Garrett AT Max

Garrett has made some nice improvements to the AT series, but I am not sure that they have made much of an improvement in depth. I would like to see some airtests and in ground depth test comparisons of AT Pro Vs AT Max
 
[size=large]AT Gold: 18 kHz AT Pro: 15 kHz AT Max: 13.6 kHz[/size]

The AT MAX has a lower operating frequency then the the AT Gold and AT Pro. As a general rule, higher frequencies will be more sensitive to smaller targets like small gold nuggets, hence you have the higher frequency on the AT Gold. The downside is, you lose a little depth. So.......you gain something and lose something. The AT MAX has the lowest operating frequency of the group, so.......those tiny nuggets you are searching for may not be as sensitive as the AT Gold, however, what you gain is more depth on coin sized objects. Again, you gain something and lose something. And, there have been some hints on some videos about enhanced tweaks to the electronic brains of the machine.

And.......depth is always relative to soil conditions, coil type/size, swing speed and how the machine is set up by the user. Also, some users will dig those quiet whisper of a target, others won't. Given that the AT Max also has an adjustable threshold, those who utilize this feature will get additional depth too.

Looking at the overall picture of the AT Max, it appears it was designed to get the most depth for coins, relics etc. If you want extra depth or extra sensitivity, you have an additional variety of coils available to help you excel in those areas.
