Garrett ACE APEX HP with Headphones Metal Detector

Product Information

The internal rechargeable battery of Garrett Apex provides 15 hours of the device continuous operation, depending on the device settings and search mode. You can charge the battery using the USB cable (mini USB). Wireless is becoming more and more expected in a metal detectors as the years go by. It is a simple quality-of-life upgrade that both improves comfort and allows detectorists to explore more advanced metal detecting headphones that can feature vibrations and other signals. This is almost a baseline for accessibility in my mind outside of the built-in vibration options you can find in Minelab and Nokta devices. Iron Volume The device has six search modes — All metal, Coins, US Coins, Jewelry, Relics, and Custom. It has a pinpointer function, manual and automatic ground balancing IRON AUDIO function and 5-tone sound response.

Note: at this time, the Apex software upgrade is not supported by other Windows operating systems or by Apple systems. Garrett’s ACE Apex also includes built-in Z-Lynk Wireless Technology, enabling the use of wireless headphones for a more comfortable and convenient detecting experience. This feature is meant to help reduce latency and provide a more immersive experience for the user that prefers to cut the cord. The detector has a unique beach saltwater mode that lets you use it on saltwater beaches with ease, especially since there is high mineralization is high in such places.You’re not getting a standard circular search coil with the ACE 400. Instead, it’s equipped with a DD search coil that measures about 8.5 inches wide and 11 inches long. Dubbed the “PROformance Coil,” this unique component enhanced performance tenfold. All this is not cool, because the company actually supports license that protects their technology from other competitors, and there are rumours that other companies will not be able, or legally allowed, to make alternative compatible coils for the new Apex. In their turn, Garrett themselves are not clear about when they release additional coils, and whether they are going to do so in the nearest future at all. This is where the comparisons get a little more nuanced as these devices are much more comparable to each other than the previous comparisons. The company began to lose its positions on the market because it hasn’t updated the product line for a long time, and its rivals started to produce better metal detectors for more affordable prices. With its Multi-Flex technology, adjustable frequency options, automatic ground balancing, and other modern features, the ACE Apex provides an exceptional detecting experience that sets it apart from other models in the Garrett ACE series.

One of the unique features of the ACE Apex is its Z-Lynk wireless headphone technology. The Apex metal detector features wireless Z-Lynk technology, and it is available with and without the MS-3 wireless headphones. The standout feature of the ACE Apex is its Multi-Flex technology, which allows the detector to operate in multiple frequencies simultaneously. This technology significantly enhances the detector’s performance, providing increased depth and target separation while also reducing the impact of ground mineralization. The exact depth measurements vary depending on the target type and ground conditions. Enhanced electronics, a 13.6 kHz operating frequency, and eight Sensitivity/Depth adjustments allow the user to detect a wide range of targets—including silver coins, gold jewelry, and brass relics—deeper than other Garrett AT detectors. 6. Target ID (VDI Chart) If you’re interested in searching for specific types of metals, the ACE 400 has you covered. It’s equipped with iron and notch discrimination. The iron discrimination feature works alongside the Iron Audio system to help you identify junk metals. You can choose to ignore those metals altogether so that you can focus on other items. Higher frequency machines weren’t as deep seeking but performed better on smaller targets and thinner sectioned coinage like hammered British silver coins.The detector uses that information and works alongside the built-in discrimination system to identify iron in an instant. You’ll hear subtle nuances in the audio alert tone, which may make it easy to ignore items you don’t want. Think of it as feeling the object with sound. 2. Target Identification and Analysis
