So, it’s done! Garrett kept the intrigue for a long time and tried to create a little excitement among his fans, because there was no news or even rumors about this metal detector. What I knew in advance — only that it will work with wireless headphones. Well, this will be a further continuation of Garrett AT PRO. Which is what happened.
Garrett AT MAX — what’s new?
Содержание статьи:
And, actually, there’s not that much new. In short:
- Built-in audio transmitter — allows you to work with the Z-Lynk receiver, as well as with the new Garrett MS-3
- They promise increased target detection depth
- real A/M mode (all metals)
- Backlight! Well, finally — I’m tired of attaching the backlight to the screen ourselves in ICQ and AT PRO.
- Ground balance improved — Now you will automatically balance more accurately
- Increased the size of the numbers on the display
- Adjustable threshold tone — but this is a necessary option
- Improved performance on highly mineralized soil — Now you can go digging on the sea beach and dive into the sea
- New search modes
wireless headphones
The rest was all in one form or another in Garrett AT PRO.
As seen in the video with Steve (Garrett Marketing Director) — the body migrated from the AT PRO. Well, we save on the mold, but its characteristics of submersion under water were not the best; many diggers complained about problems with leakage and sealed the body themselves as best they could to protect it from water getting inside.
Metal detector modes
The numbers have really gotten bigger. And, fortunately, they added normal search modes to AT PRO, now there are four normal modes for a serious cop:
- All metals
- Custom
- Coins
- Zero (zero?)
What is the last mode — We’ll find out later.
Improved handle. Well, that’s also an improvement and a new thing, nothing to add!
Threshold tone — one of the most useful options for a cop. If you are a serious cop — learn to use it, an increase in the number of finds is guaranteed. (The main thing is not to overdo it with the settings).
Wireless headphones Garrett MS-3
And headphones. New, wireless, from Grandpa Garrett. They look quite comfortable, you just need to look at their characteristics: how long does the battery last, what is the resistance coefficient, weight, and so on.
For underwater digging you will need other headphones, with a wire, remember — The wireless signal is not transmitted in water.
Yes, wireless headphones are included! This, apparently, is why the price has increased; on average, headphones cost around 90-120 dollars per unit.

And where would we be without video?
Metal detector price
All this fun costs $849.95 (USD), US dollars, this is MSRP, which means the maximum possible price for the client, in the USA they usually sell everything cheaper than MSRP, the world will be somewhere in that range — 800-900 dollars.
