How it differs from its neighbors
Its twin on paper is the ACE 200: same frequency, same coil size. The 200 cuts the controls to 3 search modes and 4 levels of sensitivity, yet it displays a 0 to 99 number for each target. Garrett weighs it at 2.75 lb.
Step up to the ACE 300 and the frequency rises to 8 kHz. It runs a 7 x 10-inch concentric coil and weighs 2.8 lb, a tenth of a pound more.
At the top, the ACE 400 is the only one of the four with a Double-D coil and Iron Audio. Whichever you pick, the warranty reads 3 years, limited parts and labor.

Questions about the ACE 250
Answered from Garrett's product page, read Oct. 16, 2026.
We found no rating. The ACE 250 page and Garrett's ACE table are both silent on water. The Amazon listing we link says "Submersible Coil"; Garrett's own pages do not, so keep the control box dry.
Not a numeric one. The comparison table marks Digital Target ID: No for the ACE 250, and yes for the ACE 200, 300 and 400.
More control on the 250, a number on the 200. The 250 offers five modes plus pinpoint and 8 levels of sensitivity. The 200 shows a 0 to 99 ID with only three modes.
