Garrett A.T. Gold - Made in The USA - Waterproof Gold Metal Detector for Adults with Headphones - Iron Audio to Identify Junk Iron, Pinpoint Mode

This is without a doubt the best metal detector I have ever owned and I owned my first one in 1971. The three modes (all metal and disc 1 and disc 2) work great and switch with a mere touch of one button with your thumb. YOu never have to use two hands, all the switching you wish to do can be done with one hand. The 5x8 coil is the best for coins and small items, much better than the larger coil that comes with the AT pro. The reason I went with the Gold and not the Pro is the cost of the coil, if you figure in the cost of the added 5x8 coil, the Gold is a better buy! The large coil on the Pro is not as good in reviews as the 5x8 coil so that is the reasoning for going with this Gold and the circuitry is better on the gold also, the only drawback is that it can not be used in salt water...you can use it on the ocean sand beach just not in the salt water. I have already had my Gold wet as I was hunting in the rain. Works great. Very lightweight, very small, love it. I might add that this detector has controls that are easily understood if you watch the DVD that comes with the detector, the controls are easier to understand than my old CZ-5 detector (Fisher). This is the first detector I have owned that has depth display, and the first with "notch discrimination", as it has 3 different modes of operation 1. all metal 2. discrim one and 3. discrim two. The discrim two has the notch discrimination. You can also dial up the iron discrimination from 1 to 40.

Great machine. Easy to use and understand. Accurate.

I've had this little guy for about a month now, and have taken it out a few times... I've only been in places in the desert where people have fired their guns into the valleys and draws... I have never been more excited to find spent bullets and casings, and little things like taco bell hot sauce packets. LOL (Laugh Out Loud)... I need to get more experience with this thing, but I not under an illusion of what this thing can or cannot do either! It lives up to its name and more, and I cannot WAIT to find something with it that will blow your socks off with it. The ONLY problem I have with this thing is it does not come with Air Conditioning. LOL... it is a very weather appropriate piece of hardware that most people have never taken under consideration. You can't go out very well in 115° weather and think you are gonna do that all day long. Here in the Sonora Desert where I live, the temps determine when it is or is not appropriate to go out and hunt. That being said-- I am totally ready to go outside with the kids and create memories to last a lifetime!

I'm new and inexperienced and love it. Treasures abound.. Well maybe not treasures but I've used it with great ease and never used one before. I do recommend the Garrett youtube channel. Also, I'm not sure I got the Headphones. As excited as i was to get the package, 6mos later I don't think I got the head phones

I love this metal detector works perfect comfortable to use easy to understand for first time users like me I recommend this product

This machine puts my bounty hunter lone star pro to shame there is a large difference in pricing but it is completely worth every penny. I would buy this time and time again. Anyone looking to enhance their all around detecting experience I highly recommend this machine very simple to use and with highly detailed owners manual and DVD. The AT pinpointer is amazing as well this bundle is completely amazing. I've only used it about an hour so far and already for 5 coins in the same area I've been using my bounty hunter. Very happy with the results. Happy Digging!!

It’s a good product, but did not make it clear that you couldn’t use it in ocean.

I did a lot of research on these machines and read a lot of user reviews before I bought mine last month. I have used several metal detectors over the years, but never owned one myself and I would consider myself a novice detector. As such, I wanted a machine with an easy learning curve, but all the bells and whistles of a professional machine. I settled on the AT Gold because I live too far from the ocean to need a salt water machine and I am more likely to take my machine into the California foothills and nugget hunt. It has a small coil on it, but so far I have had no problems finding deep coins at the park. I love that the machine is waterproof up to 10 feet. The stock headphones however are not waterproof, FYI - those cost about $100. Pros: Reasonable cost. Digital screen. Four frequencies. Iron Audio - super helpful in trashy areas! Coils are interchangeable and can be upgraded. Battery life- about 25 hours on 4 AA batteries. Has an optional automatic ground balance, helpful for beginners. Two year manufacturers warranty. Lightweight and collapsible frame. Cons: Cant be used in Saltwater. Coil cover not included. Storage bag not included. Tips: Invest in a good handheld pinpoint detector such as a Garret carrot or Land or Sea, it will speed your recovery time and make your experience much more enjoyable.

As described. Great product and fantasic value. Thank you!

Funktioniert wie erhofft. Glück Auf!

Works as it should, bit of a learning curve tho

I habe had this noww for 2 years. No issues and able to puck up clusters of flakes rather easily. To find flakes need to set Freq to 4. I live in high meineral area freq comes in handy to help eliminate. Also in a colder climate wher past -14 the Batteries begin to drain and fail after 30 minitues. Shipping from great right on time.
