Garrett Metal Detectors
Apex Overview
This (Basic Package) ACE Apex from Garrett has a 6" X 11" DD Viper search coil and does not include the MS-3 Z-Lynk Wireless Headphones. The ACE Apex is a great multi-frequency metal detector for beginner detectorists because it is simple to use and comes with many ready-to-go settings. The multi-frequency functionality allows the user to select 1 of four different frequencies or two all frequency modes, one perfect for land hunting and one setting specific for hunting in saltwater beaches. With the waterproof coil and a rainproof control box, you can take this out in all weather and treasure hunt along the surf. Two separate coin modes allow you to narrow your search. The U.S. coin setting even displays whether you may be about to unearth a quarter or a penny with coin icons beneath the notch pattern upper scale. The Apex will certainly help up your detecting game.
COMPLETE FLEXIBILITY
Garrett’s Multi-Flex technology, fueled by a cutting edge, broad-bandwidth digital platform, simply gives you more versatility with the Apex than can be found on any detector in its price range!

See - frequently asked question
I just unboxed my detector and have it assembled, and it doesn't turn on. Is it normal for the battery to be dead upon arrival? It is charging, but I'm concerned...
The Apex uses a lithium rechargeable battery and they have a minimal amount of charge time during production testing. It is recommended to fully charge the battery for 4 to 5 hours prior to use.
I see the coil is waterproof, but what about the control box?
Hello, the control box is moisture resistant not waterproof. You should be able to safely use it on rainy days with the included rain cover on it. Thank you for your question.
Do you recommend carrying a power bank just incase the battery dies while I'm out metal detecting?
It depends - for example: if you were camping for the weekend without a power source, then yes.
However, if you were just planning a long day out hunting, then no. The battery will provide power for approximately 15 hours of operation from a full charge. The time will vary with different frequencies and backlight setting somewhat. Thank you for your question.
Does this model have a vibration feature?
No it does not. Thank you.
