Garrett AT Gold metal detector
The Garrett AT GOLD metal detector can be used on any terrain (AT = All Terrain) and, due to its high operating frequency, is particularly suitable for the search for gold (natural gold such as nuggets) or for the search for small coins and pieces of jewelry. The AT Gold enables you to penetrate more deeply and to be more sensitive to gold / natural gold, e.g. nuggets / jewelry, coins, artifacts and general searches.
Search and find in the mountains, on the fields by the lake or in stony terrain, wherever you can find natural gold or coins.
You can use this AT GOLD metal detector to search in the rain or in shallow water areas. This device is waterproof and pressure-resistant up to a depth of 3 meters. The supplied land headphones are waterproof up to the earcups – an underwater headphone is optionally available for full underwater use.
The Garrett AT GOLD is due to its 2 DISC modes for the metal masking an excellent detector for the search for coins, gold and artifacts – Here the high frequency and the very good 40-step iron masking with switchable iron tone proves itself. The digital conductivity display – 0-99 – in addition to the block display of the type of metal – in conjunction with the analog and proportional sound output, helps to determine the type of metal and often also the object in the ground more precisely before digging.
The new 5×8 inch (13 x 20 cm) double D-spool is included as a standard spool. This smaller coil, in conjunction with the high 18 kHz operating frequency, is ideal for the smallest precious metal objects and coins. The gold washer and prospector will also find the ideal detector in the AT GOLD. Due to the narrow penetration depth of the DD (double-D) construction, a quick detection of objects lying close together with different conductance values is much better possible. Of course, encapsulated in a waterproof manner, like all GARRETT search coils.

Key Features of the Garrett Gold Metal Detector :
- ALL-METAL MODE: True all-metal mode offers deepest detection depth and sensitivity on the smallest nuggets.
- GRAPHIC TARGET ANALYZING: Simultaneously shows the target’s conductivity and the detector’s discrimination pattern.
- ALL TERRAIN: Designed for use in wet, humid and dusty environments. Weatherproof housing can be immersed in water to 10-foot (3m) depth.
- DIGITAL TARGET ID: Numeral scale from 0 to 99; indicates a target metal’s conductivity for increased ability to distinguish targets from each other.
- HIGH-RESOLUTIONI IRON DISCRIMINATION: Provides 40 points of iron resolution; controlled with touchpads and viewed as a digital number on the LCD for the most precise ability to separate a good target from iron trash.
- ADJUSTABLE THRESHOLD: Allows the user to manually adjust the audio threshold (constant background sound) to better hear targets.
- PRO MODE AUDIO: Proportional audio response and Tone Roll Audio™ features provide more target information.
- IRON AUDIO™: Allows user to hear discriminated iron and to audibly identify problematic flat iron objects like bottle caps and washers.
- ALL-METAL IRON AUDIO™: A Garrett exclusive feature that allows user to audibly identify iron objects even while operating in a true all-metal mode.
- GROUND BALANCE (MANUAL): Allows the user to manually adjust the detector’s ground balance to reduce the detrimental effects of ground mineralization.
- GROUND BALANCE WINDOW™: A Garrett exclusive feature that allows user to “spread” the ground balance setting to reduce the response to subtle ground variations.
- FAST TRACK™ GROUND BALANCE: Automatic feature that allows user to quickly ground balance the detector in mineralized soil conditions.
- ELECTRONIC PINPOINTING: This Non-Motion All-Metal Mode is used to precisely locate a detected target’s location in the ground.
- ONE-TOUCH TREASURE HUNTING: With the touch of a button, your metal detector is powered on, automatically reset to factory (or your) settings and ready to search!
- Digital Target ID (0 to 99 scale)
For the first time Garrett has included a target ID scale. The Garrett AT Gold includes a digital target identification system to give you the specific target value.
This will help you identify buried targets with great precision and ease.
All targets are shown on the LCD display by number. Targets that are closest to 1 are the most ferrous (iron). As you go up the scale, the most conductive items come up with numbers closer to 99.

Treasure Hunt and Prospect for Gold in All Terrains
The Garrett Gold metal detector is designed using a waterproof control housing and waterproof connections. These features protect the detector in dusty, murky, wet and moist environments. The AT Gold can be submerged in water to a depth of 10 feet. Use it to treasure hunt along the shore and in ponds, streams and swimming spots. Head back to those old forgotten swimming holes and recover lost valuables missed by other metal detectors. Now you can experience one detector that is equally good on land or in the water. Take your treasure hunting to a new extreme.
Here the Garrett AT Gold is shown being used in shallow water. It is important to note that the blue waterproof headphones shown above (optional) must be used if the headphones are to be immersed in water. The standard land headphones provided with the AT Gold cannot be submerged in the water.

Shown above, the Garrett AT Gold 5″ x 8″ PROformance™ Double-D search coil ships standard with this detector.
Understanding the Garrett AT Gold Double D Search Coil Design

Understanding the Garrett AT Gold Standard and Pro Audio Modes:



In this illustration, the two targets side by side would produce one strong signal from a binary audio detector. When hunting with the proportional audio, a rise and fall of audio target response will allow you to interpret the two distinct targets.
Understanding Garrett’s Tone Roll Audio Feature The Tone Roll Audio provides you with the most audible target information and will help classify targets, particularly iron targets. Normal metal detectors with standard binary audio, produce a single target sound based upon the target’s strongest signal. With Tone Roll Audio, you are given a variance of target tones as the search coil nears, passes over and then departs from the target. By listening to these varying phases of audio sounds, you can achieve better overall target analysis.


In the photo above, you can visually see the normal division of low, mid and high tones on the AT Gold detector. In this example, the Iron Audio is set to the off position.

In the photo above, you can visually see that with the iron discrimination set to 20, all targets under 20 are silent with the Iron Audio set to the off position.

In this final example above, with the Iron Audio feature ON, the targets below 20 are now heard as a low-tone and mid-tone target response is expanded down to 20.
