https://a-storm-is-coming.com/. “a storm is coming in 2024.” …. just in time for Christmas?

Just saw this post on the Australian Garrett facebook page "A storm is coming". AT Pro replacement?

In the relatively "short" time I got to personally know Charles Garrett, he was all the goodness people long praised him for. I began metal detecting 4 years after Garrett went into business. I started using Garrett metal detectors in 1978 and I've looked up to Charles Garrett as my mentor ever since... But not just for his metal detecting adventures, but for his willingness to teach others and just be a friendly, unassuming, down-to-earth kinda guy. I miss that era when I would get a secret phone call to test a new detector. He once offered me employment at Garrett, only to be turned down because I loved where I live so much. I often wonder what my working life would have been like had I accepted. I used plenty of other metal detector brands in my lifetime as well, but I find it personally comforting to be now using only the brand I started with. Like everyone else I'm anxious to know what Garrett will be introducing. If it is as good or better than the Apex I currently use, I can't wait. For me, the Apex has been a really well thought out performer, because for me, sophistication is simplicity... I like to hit the field swinging! I have always enjoyed Garrett's careful engineering and rugged construction. Testament is their solid 60 years in our hobby/sport. Since Garrett is celebrating their 60th Anniversary, I find it fitting they possibly introduce a new detector this month... Charles Garrett arrived and departed this world in the month of April. But like everyone else, I can only guess at what the newest Garrett will be like and when it will arrive. To me, "A Storm Is Coming" says the new detector will hopefully follow in their "All Terrain" tradition. I hope they keep it lightweight, ergonomically sound, and for those of us over 70... A large, simple display! This all is akin to being young again! Bravo Garrett!

I was lucky.....I got the last one.

This was on their website last week. https://www.facebook.com/Garrettmetaldetectorsusa/

Digger Dawn, one of the YouTubers who is actually watchable, dropped a little hint in her latest video. She says a new Garrett detector is coming this year. She mentions it at 14:40 in the video. Maybe it is the flagship machine we have all been waiting for...
