Want a simple, yet still high-performing detector? Check out the Garrett GTax 550!

The Garret GTAx 550 makes a great option when you are looking for a detector that is intuitive and easy to use, without sacrificing detecting power.  At the heart of the GTAx 550 is Garrett’s renowned Graphic Target Analyzer. Utilizing top of the line microprocessor technology, the GTAx 550 is able to accurately and easily analyze the target’s most likely identity, giving you a graphic display of all the information you need to make your hunt as easy as possible. 

What features can I expect from the GTAx 550?

This detector comes with plenty of features that make it a great choice for both veterans and beginners. One of its most powerful and helpful features is the devices’ COINS mode, which makes successful coin shooting almost automatic. The device’s powerful discrimination options make it effective at finding and identifying deeply buried targets. The machine is easy to adjust and customize with simple touchpad controlled sensitivity, threshold and discrimination patterns.

Furthermore, the GTAx 550 also gives you precise electronic pinpointing, and gives accurate depth readings for your targets. You can even boot up the device’s “Last Search” mode when repeatedly hunting in the same, or similar, environments. The machine offers two separate modes, a Motion A mode (which operates with zero discrimination) and a Motion B mode (which gives coin discrimination and a visual target ID) which just adds to the flexibility of this machine.
