Garrett Scorpion Gold Stinger Discontinued


Recommended Posts

RIP Gold Stinger! Garrett quietly discontinued the Scorpion Gold Stinger last year. It is no longer on their website or in their new catalog and generally unavailable for purchase though a few no doubt remain on dealer shelves.

The Stinger was introduced in 1990 and so enjoyed a 25 year run. Pretty amazing really for such a lackluster machine. The Stinger was basically an old 15 kHz Groundhog stuffed in an updated box. The box I loved to hate, as it featured without a doubt the worst battery replacement system on the market. It also suffered from a dearth of accessory coils.

Once the AT Gold was released it was inevitable that the Stinger would finally go its way and the day has finally come. About time is all I can say.

Po little Scorpion. I can't believe it had that long of a run...The Infinium did a 12 year run before being updated in the ATX. I hope the ATX does not have that long of a run before they do updates or V 2.
