Garrett ACE APEX HP with Headphones Metal Detector

Product Information

The AT Max will not do as well in saltwater areas as the Ace Apex. The AT Max does have fantastic ground balancing, so it will be able to mitigate some of the effects of salt on the detector. The Ace Apex, however, has a dedicated salt mode. This mode is already fine-tuned to automatically filter out the effects of saltwater. Saltwater is inherently conductive, so most single frequency metal detectors struggle to differentiate targets from salt interference. A metal detector can’t work efficiently with the same settings for all soil types, because soil mineralization influences the device productivity and metal targets detection. To eliminate this issue, the device designers have foreseen a ground balance function. You can do it:

This is the fist Garret metal detector that uses a multi-frequency technology. Should we expect to see your new metal detector models using it as well? All metal’ mode is not recommended to be used in trashy areas. Usually, it is turned on when the place is quite clean, and there isn’t much iron trash around. The standout feature of the ACE Apex is its Multi-Flex technology, which allows the detector to operate in multiple frequencies simultaneously. This technology significantly enhances the detector’s performance, providing increased depth and target separation while also reducing the impact of ground mineralization. Utilizing this function, you can define the exact target location, and you won’t have to spend much time and effort when digging in several places simultaneously and then be disappointed with the result. Recovery speedAt this time, lower frequency metal detectors could be around 3Khz, middle frequency machines could range from 7-12Khz and higher frequency machines up to 18Khz.

Finally, you may want to drill down on the bells and whistles along with the amount of adjustability in the machine. This helps to perfect a machines set up for the way you prefer to hunt. These are Vanquish and Equinox metal detectors designed by Minelab. Wil Apex be able to compete with the latter? It’s hard to say after watching the video. Let’s wait till the metal detector appears on sale. Standard operating frequencies from 5 to 20 kHz. Two search modes are available: Multi-Flex is used for standard treasure hunting in the fields; Multi-Salt is for detecting a target in mineralized soil, on the beach, or in seawater.I nearly forgot to tell you about my favorite feature on the AT Max! This model is completely waterproof up to 10 feet. This is huge if you want to metal detect in rivers, streams, and shallow lakes. You will no longer have to worry about dropping your metal detector in the water and ruining it. It also comes with Garrett’s MS-3 Z-Lynk wireless headphones. Garrett Ace Apex vs Garrett AT Max As it is a very new detector on the market, potential issues are yet to be determined and understood.

Both have a Bluetooth option built into them but out of all wireless connections, Bluetooth is the slowest even though it means you can connect any headphones you may have at home. To give you a clearer picture of what the Apex is all about, let’s go through a list of its main benefits: The Garrett Ace Apex is one of Garrett’s newest metal detectors. This model has some advanced technology, especially considering its price range. The Ace Apex features Garrett’s Multi-Flex technology with broad bandwidth digital platforming. This gives the Ace Apex more versatility. Multi-Flex is Garrett’s multiple frequency operating mode, so this detector has multiple operating frequencies. It can use the frequencies individually, or simultaneously. The Ace Apex’s operating frequencies are: This number also depends on various factors such as search frequency, detection mode selected, ground balance, and soil type. This was like multi frequency but was a digitised square wave technology rather than a VLF (Very Low Frequency) analogue technogy which was pioneered by scientist Bruce Candy.This could make a difference finding a very small, valuable object or even collectively with the other frequencies giving additional target information to identify a target more accurately at depth. The coils on both machines are of a DD type so will both perform in difficult soils and offer great target separation. Perfect for finding good targets amongst iron or trash. This technology could now gather target information from the use of several frequencies simultaneously. The differences in how frequencies reacted with different targets were now harmonised. One thing to say at this point is that this type of technology at this price point is unprecedented. Before the launch of the Equinox detectors, this would of been unheard of.
