## Description

desertcart.com : Garrett A.T. Gold - Made in The USA - Waterproof Gold Metal Detector for Adults with Headphones - Iron Audio to Identify Junk Iron, Pinpoint Mode : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Review: Really nice metal detector - 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.
Review: Great machine - Great machine. Easy to use and understand. Accurate.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Could it be use underwater without earphones?**
A: Yes. There is an external speaker that works underwater but you can hear the sound better with the garrett underwater headphones that are sold separately.

**Q: What makes the Pro salt water friendly and the Gold not...?**
A: The higher frequency of the AT Gold increases its sensitivity to smaller objects. Because of this , it does not perform as well in wet salt mineralization.

**Q: Can i put the bigger head of the at pro on this (gold model) and then use it for salt water?**
A: No, the coil is not what allows the device to go in salt water. The bigger coil from the pro does work but it does not allow the at gold to read in salt water accurately.

**Q: Is this gold detector or just a metal detector?**
A: The Garrett AT Gold is a versatile metal detector that is optimized for gold nugget and relic hunting and works on all types of metals including coins and jewelry.

Great machine. Easy to use and understand. Accurate.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Metal Detector for all!
*by S***R on August 3, 2020*

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!
