Garrett Metal Detectors ACE APEX Standard Package GAR1142320 Metal Detectors

Product Information

Different wireless system technologies offer different benefits and manufacturers have competing systems. Typically in our case here, Garrett has the “Z Lynk” system and Minelab have the “AptX”.

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)Garrett’s Multi Flex technology, fueled by a cutting edge, broad-bandwidth digital platform, simply gives you more versatility with the Apex than can be found on any detector in its price range! Choose from powerful single frequencies to enhance detection on specific targets*, or select one of Apex’s simultaneous multifrequency modes to achieve excellent detection on all targets in all soils. Care must be taken with this function as turning it fully on can effect depth and recovery speed so the situation you are in on the day and your location will dictate how much you use this helpful function. Discrimination defines how good is a metal detector at seeing between just a piece of iron and copper targets or gold nuggets. This model has 20 discrimination points to add or exclude from the discrimination segment during the metal detecting process.

Minelab’s Vanquish 540 has a wider range of frequencies included in its version of simultaneous multifrequency (Multi-IQ), spanning from 5 kHz to 40 kHz, and they opt to allow that offset the need for ground balancing. The Garrett Ace Apex, on the other hand, does have automatic ground balancing but its simultaneous multifrequency ranges from 5 kHz to 20 kHz. The Apex also enables you to select single-frequencies while the Vanquish only offers its Multi-IQ frequency.Since Garrett Ace Apex is a direct competitor to Minelab Vanquish 550 and Nokta Makro Simplex, we believe making a comprehensive comp

Being widely known that different VLF frequencies have different benefits and shortcomings, the race was now on however to seek the newest, latest technology and multi VLF was it! Now, there are eight channels for frequency shifts – and we mean, eight channels for each frequency option. Together, they make 48 channels for frequency shifts. In theory, this will make the machine protected from electromagnetic interference of any kind. This is where the comparisons get a little more nuanced as these devices are much more comparable to each other than the previous comparisons. Garrett ACE Apex metal detector uses a multifrequency, i.e. it uses several various operating frequencies simultaneously. (read more about operating frequencies here). Garrett Apex can also use just one operating frequency like Minelab Equinox. The following frequencies are available – 5 kHz, 10 kHz, 15 kHz, 20 kHz. The device offers two multifrequency modes: Multifrequency and Multi-Salt (the mode was designed especially for metal detecting in mineralized soils). US coins’ – this option was specially designed since the company is American, and Americans are its main customers.Yes, Garrett is working on additional coils for the Apex. Pricing and release date information will be forthcoming. This could be in the form of overhead or underground power cables or a nearby mobile phone transmitter for example. Utilizing this function, you can define the exact target location, and you won’t have to spend much time and effort when digging in several places simultaneously and then be disappointed with the result. Recovery speed However, the battery life also depends on the search mode being used, the search coil, and the overall settings.
