The ACE 300 is light enough at 2.8 lbs and adjustable enough (42 to 51 inches) for older kids and teens to swing comfortably, but younger children may find the control layout and menu system more complex than they need. The cam-lock stem holds its length without slipping, which is important for smaller hunters who set the shaft once and leave it. Families shopping for younger detectorists often start with the ACE 200 or browse our Garrett ACE 300 kids guide to see age-appropriate setups.
