New Garrett ??

[vito]

Hi everyone.
A few days ago, I stumbled across this image online.
To me, it looks like a Garrett concept design for a new type of detector.
The resemblance to White's detectors is obvious to me (specifically the coil and shaft).
Combine that with the improved features of the Spectra series, and I think it would be a winner.
But I don't know any details for sure...

I really like the design and hope this is a possibility in the near future . I started detecting in 1972 and Whites, Garrett , Fisher and Tesoro were the main stay but as technology improved not everyone kept pace. Some closed shop and others are still here but seem to have to play catch up with other more popular brands . I was happy with tone hunting with my Garrett AT4 but fell into the trap with the latest and greatest and believe Garrett could be a major player in the highly competitive sport detector market . The old story is still true that it has to be under the coil to find it , at times it isn't a new detector but a new location . The possibility of a new Garrett is exciting with real world usable features , maybe this is the one to set the bar .

I wish Garrett would pickup Tesoros.

With White's MXT ground tracking and confidence blocks.
And Tesoros iron reject.
With the ability to see thru a bed nails better than most every machine I've run.

Even better than my Sovereign GT.
Clearer and faster by miles.

That combination with the new tech they've developed would be a Killer.

Its probably and AI fake. Getting tough to tell the difference between real & Memorex...Im dating myself !!!

Somehow, we are never satisfied with what we have. Constating wanting bigger and more. The only thing that would impress me is a machine that could
tell the difference between gold and other metals. Otherwise, everything nowadays is a crap shoot.

Just recently someone asked me to find a gold stud earring in their lawn. I waved the matching stud to get an idea the number range, '3' on the 1-100 Nox 900.
It was lost last year and owner knew the area it could be located. I thought it would be a slim to none chance but I gave it a shot. It was a manicured lawn and with this heat, I didnt want to start digging holes all over the place. I dug a few pieces of foil and that was it. I told them honestly, in detecting the beach for 25 years, Ive never found a gold stud earring. Have a ton of silver stud but no gold studs. I have found gold earrings but much bigger. Even the silver studs come in low.

Finding a gold stud in wet sand or even dry sand would be a game changer. However, with the price of gold nowadays, the odd of find gold is so rare, its pathetic. You need a big cut in a very old beach to bring up the gold.

Cant wait to read the reviews on the new Icon X. interested reading but I think its just and in-between price point machine. We all have top of the line machines, why step down ???

Looks like an AI fake to me. But it would be nice to see Garrett bring out a new High end that would compare to the likes of a D2 or Manticore, or Legend2 . The current lineup doesn’t get it.
