THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING
GARRETT METAL DETECTORS!
Your new Garrett ATX™ is a highly advanced pulse induction detector that is
backed by 50 years of extensive research and development. It was specically
designed to overcome the most challenging prospecting and relic hunting envi-
ronments, including extremely mineralized soils and saltwater environments.
Although the ATX was designed for the extreme needs of gold prospectors, it
is a highly capable instrument for many other types of searching. Its ability to
overcome mineralized soils, salts and mineralized stones, bricks, terra cotta,
etc., creates numerous opportunities for industrial use, historical archaeology,
game wardens (detection of poachers’ bullets), etc.
Relic hunters who encounter areas of highly mineralized ground will benet
from detection depths not available from conventional detectors. The optional
20” Deepseeker searchcoil is ideal for use in searching for caches and other
deeply buried large objects.
In order to take full advantage of the special features and functions of the ATX,
you are urged to carefully read this instruction manual in its entirety.
