I expect this same machine will have a waterproof version with a larger coil to replace the AT series. It is so loaded with features I don't think there is nothing left to upgrade on that part.
with so many detectors almost too complicated for the majority of beginners and novices to use, I appreciate that Garrett Always gives a huge array of options while still making it push button , simple and user friendly .
Great question. Are the multi frequency used just for more versatility or does it offer extremely enhanced identification of targets by the discrimination circuit? It would be nice for the discrimination circuit to be able to detect slight shifts in frequency returns between pulltabs and gold etc etc
It’s about freaking time Garrett made a multi-frequency machine. The machine looks awesome. I think it’s time to sell my back ups (Ace 250 & Ace 350) and replace them with this one. It actually looks like it could compete with some of the big boy detectors. I still love my E-Trac.
Hi Garrett . wicked reveal today 🤩. I have a question concerning gold and did notice you mentioning fine gold being able to be detected with the 20 Khz and multi frequency. but I notice you have not got gold labeled on the top of the control box . I am from the uk and have happily found full gold staters with your ace 400i and was wondering if the Apex is very capable of doing so also. and would love to see a real situational depth test to show its capability . many thanks jason
Does anyone know how long these built-in batteries last? It doesn't look like you can replace them yourself. I'm really eager to get Apex, but I'm concerned about the built-in battery.
@@costinstoica7255 I saw a video of somebody who's nox battery died after a year. It was repaired free of charge, but how long will that second last. Garrett probably thought about this, but can't find any info on battery replacement.
@@costinstoica7255 Certainly looks like that. I'm currently looking into buying my first detector, but I think I'll go and get the Vanquish because of the proven Multi-IQ and external battery compound.
I have the simplex, but do like the idea behind the multi frequency. Both have one thing I love/ hate about them, the internal battery. Once it goes, how much to replace?! I don't see people swinging either in twenty years from now like I still do my vaquero. My advice is to make the next one accessable to the user so they can replace it themselves.
Finally you guys stepped it up a bit, trimmed the weight of the fat box and nose heavy batteries, backlight, LARGE easy to read display. This is one I may take a look at. Keep working on improving dont just sit on it thinking it will be innovative for years to come.
@@dirtfishingnewfoundland4353 I'd rather have all this features than what the AT Pro offers.. large Target ID for 1, lightweight without a bulk of batteries in front of your wrist making it knows heavy for 2.. multi frequency for 3.. I will leave it at that
Love it..Placed my pre-order. Won't take much to be better than the Simplex and the NOX..I had both and after a month of digging the same trash as my other detectors I sold them both....
Wow Steve I'm excited to get my hands on one and make some videos. Hopefully I will be able to get out to the hunt next year and give that detector away to a lucky youngster.
Great review - thanks. Question in reference to the charging port, I hear through the grapevine that some APEX owners have been successful at adding a permanent small magnetic charging lead to the port that is left on all the time and fits under the cover for magnetic charging. We all know how ports can get discombobulated over time - your thoughts.
Hello! These two machines specialize in two different areas. If you are primarily searching for gold, we recommend you take a look at our selection of prospecting detectors. If you are looking for coins, relics, or jewelry or are searching on the beach, the Apex is an awesome choice!
I'll believe it when Nugget Noggin or Aqua Chigger is using one. They both seem pretty happy with the Old School AT Max/However it's nice to see Garrett going to a flat screen, so much easier to read. I hope Chigg gets one and gives it a good workout. I'll be waiting until then to buy one.
I do like the way that it looks, and also enjoyed the live reveal that you had. I was hoping that it would have been a multi-frequency atpro. But I will stick with my Equinox.
Each detector has it's own market. You can look at what's out there and try and design the detector... they probably started 2 years ago. So when some of the others added features it was already in the pre production phase. Detectors are always going to leapfrog each other. I think they focus on a simple easy to use detector without a lot of settings. Problem is people get used to being able to set reactivity etc. I normally use my XP Deus or Equinox 800 but today I pulled out the AT Pro... it did very well and I had forgotten how simple the controls are. I think that is the market they are aiming for. Right now the push is on for Multi Frequenty detectors.
Multi Frequency is a bonus but is not everything. My Xp Deus '(light) finds in single frequency everything my Equinox 800 finds in multi frequence and is better hitting on coins in parcs. If i had to choose between the single frequency Deus or Multi frequency Equinox i would go for the Deus.
Lets see a comparision between nox and Apex!!!! You would be surprised !!! Already made comparision 🙂🙂🙂 Thanks Gabriel for let me be one of the first ones!!!!!!
5 distinct tones is a big plus….as a current owner of an ACE 400 and an AT PRO(both are good, for just coin hunting on the beach, the ACE gets deeper and finds more coins. I was surprised) could guess I’m a bit behind….was really hoping GARRETT would do a multi-freq VLF machine. Compare to the EQUINOX 800? …Garrett is 50% of the cost AND MADE IN THE USA. Overall experience has been A+…….just good people.
I'm betting within 6 months you release the waterproof version everybody really wants. Apex at pro then max haha. Love garrett but I hate this type of marketing. So until then I'll keep using my at pro.
Its been 6 months and your prediction was wrong. Garrett isn't going to hurt their sales of their waterproof detectors by making the apex waterproof. You will need to buy both.
I was wrong about the time but still think they will have updated waterproof version soon. At least I would think so since that's the only way alot of people like myself would stop using the At pro-max detectors that are very awesome.
@@chrisjohnson3319 the point is to make their new line of machines multi frequency so eventually they will be leaving behind the old technology of the pro, gold, max, and focusing on multi-flex on the newer machines lol. single frequency machines are trash and that's why people left garret to go to mindlab. I can find 3 times more with a multi then a single freq. Also another reason why garret introduced their first mult-freq in the apex because mindlab was killing garret when it came to performance. I have the at pro and apex and the apex performs far better especially with the new update for the apex.
I'm going to wait and see what those who use it in the field say. Looks like a great detector, but there may be some bugs in it that will come out after people start using them.
It looks great. I would bet that this is the new beginning of Garrett . They will make a whole new line based on these designs and more . AT series all waterproof, maybe new design on shaft on upper end model. This is the right direction.
@alexey yurevich а цена известна? Нужны нормальные тесты по глубине, разделению целей, ложным срабатыванием и т.д Как по мне пока тот же Прохор только в профиль :)
Has me thinking there could be a patent issue here ? How did they do it ? As you say the same first 4 freq's of the Nox . But one things for sure it will have a very big following , Garrett sells trillions of Ace's etc . The Americans are going to love it . To be honest as a Nox , ET user I will be watching this new machine. At around £500 it looks a very good machine for the price. The Vanquish might have the wind taken out of its sails I think. Though the Nox should be fine. It will be interesting to see what comes next from the other makes like Whites , XP , C.Scope and Fisher ?
If the APEX happens to be a more advanced machine than the AT series, then the pricepoint should be somewhere between $600-$900 depending on the package they offer.
I have an old fisher F75, which is 15 years old, and it was second hand. I have been looking for a new machine, and this one has what I need in a Detector.
search in youtube Garret AT Pro vs Equinox 800 vs XP Deus, you will understand how bad is garrett, cant see nothing deeper then 10inch😂 and apex will be same story
AT Pro is waterproof. Why would anyone pay $500 for a metal detector that's not waterproof? I also don't like the size of that coil. Good idea, but worthless in the woods. Won't cover as much ground as my AT Pro with the 8.5"x11" coil.
Sorry but the Minelab Equinox has 40 khz in there multiple fqz. I had my Equinox since February 2018 and it still impressed me every time I hit the beach!!!
My ATP and an ACE 250 years ago before that have been great, bullet proof, reliable machines, with decent depth in the city (ATP). Particularly when tweaked to the limit. Unfortunately though this new machine just doesn't seem to have the same cost/value ratio as my Simplex. The price and not being submersible is the fly on my pie. Tons of great features though ! If I was newer in hobby and my only machine prior was a lower end ACE, I could see the jump. But I'll pass.
I'm excited to try it out someday! I thought the presentation was very well made, and also curious when the Q&A will be available? There's a lot of questions already! 😅
I hope i can afford any kind of metal detector some day. I am amazed finding ancient and valuable thing.. Prospecting to seach from world war2 Japanese tunnels in my province..

What a shame you didn't make it waterproof though, you have just missed the target with this one, plus the price is too much for a non waterproof detector. It so could have been a simplex and vanquish beater if you had those got two things right! Such a shame!
everybody keeps saying waterproof..it's rain proof...had my AT pro for 5 years..don't think I ever had it under water...maybe not that many places around here for that ..but most people hunt fields and yards..yea if you hunt water then it's not for you..
492 with headphones for 425 without... I'm pretty sure you guys struck out with this one and I think I might just switch Brands all together after swinging Garrett for 5 years now. I bid you farewell!!!
That day is gone and at 15 hr battery this thing lacks . Give it 2 years and this cheap battery won't last a single hunt . Buy cheap you get cheap . I'll stick with me nox
I like the looks of it; but wish there was a little more yellow. love the looks of the new coil and really like the sound for iron tone. Not ready to buy one just yet would like to see what people who do buy or test it have to say but so far thumbs up on what I saw in the video.
Had this for over a year. It still doesn’t fail to impress me with its capabilities, on soil or sand.
I expect this same machine will have a waterproof version with a larger coil to replace the AT series. It is so loaded with features I don't think there is nothing left to upgrade on that part.
if they do bring an AT version it will be overpriced too.

Don't see anything about it being waterproof 🤔
@@mentaldetectingireland The Garrett ACE Apex has a rainproof control box, while its lower shaft and searchcoil are fully submersible.

Are the existing coils for At Pro and Max able to be used also or are they only for those machines?
Unfortunately no. The Apex has its own line of coils.
