Garrett Metal Detectors ACE Apex Metal Detector — Multi-Frequency, Waterproof Viper Coil, Z-Lynk Wireless, Rechargeable

The Garrett ACE Apex is a professional-grade metal detector for adults that combines multi-frequency searching, waterproof coil performance, and Z-Lynk wireless connectivity for fast, accurate target finding.

Built for serious hobbyists and part-time pros, the ACE Apex merges Garrett’s proven search technologies into a lightweight, rechargeable package. It offers selectable single frequencies, multi-frequency and a dedicated Multi-Salt mode to adapt quickly between parks, fields, and saltwater beaches. With an ergonomic shaft, a 6" x 11" DD Viper searchcoil, and fast Z-Lynk wireless output, it’s designed to reduce missed targets and increase time in the find zone.

How does the ACE Apex improve target detection in different soils and beaches?

The detector’s Multi-Flex technology lets you pick from five single frequencies or run multi-frequency for balanced sensitivity across target sizes. Multi-Salt mode neutralizes mineralization and salt interference so you can hunt near surf and salt-saturated ground with fewer false signals.

• Five single frequencies: 5, 10, 15, 20 kHz for tailored sensitivity
• Multi-Frequency mode combines frequencies for broad target response
• Multi-Salt mode reduces salt and mineral noise on beaches
• IRON VOLUME control keeps desirable signals audible while muting iron

What makes the ACE Apex easier and faster to use on long hunts?

The ACE Apex is lightweight at about 2.5 lbs and runs on a built-in lithium-ion pack that supports up to 15 hours between charges, so you can stay out longer without battery swaps. Z-Lynk wireless technology delivers a low-latency connection to headphones or compatible accessories, offering real-time audio without cables to tangle.

• Compact 2.5 lb overall weight for comfortable all-day detecting
• Rechargeable lithium-ion battery with up to 15 hours runtime
• Z-Lynk wireless provides faster-than-Bluetooth audio performance
• Clear ergonomics and balance reduce arm fatigue during long sessions

How does the ACE Apex handle trashy areas and target separation?

The 6" x 11" Viper DD searchcoil is wide enough for efficient ground coverage while offering excellent target separation in cluttered sites. Pinpointing and iron-tone control help you distinguish valuable targets from nails, pull-tabs, and other common trash items.

• Viper DD coil enhances target separation in trashy environments
• Pinpoint mode for precise target location and shallower recovery holes
• IRON VOLUME allows independent control of iron signals
• Adjustable sensitivity settings to minimize chatter in noisy sites

What accessories and durability features should I expect with the ACE Apex?

The ACE Apex comes wireless-ready for low-latency Z-Lynk headsets and uses a waterproof searchcoil suitable for wading and shoreline detecting. Its construction balances ruggedness and portability—designed to take outdoor use while remaining easy to transport and set up.

• Waterproof VIPER searchcoil for surf, shallow water, and wet grass
• Z-Lynk-compatible for reliable wireless audio accessories
• Adjustable shaft and armrest for quick customization
• Rechargeable battery reduces need for disposable cells

Who this is for: The Garrett ACE Apex fits experienced hobbyists and part-time professionals who want a modern, flexible detector capable of handling parks, fields, and saltwater beaches. If you value fast wireless audio, multi-frequency versatility, and a lightweight, rechargeable system for long hunts, the ACE Apex gives a practical mix of features without the complexity of larger pro rigs.
