Garrett ACE APEX HP with Headphones Metal Detector

Product Information

This particular model comes with a few handy extras that can make all the difference as you prospect. With the detector, you’re getting a search coil cover and a control box cover. The latter accessory slips onto your control box to protect it from light drizzles. The clear plastic window ensures that you can still take advantage of all the functionality the device has to offer. On top of those two protective extras, the machine also comes with a carrying case and Garrett’s EasySound headphones. Multi frequency– you can search by using every frequency separately, or using all frequencies at the same time 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. As always, for the technical specification nerds and thorough product researchers out there below are links to the English and Spanish versions of the Garrett ACE Apex user manual. If you want to know the full details of the device, there is no better place to look than the user manual.

Slow recovery speed – The Apex would miss targets that were just a few inches apart. It would detect the first one, but due to the slow recovery speed from that first target, it missed the target next to it.

Second Hand Metal Detectors – The Pros & Cons

Garrett Apex has an audio gain control and separate control for iron volume. We should mention that there was no such possibility in many previous metal detector models, which was completely inconvenient when using the devices. The Garrett ACE Apex comes with the multi-flex feature which means the ability to operate at several frequencies. In this case, the machine can operate on 4 different ones: Note: at this time, the Apex software upgrade is not supported by other Windows operating systems or by Apple systems. The ACE Apex earns its name as the best device in the Garrett ACE series, the Apex offers several significant upgrades that set it apart from the next best ACE series option, the Garrett ACE 400. As if the system’s impressive identification features weren’t enough, the Garrett ACE 400 can also give you some basic depth information. This feature isn’t as complex as those found on premium detectors, but it certainly gets the job done.

Minelab also used at the time something called BBS (Broad Band Spectrum) and FBS (Full Band Spectrum) in machines like their Excalibur, Explorer and Etrac. (I used an Etrac for ages!) In simple words, Garrett Apex is a version of multifrequency Garrett ACE 400 or even an upgraded version of Garrett AT PRO. Taking into account that both metal detector models are considered to be good ones, adding a multifrequency function will definitely make the new model no less popular than the latter. Direct drive buttons for most frequently used controls. Easy-access menu adjustments for other controls. This advanced metal detector from Garrett shows on its screen a unique identifier number known as the digital target identifier (Target ID), the number ranging from 0 to 99. It isn’t a great secret that Minelab pioneered the first multi VLF technology which they placed in their Equinox 600 and 800 detectors. (I currently use a Minelab Equinox 800)This article will help you understand what the machine is all about so you will make an informed decision whether this detector is for you or not! The Apex’s 18 kHz frequency allows enhanced detection of small gold nuggets, even in highly mineralized soil. However, this is not the best detector for gold hunting. Ideas on the Garrett Ace Apex troubleshooting Lets be clear the APEX is not considered an advanced or high end metal detector but it wants to be. If you are going to compare the APEX to something like the Equinox or XP Deus you shouldn’t. For an entry level machine, the APEX is fabulous machine. Its is advanced enough to compete with some of the mid-level machines on the market. The detector has a weatherproof design for dusty, humid, or wet environments; and it is fully submersible to 10-foot depth.
