Garrett SuperWand Hand-Held Metal Detector
The Garrett SuperWand is a hand-held security metal detector built for screening people and bags at checkpoints, events, schools and entrances. It is a security wand, not a ground-search treasure detector. You sweep it over a person or item and it signals on metal, so a screener can find a target fast and pinpoint where it sits.
Its 360 degree detection field gives uniform sensitivity along the whole blade, including the tip, so there is no dead spot to scan around. The SuperWand detects ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel objects, and a self-calibrating microprocessor keeps it tuned with no manual adjustment. One-touch operation with a simple three-way switch makes it easy for new or experienced staff to pick up and use.
A dual alarm gives a clear audible tone or a silent vibrate and LED alert for quiet, discreet screening, and a three-color LED shows power, low battery and alarm at a glance. The SuperWand runs up to 80 hours on a single 9 volt battery, with an optional rechargeable kit available, and its rugged molded housing with a structurally isolated coil is built to take daily checkpoint use.

Features
360 Degree Detection Field
Uniform sensitivity runs the full length of the blade and out to the tip, so there is no blind spot. Tip pinpointing helps a screener locate exactly where the metal sits.
Audible or Silent Vibrate Alarm
A dual alarm gives a clear audible tone or a silent vibrate and LED alert for discreet screening. A three-color LED shows green for power, amber for low battery and red for an alarm.
Self-Calibrating, One-Touch Operation
A self-calibrating microprocessor keeps the SuperWand tuned with no manual adjustment, and a simple three-way switch for on, off and silent makes it easy for any staff member to use.
Up to 80 Hours on a 9 Volt Battery
A single 9 volt battery runs the SuperWand up to 80 hours, and an optional rechargeable battery kit is available for high-traffic checkpoints.
