The Garrett AT Gold metal detector delivers outstanding depth and performance in any environment. Its advanced features, including a high-resolution iron discrimination system and adjustable threshold, make it the perfect companion for serious gold hunters.

Key Features of the Garrett AT Gold Metal Detector:

• All-Metal Mode: Provides the deepest detection and highest sensitivity for small gold nuggets.
• Graphic Target Analyzing: Displays conductivity and discrimination patterns simultaneously.
• All Terrain Design: Fully submersible up to 10 feet, ideal for humid, wet, and dusty conditions.
• Digital Target ID: 0-99 numeric scale helps distinguish target metals.
• High-Resolution Iron Discrimination: 40 points of iron resolution for superior target separation.
• Adjustable Threshold: Manually control background audio for better target detection.
• Pro Mode Audio: Proportional and Tone Roll Audio™ for detailed target information.
• Iron Audio™: Hear discriminated iron and problematic iron objects like bottle caps.
• All-Metal Iron Audio™: Identify iron objects even in true all-metal mode.
• Ground Balance (Manual): Adjust to minimize interference from ground minerals.
• Ground Balance Window™: "Spread" the ground balance setting to adapt to subtle mineral variations.
• Fast Track™ Ground Balance: Quickly auto-adjust for mineralized soil conditions.
• Electronic Pinpointing: Non-motion all-metal mode to accurately locate targets.
• One-Touch Treasure Hunting: Start detecting instantly with factory or custom settings.

The Garrett AT Gold introduces a digital target ID system, displaying precise values to help identify buried targets. The 18 kHz frequency enhances detection depth and relic identification, ensuring even the smallest gold nuggets can be found with ease. Whether you're searching for gold, jewelry, or coins, this detector is designed to maximize your finds.

Treasure Hunt and Prospect for Gold in All Terrains

The Garrett AT Gold features a waterproof control housing and sealed connections, making it ideal for detecting in wet, murky, and dusty environments. Whether searching along shorelines, in streams, or in shallow water, this detector is built to withstand the elements. However, for deep saltwater detection or locating treasure buried over 10 feet deep, alternative models like the Garrett GTI 2500 may be more suitable.

Understanding the Garrett AT Gold Standard and Pro Audio Modes

The Garrett AT Gold metal detector offers two distinct audio modes to enhance target detection. The standard binary audio mode provides a consistent full-strength response, regardless of target depth. Many detectorists prefer this mode for its simplicity.

For more detailed target information, the proportional (Pro) audio mode mimics the response of a true all-metal detector. This mode allows users to hear subtle variations in audio signals, helping to determine a target’s size, depth, and shape. Proportional audio also delivers a faster recovery response, making it ideal for detecting multiple targets in close proximity.

This illustration highlights the differences between binary and proportional audio. Binary audio produces a uniform tone for both surface and deep targets, whereas proportional audio provides varying tones that help assess target depth and characteristics.

With proportional audio, two closely positioned targets produce distinct sound variations, making it easier to differentiate them.

Understanding Garrett's Tone Roll Audio Feature

The Tone Roll Audio feature provides more detailed target classification, especially for iron targets. Traditional binary audio detectors produce a single sound based on the strongest signal. Tone Roll Audio, however, delivers a sequence of tonal variations as the coil approaches, passes over, and moves away from a target, giving users better target analysis.

For example, bottle caps and steel washers often mimic coins when using standard binary audio, producing a high-tone response. With Tone Roll Audio, these junk targets generate a distinctive low-high-low response, making them easier to identify and avoid.

Iron Audio: Enhancing Target Discrimination

Iron objects in the ground can mask good targets or create false signals. Garrett’s Iron Audio feature allows users to hear discriminated iron, helping to distinguish trash from valuable finds.

Additionally, Iron Audio lets users adjust the mid-tone range, refining the boundary between low-tone (trash) and mid-tone (potentially valuable) targets. This feature works in both standard and pro audio modes on the Garrett AT Gold metal detector.
