know this good machine, his differents sounds. For beginners and not so on, very good metal detector (until 20 centimeters for coins). Good luck!
