FAQ

What is the Multi-Flex technology in the ACE Apex Metal Detector?

The Multi-Flex technology in the ACE Apex Metal Detector is a cutting-edge, broad-bandwidth digital platform that provides unmatched versatility. It allows you to choose from powerful single frequencies to enhance detection on specific targets, or select one of Apex's simultaneous multifrequency modes to achieve excellent detection on all targets in all soils.

What is the purpose of the IRON VOLUME control in the ACE Apex Metal Detector?

The IRON VOLUME control in the ACE Apex Metal Detector allows you to decrease the volume of iron targets while maintaining the normal level for non-ferrous targets. This feature is particularly useful for experienced treasure hunters who want to decrease the volume of undesired items.

What is the battery life of the ACE Apex Metal Detector?

The ACE Apex Metal Detector has a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery that provides up to approximately 15 hours of use, depending on the settings you use.

What is special about the 6" x 11" DD Multi-Flex Viper Search Coil included with the ACE Apex Metal Detector?

The 6" x 11" DD Multi-Flex Viper Search Coil included with the ACE Apex Metal Detector is designed as a low-impedance, broad-bandwidth coil to support the new Apex Multi-Flex frequency technology. It is fully waterproof and its size is large enough to cover plowed fields, but its narrow 6" footprint allows easy separation of targets in iron-infested areas.

How much does the ACE Apex Metal Detector weigh?

The ACE Apex Metal Detector is lightweight and well-balanced, weighing only 2.5 pounds. This makes it comfortable for extended use during your treasure hunting adventures.

I like the screen size, back light.

I have been using the Apex since it was released. I also use the Ace 400, the AT Pro and recently the Vortex. The Apex is still my go-to machine. For me its the perfect detector. It has the right amount of useful features, light weight and with the 5 x 8 coil it's a perfect combination!

Garrett Apex Metal Detector and Garrett Service.

Hello, my name is Mike and I love Garrett Apex - Multi- Frequency Metal Detectors. I have two of them. I had a little bit of trouble when I downloaded update. However. I admit, I'm a hands-on type of person and have to see it to learn it, I have 15 Metal I halve of them are Garretts. .Anyone who does not like their products and service are mistaken. I have sent 4 or 5 of my Garretts to Texas and Millie and the bunch are just "Awesome" folks, I known they will do it right and are very kind and helpful. I would always recommend their products and service. If you have one of their product and are having problems, call them, and they will help you.

I love this Ace Apex! So easy to use and understand. I find all kinds of interesting things-coins, jewelry, silver coins and jewelry, gold plated rings, copper, brass, etc. This detector proves that you don't have to spend $600 on up to get a great machine.

Rechargeable

I ordered this detector for my son as his first detector. I ordered this machine for it's multi frequency ability and ease of use. He loves it and it's ease of use. The best part is it's rechargeable, the downfall is it's not waterproof.

I got the Ace Apex for the MF Salt setting. I love to hunt at the beaches and this unit definitely stands out! It cuts out the "chatter" that my other Ace units make on the Beaches! Now when the Apex sounds off, I KNOW it's worth digging! Found my First gold coin with it! I love the Z Link !! No More cords !! Thanks Garrett!!

I purchased the Apex as my first detector because of the multi-frequency ability. I've been having a blast for the last couple years with all my finds. I don't understand why the Apex hasn't been pushed by Garrett more than they have!! It's great!
