What is the Garrett AT Max?
The Garrett AT Max is a high-performance metal detector that operates at an optimal frequency to detect a variety of targets, including coins, relics, jewelry, and even small gold nuggets. Its all-terrain capability means it is equally effective on land and in water, making it a versatile tool for detecting in different environments, from parks and fields to rivers and beaches.
Key Features
1. Advanced Pulse Induction Technology
- The Garrett ATX employs advanced PI circuitry, allowing it to detect targets in highly mineralized environments and saltwater conditions where other detectors may struggle.
- It provides outstanding depth for small gold nuggets, coins, relics, and other treasures.
2. 11" x 13" DD Closed Searchcoil
- The 11" x 13" double-D closed coil enhances the detection of small targets and provides excellent ground coverage.
- Its design ensures high performance in mineralized soils and offers greater sensitivity to small, low-conductivity targets.
3. True All-Metal Mode
- This mode allows maximum sensitivity to all metal types, providing the deepest detection capabilities for any environment.
4. Waterproof and Submersible
- The ATX is fully waterproof up to 10 feet (3 meters), making it suitable for detecting in shallow water, lakes, streams, and rivers.
5. Adjustable Ground Balance
- Accommodates a wide range of ground conditions, from ferrous-rich soils to wet saltwater sand.
- Manual and automatic ground balance options let users fine-tune the detector for optimal performance.
6. Adjustable Discrimination
- Users can adjust discrimination settings to filter out unwanted metals, focusing on valuable targets while ignoring iron or other trash items.
7. Collapsible Design
- The detector’s fully collapsible stem allows for easy transportation and storage, making it perfect for on-the-go detecting.
8. LED Target Indicators
- LED indicators provide a visual representation of signal strength and settings, ensuring efficient detection even in low-light conditions.
9. Multiple Detection Modes
- Motion Mode: Requires coil movement for detection and is ideal for general searches.
- Non-Motion Mode: Perfect for pinpointing and static detection.
10. Ground Track with Multiple Speeds
- Offers four ground tracking speeds (Off, Slow, Medium, Fast) to adapt to varying ground mineralization conditions.
11. Frequency Scan
- Automatically adjusts operating frequency to minimize interference from other electronic devices or detectors in the vicinity.
