Steve Herschbach Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 My 13 kHz - 19 kHz detectors found many ounces of gold. There is nothing wrong with 20 kHz. It may not get Gold Bug 2 type bits, but no reason it can’t do well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to have the option, but on an Ace level detector am thankful they are at least providing 20 khz as a Single Frequency option on Apex. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Found quite a bit of jewelry with my Tejon that is 17.5 khz? I would like to see a new AT mf with 10, 20, 30 & 40 khz with an all metal option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrett Ace Apex Data & Reviews Steve are their wireless headphones proprietary or are they doing BT like Minelab? I'll likely skip the Ace Apex, but when their AT Pro SMF machine comes out, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it. I'd imagine about the time Garrett's AT Pro SMF machine comes out that Nokta's SMF machine will also be at least announced, probably some time next year. Interesting times ahead! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 Z-Lynk is proprietary and at 17ms is faster than low latency Bluetooth. And unlike the Minelab system, all Z-Lynk products are compatible with each other, including the Z-Lynk enabled AT Pro Pointer.

Joe D. Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Simon, You know you can buy covers for most any detector if the color is "dog nuts"? objectionable! Also, a can of spray paint can fix any color! Maybe chrome color! That way it will look to everyone looking at it, almost invisible!??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Guys a detector is like a woman in so many ways. Its no such thing as a ugly woman. Its just some look better than others. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least coils like the Nel Snake will end up being available for it which would really give something that Minelab and their Equinox are missing. If they get the MF detector right having the ability to run aftermarket coils may end up being what pulls their product in front of the Vanquish for the Apex and AT MF for the Equinox. I really hope they've got a good product in the Apex and they've somehow pulled a rabbit out of their hat with the MF technology. whatever they have done, they have been forced to '"work around" minelab's patents.this may, or may not have serious consequences as to performance.only time ,and reports from the field will determine when we know to a certainty.
