Isn't Garrett still spending their money from AT Pro ? That was a huge game changer ?

Yup...I ordered two. Both came with almost dead Duracell batteries from sitting on the distributors shelf too long. How long does it take for a Duracell to die without ever being used?They must have an over stock in the carrot item. Should they go ahead and put out their version of the TRX then you will probably see a crowd of dissatisfied folks that are still holding those old carrot up the shaft pointers and want to trade those in.
Try the Manticore. Great beach or relic machine.I purchased an AT Max a few years back. It is almost useless on the beach. So noisy that I can’t use it. I know there is a huge complicated procedure to detune it to quiet it down, but it seems to defeat the purpose. I am thinking of a PI machine. I may be digging everything but it shouldn’t make me crazy.
On salt blacksand beaches , a good PI has ALWAYS been the ruler and king. But make no mistake. It WILL drive you crazy.I purchased an AT Max a few years back. It is almost useless on the beach.

I think it's getting close,there's some new apex videos on the Garrett website and if you dissect the wording it sounds like they're positioning it below something i'm guessing the at apex is coming soon and i got a pretty good guess at what's after thatI figured a Multi frenquency AT series that was waterproof was only around the corner with how long the apex has been out. Not sure what the holdup is
They will name it At multi pro! Yeeeeeeaaaaahhhhhh!I think it's getting close,there's some new apex videos on the Garrett website and if you dissect the wording it sounds like they're positioning it below something i'm guessing the at apex is coming soon and i got a pretty good guess at what's after that

True, I don't know that too many beginners start out with headphones. As far as the Ace 250, it does have a headphone jack. Personally, I enjoy the tones that the Garrett detectors utilize, but that's simply an example of how each of us have different preferences. I think that these kinds of diverse opinions & preferences help make the world a more unique and wonderful place.What we do see are many beginners turn up with an entry level Garret and seem to either not bother with headphones, or perhaps the machine doesn't have a headphone jack? Regardless, all you hear across the dig are tones that sound like an old 56k dial up modem.. To me, they truly sound awful...I have no idea if this style of sound is used across most of the Garret range, or whether it's just thier lower end machines but I could never enjoy using a machine that sounded like that..
I am aware of the Apex, thus my statement, ”in the same realm as the Nokta Legend or Nox 900”.Garrett has a multi frequency detector, unfortunately it doesn’t compare to what Minelab, XP, or Nokta offer. Not even close!
I don't think the Apex is quite on the same playing field myself. A low-end Legend maybe? Surely not Garrett's flagship.Is Garrett still missing from releasing a multi-frequency in the same realm as the Nokta Legend or Nox 900?
Garrett placed the Apex in the Ace line. They are not pretending it is a high end machine. Pretty much a power up and go machine.I don't think the Apex is quite on the same playing field myself. A low-end Legend maybe? Surely not Garrett's flagship.
