NEW Garrett Machine Coming!!!

[AC500]

sweet cant wait to see the next bottle cap killer they come out with

just because you choose to hunt where bottle caps hide and dont know how to use yours, that doesn't necessarily make every Garrett a cap finder. But then I doubt you're happy swinging anything, well almost anything

I don't think that it's meant to be an upgrade from the AT pro, it seems to be a pulse induction machine with the ability to prospect. Also, it seems that the control box is mounted beneath the arm cup, not above the grip like the AT Pro.

Look carefully at the video............................. and the carry bag Warren is taking out of his Land Rover..........



Now look at the link.........Perhaps the "shape" of things to come ?

I've got to wonder what the price will be for this really nicely built and thought out machine will cost. One big criteria I had was portability and the ability to compact the unit for travel, (I ride dual sport motorcyles) and I wanted something that I can pack on my bike. This is it! Only factor that will hold me back is the price. Hopefully around or under $1500 but I bet it will be in the 1800-2200 dollar area.

Im excited

Im excited

Yup me too, if its what Im looking for an upgrade will be in my future.

 

[dale3fan28]

Maybe its an upgrade to the AT with a 3rd mode that is PI Technology

Garrett just posted a video today on their corporate YouTube channel that is apparently a teaser for a new machine that they are calling the "Extreme."



I hope they stick to their past and make it affordable to the average decterist and not just the rich guy.

 

[christo000]

Im with u there, I may have high end detectors but paid no where mear what they really go for I look for those guys who think.oh its a $2000 machine ill get rich quick & when they figure its not what its cracked up to be ill be there to buy it cheap lol

Very observant Ivanll. The new detector obviously packs down well. I just hope that it is an improvement on my much used Infinium.

Im wondering now,I mean by the,vid it gets small im just wondering now which one will pack down smaller this new one or the deus xp the deus packs down small enough that u can out it in ur saddle bag on ur motorcycle & pretty much fit it in any back pack I wonder

 

[Kodiak43351]

I haven't had my pro very long and I love it but if the new one is affordable I may have to talk wife into letting me buy it and keep the pro.

 

[christo000]

Nothing wrong with a couple machines in that arsenal, got a couple different aresenals lol

if the price/feature mode is like the AT Pro (which they have made a killing on!)... they could hit it right again! If Minelab, Fisher/Technetics, Whites or the other big wigs don't put out a Fall 2013 teaser soon, Garrett is gonna make a fortune!

 

[maliaros]

I believe it will be a machine on Sea hunter mark 2 price range.

 

[AC500]

Anything over the $1000 mark I wont bite just yet, but if it's in reach then I may just have to give one a try.

Yeah, and there are only so many of us idiots out here....

 

[bottlebum]

I'm hoping that it's an offshoot of the Recon. Same style only a little lighter.

Well, if you really want to know what Garrett has been up to, a patent search or two will give you hint! I can't tell with certainty from the patent holder's name, because I don't know the employees are at Garrett. In any case, the name Garrett doesn't show up. However, there is a late patent (last 18 months), that describes a pulse induction detector with resonance discrimination. If indeed that is what the new detector does, it is yet another step forward.

I think most detectorists have a basic idea of how their detector works, even though the technology behind them is fairly complex, especially ones which table discrimination (comparing the received frequency and phase shift against a know pattern). In reality, it isn't rocket science although some might think so. The real hard part of designing a metal detector which can meet today's demands from us diggers, is a juxtaposition between processor power, battery technology, and affordability. If we had unlimited funds, ground-based radar systems using interferometry would be readily available, and inexpensive—they aren't!

I'm also of the opinion that some technology stinks! The double D coil is one of them. It is true that they work better in mineralized soil conditions, and perhaps (urban legend?) detect deeper. But they still offer poor pinpointing. I regularly use a Garrett GTI-2500, and most of the time I don't need to use my pinpointer, especially on coins. I'll stick my neck out, but if you live in an area with low mineralization, it's fairly hard to beat a BFO detector. Yes, they don't discriminate, but sometimes you don't want too!

If they ask me what I wanted, it would be a switchover to Lithium battery powered units, color touch screens (think weather proof), and much lighter weight (carbon fiber construction?).
