Garrett AT Max Waterproof Metal Detector

The Garrett AT Max is an all terrain VLF metal detector built for hunters who want depth, wireless audio and a machine that goes anywhere. It runs at a 13.6 kHz operating frequency that handles a wide range of targets, from silver coins and gold jewelry to brass relics, and the housing, stem and 8.5 inch by 11 inch DD searchcoil are all submersible to 10 feet (3 m). GeoWork Supply ships it with the Garrett MS-3 Z-Lynk wireless headphones and an AT Max cap.

The standout feature is built-in Z-Lynk wireless. The detector transmits audio to the included MS-3 headphones with no cable to snag, pairing automatically at a speed Garrett rates at about six times faster than standard Bluetooth. A True All Metal mode reaches for maximum depth and three discrimination modes filter trash. Iron Audio lets you hear discriminated iron so you can skip bottle caps and flat washers before you dig.

Target information sits on a large digital readout. A 0 to 99 numeric Target ID, a coin depth indicator and a backlit display keep every setting readable in low light. Ground handling is strong too, with automatic and manual ground balance, 175 points of ground balance resolution and the Automatic Ground Balance Window that smooths audio over changing soil so faint targets still come through. Eight sensitivity and depth levels let you push for depth or settle the machine down in trashy ground.

The AT Max weighs 3.03 lbs (1.4 kg), adjusts from 43 inches to 56 inches and runs on 4 AA batteries that are included. It suits coin, jewelry, cache, relic, organized hunt and shallow water hunting. GeoWork Supply ships it complete and ready to assemble, with the owner's manual linked below.

Features

Built-in Z-Lynk Wireless and MS-3 Headphones
Z-Lynk wireless is built into the detector, so audio reaches the included MS-3 land-use headphones with no cable. Pairing is automatic and Garrett rates the link at about six times faster than standard Bluetooth, with no lag between sweep and signal.

Waterproof to 10 Feet, All Terrain
The control housing, stem and DD searchcoil are submersible to 10 feet (3 m), so you can hunt wet sand, creeks and shallow fresh water as easily as a dry field. The all terrain build shrugs off dust, humidity and rain.

Large Display, 4 Search Modes and Target ID
Choose from True All Metal plus Custom, Coins and Zero discrimination modes. A 0 to 99 digital Target ID, a target legend and a coin depth scale read out on a large display, and the backlight keeps it visible at dawn, dusk or under tree cover.

Iron Audio, Backlight and Frequency Shift
Iron Audio lets you hear discriminated iron and identify flat trash like bottle caps before digging. Frequency shift cancels interference from nearby detectors at an organized hunt, and the backlight, wireless and ground balance controls sit under one finger.

8.5 inch x 11 inch DD Searchcoil
The included PROformance Double-D coil puts a narrow positive field down the centerline, which helps separate good targets in trashy ground and holds detection steady over mineralized soil. The coil and its cover are submersible.

Seven Searchcoil Options
The AT Max accepts seven Garrett searchcoils, four DD and three concentric, from a 5 inch by 8 inch sniper coil up to large coils for open ground. Match the coil to the site so you can chase separation in trash or depth in clean fields.

Proven for Coins, Relics and Beaches
Garrett recommends the AT Max for coin, jewelry, cache, relic, organized hunt and water hunting. See it worked in the field in Garrett's own relic hunting walkthrough below.
