Metal Detecting: Beach Testing The New Garrett "AT MAX" Metal Detector | Aquachigger

The new Garrett AT MAX! EDIT: (10/17) In this video I am using a very early "test" model of the AT Max. Many changes have been made to the detectors software since then. Join me, KG and Ringy from the show Diggers as we journey to Europe as the guests of Garrett Metal Detectors to unveil the new Garrett "AT MAX" metal detector at a large rally in Italy. The new metal detector has the combined characteristics of both the AT Pro and AT Gold detectors with added tweaks. This is the day before the rally and we get to try out the new detectors before anyone else. We all had a great time although I was very tired from the trip over. Listen to the chief engineer from Garrett (Brent) as he explains how the machine works. We all find some coins and other treasures. MOAR to follow...

[@QuarterHoarder]

I was waiting to see the new machine. The backlight alone is worth the upgrade. Everything else would just be a bonus.

[@vr6muppet]

My dad has the teknetics omega 8500 and the only feature it has that really makes me jealous is the backlight. I have the AT pro I use most of the time, and a t2 classic as a backup/ loaner. Might be time to ditch the t2 and pick one of these up, depending on what the actual price ends up being. It's a bummer that the wireless headphones aren't waterproof. For $100 bucks more than their listed msrp on this I could buy two at pro's from my local dealer. : / Wish I could try one out before dropping that much on one. The frequency adjustment would be nice, my brother has an at pro too, and in small yards both machines are going crazy when we cross paths.

[@vr6muppet]

I'm curious about the grip too. That's one thing I have never been wild about on my at pro. On long hunts I notice my wrist cramping up faster with the at pro than with other machines I have used.

[@jennichols3987]

Quarter hoarder if you get the new machine can I have your old one

[@chrisnevils4231]

probably a blessing ya didnt, voodoo and hexes lol, would have put a spell on you lol, bad mojo lol...

[@-meganeura]

#vr6muppet You can switch frequency on the ATpro too, keep pressed pinpoint and change f1,f2,f3, etc.. with your sens keys + and -

[@wygold]

AT Max looks promising, idk if I'd buy one just yet. Still working on getting the Minelab Excalibur 2 for my beach hunts. Really cool to see KG & Ring Master having fun while Metal Detecting.

[@architecad]

Thank you very much for this video where shows how to set up the ATMAX properly.

[@deploribusunum3894]

OMG! Italy!! So cool! Have fun!!

[@Klesh]

If you make it to Pompeii, try swinging the detector around there somewhere!

[@maxsmith8196]

I imagine that it's been done already, a lot. And I don't think they allow it either

[@ItSeemsDark]

yeah , why not ... i wonder how the Chig would like in an orange pigiama :D

[@livewithnick]

ItSeemsDark what the hell is a pigiama?

[@wizpin]

Cool to see you guys on this side of the ocean.

[@MultiMike747]

I've detected with the Diggers in Colorado. A great pair of guys.

[@stefanburford745]

Great video and amazing experience!

[@janetdoten4489]

have fun love those 2 crazy guys Diggers!

[@ajwilson313]

Great videos! Thank you for sharing!

[@begalandersmith1325]

Keep up the great videos

[@MadisonMainedetecting]

Great fun hunt with your friends. Thanks for showing us the new machine. My question is more how it does in the Heavy Gravy of nails and iron, not how it ground balances at the beach. GL&HH

[@janetdoten4489]

With all the rain cold weather now later on this summer no doubt we'll see more water digs! All good love the historical stuff Aquachigger shares!

[@marklockwood2146]

Loved diggers ready for some new ones to see what they find next

[@undraftedplayer]

Many thanks for sharing.Sure i love my AT pro ( a great machine) but i struggle with in during my hollidays week on the salt water and black sand. Have fun in Europe, and if you stop in France, try to taste the french wines...smile. All the best.

[@ImPacosTacos]

I love these guys, they are just as wild off the screen as they are on the screen! Too cool!

[@mountaindigger7674]

I got to meet and get autographs from KG, Ringy, Nugget Noggin and Britain Lockhart a couple of months ago at Florida Hunt 7.

[@THEVEGASUM]

how cool is this!!!! 😃😀 never did I imagine ibwouod see them all together like this👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@ronaldroseborough9507]

You guys should take that show on the road. Oh, you already did. Great video. Great machine.

[@crikkitt4922]

If the a t stands for all terrain why can't the headphones be waterproof?same for the pro and gold.

[@cointector]

I like the new machine and the wireless headphones that makes life easier cheers thanks for sharing

[@treasurehuntingscotlandmud9340]

Great finds pleasure to watch

[@bill4572]

Beautiful machine

[@troyounce1]

Sounds like it's going to be a great machine to own!

[@johnmarvin6183]

How great is that? The Diggers and the Chigger in one video!!!

[@Karim-il5df]

Awesome Welcome to Europe

[@BudsName1]

BET you guys had a blast over there.

[@OutdoorsygalO]

So nice that you guys are trying out the new machine. Interesting to watch as you use the "International" set up. I bet you guys would find that a little different huh? Cool having a backlight! Hmmm.....Dear Santa.......

[@WhatTheHeckTV]

cool tagging up with the diggers chigg

[@shellydweller493]

Thanks for this review even if it is a few years old. I saved my pennies and purchased a AT Max, love it!

[@TheHearseAroundJimThorpe]

I knew they were from the show diggers I watched that till our box broke with all our shows to record nice to see king George and the ring master again

[@jimgriffiths9071]

Nice to see more footage of Italy. Why am I not surprised you forgot your shovel and beach scoop??

[@KelTor79]

Which is better to find gold between AT MAX and AT GOLD? Why?.

Chigg I totaly forgot about this, wanted to drive down and meet you, as I live in Northern Italy. But I just got back from New Zealand so I am still pretty destroyed. Would invite you up here but I assume you guys have tight schedule at the rally?

[@nickyfoxnel]

Bloody Good Video!

[@sondelsucht]

It whas in the rain the Day before and find over 10 euros there :-) Whas nice to meet you ppls . Greetings from Stefan /Nuggets team

[@heidierdmann2315]

Wondering if you can make an updated video on tips and tricks on different terrain with the max? What settings you may recommend for say the woods vs the beach? New to detecting and going from my yard to the beach I had a rough time o.o

[@TreasureHuntingSWPA412]

I watched the Garrett video for the US machine. Looks pretty darn good. Maybe in 5-10 years I'll get to try one. lol.

[@adamlmedia]

Did they fix the housing mount issue...

[@GALAmetalD]

aqua...numero 1! è stato bello trovarti a Cesenatico

[@rjahn3000]

Nice big display great!!

[@InskeepJohnson]

PORCHA!!Lmao . Too funny ! Kool to see you guys having fun!

[@PICKERY]

I like the low-key style of chigger. Honest and doesn't care to speak the truth.

[@ryanthedigger1]

I can't wait to buy one

[@farmtrout66]

Ok Chigg very important question. Should I wait and buy the AT Max or snap up an AT Pro as prices drop? Hunting in Missouri, some rivers mostly land .

[@-meganeura]

In that price range of the ATpro, and if you will hunt mostly on land and shallow waters I would choose the makro racer 2, unbelievable deep searching, more advanced technology! check it out! I have an ATpro and like it because they are made for abuse and work well, but in my opinion it´s not very comfortable to use, bit heavy and unbalanced, Makro Racer 2 is more powerfull than ATpro even in discrimination of types of targets. best thing you could do is test it and compare booth in a shop!

[@idig4udetecting73]

Meganeura* nice video however the manual & just about everyone says don’t hunt with iron audio on constantly that last can you dug 78 on vdi I could see you left iron audio on & you didn’t demonstrate it in saltwater & didn’t explain you have to ground balance going from dry sand to the wet

[@1Epicdoom]

Head to Palermo, Still Have family there, Will get a good meal. Great video Brother looking forward to seeing how well this new Machine works out.

[@AlsAllMetalDetecting]

Hot damn! I'm going to Alaska this Summer! Next time you find yourself in SC Beau, Let me know. I hunt with Alan Charles all the time. Missed your last trip here. Be well, Al-Fu

[@horseman528]

I believe those guys spent more time drinking than they did detecting.

[@Wwally]

I want one, looks very promising.

[@bo49685]

3 of my 4 favorite people on KZbin, now if we can just add nuggetnoggin😊 The new machine looks good, I'm a little disappointed that they didn't make more exciting with more features and design, I'm sure they would sell more. I don't think people who currently have the AT Gold and AT Pro are going to run right out and buy this machine.......and that is where Garrett's mistake lies. Hey Chigger, I hope you make a video when you get back to the states with the new AT Max, I would like to see what you can do with it here. Have fun in Italy!😊

[@oldmuffdiver]

Hi Mark i did and its great , still got my ATPro and Gold

[@Das_Vert]

Hahaha! Wow KG and Ringy... These guys got me interested in this stuff years ago but then you took over my interest because they're too goofy.

[@Das_Vert]

I GOT A NICK IN THE POCK! Lmao.

[@pawpatrolnews]

I couldn't stop laughing when on one episode KG said "Check out this huge rusty thing I pulled out of my hole!"

[@Das_Vert]

Michael Inocente lol they're ridiculous.

[@devonhenigan2367]

Vert me to

[@NoahSeidenberg]

I ordered one +Aquachigger, thanks to you and all your great vids. I really enjoy them. I live right across the street from a Lake Michigan beach and are excited to lean coin hunting. After I get educated I want to travel to the south and find some Civil War relics. Some people are knocking the AT Max. If all this is true then why would they be so deeply back ordered and there is a waiting list of weeks to get one?????

[@craigbosko2229]

6-9-22, Wenatchee, WA, I just ordered my 1st metal detector,a GARRETT AT MAX.AS far as I'm concerned Garrett is the Cadillac of metal detectors and been around since 1972(I was 15 at the time and just moved to Dallas,Texas). Bought a magazine on coin collecting,had REALLY good article's in it but one stood out,read it 100 time's, I was on cloud 9 but the 1st detector I saw in that magazine was a GARRETT and about a year later white showed up in the same mag.Detectors have come a long way since 1972 especially being waterproof in SALTWATER AND FRESHWATER,WOW, THAT'S A BIG DIFFERENCE ESPECIALLY SALTWATER.THE ONLY ALLOY METAL'S THAT I KNOW OF THAT CAN WITH STAND SALTWATER (DEEP DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN) AND NOT GET OXIDATION IS:GOLD,BRONZE AND TITANIUM.But the bottom line is,since I first got involved in metal detectors back in 1972 and still remember alot of the knowledge from back then I'll be using it to this day.Now in the paragraph you had mentioned why people are wanting the GARETT AT MAX, and that there's a back order on them (which should tell you something right there) I got involved in metal detectors back in 1972 and here it is 2022, it's been 52 years and GARETT is STILL AROUND,WHITE went out of business (because of covid-19,CHINA SHOULD PAY WHITE THEIR 💰💰💰💰💰 BACK !!!! WHERE DO YOU THINK COVID-19 CAME FROM.Sure there are other companies out there but if GARETT didn't make a excellent product then why are they still around?

[@johngriffiths3952]

I have never used the iron mode to check the iron content. While it could save me digging bottle caps at the beach, the sand is so soft it just takes about the same time to go ahead and dig the strong signal.

[@RedEyesBDC]

Oh yeah, those guys from the NatGeo show. Those guys get crazy pumped when they detect!

[@juliecoombes960]

Hi Guys, Could you possibly do a video showing or comparing the two machines 'AT Pro vs AT Max' that would be awsome, love you guys, shame 'Nuggett' (Michael) wasnt there, keep up the great work!! 😊

[@dennisthemenance5433]

Hey, where'd you get that? Not supposed to be out till JUNE

[@eyoung7417]

I love watching people do these metal detecting I want to do some myself but I am only in my teens so... but I wish!!'

[@hoopenshinermom4758]

Did the Garrett guy drop a hint that the Chigg might hit Alaska this summer? That would be very cool to see! Be cool to see that thing state side finding some civil war relics.

[@adenanthony5257]

Love your videos chigg

[@gaborhegedus3446]

Good machine!

[@wheelerbeauty84]

I love The Diggers!!!

[@stuartstuart984]

For your first metal detector is the AT Max worth the wait over the AT Pro

[@leonardoli1512]

omg...you are so close to my home, welcome to italy tho

[@carolyngaulin7822]

I saw them on their tv show are they wacky as they are on real life ! Love the diggers !

[@Julian-go1yd]

Hey Aquachigger, I want to start metal detecting too but i don't know which metal detector is the best for beginners and i don't know which equip i should also buy can you maybe help me? I would be glad

[@tymesho]

c'mon Chig, "lighten up, Francis". your on a trip to Italy!!

[@DeathValleyDebbie]

You discovered the elusive beach doggo!

it was a fun video but I was specting a better review about the performance on wet sand and salt water, with this review You make me think that the at Max doesn´t handle the beach mineralization too well. I´ll wait for more reviews in salt water/wet sand and then I´ll decide! Cheers GL & HH

[@jamiehackney4420]

Aguachigger, which detector is best in your honest opinion. Garrett AT Gold, Whites MX Sport or this new MAX you are talking about here in this video. I want a good all around detector that can detect small gold but work well in every other environment and be waterproof. I was sold on the AT Gold then I hear it doesn't work in salt water and I seen this one. However the Whites video makes that detector look really well especially picking up targets in iron. Good lord which one is best for under 900 dollars?

[@WhitesElectronics1950]

We tried to send AquaChigger an MX Sport but never heard back from him... Maybe he was too busy diving for treasure!

[@jamiehackney4420]

Send me one and I will be happy to post review videos anytime you like.

[@WhitesElectronics1950]

Do you have any YT videos we can watch?

[@jamiehackney4420]

White's Electronics, Inc. Not any at all so far however my wife and I are getting ready to start. We are heavily into detecting, prospecting and RV camping and have several reviews we are planning on doing with our experience in all areas. I buy a lot of things that definitely wish I did reviews on before I bought to share with others. We learn as we go and enjoy being outdoors. Thanks for your replies. In the area where I live (North Georgia) I want a detector that will pick up small gold in the rivers and bedrock but as I said we travel a lot and I want to take my hobbies of metal detecting in all environments. We have a lot of Civil War history at our doorsteps as well so I was just wanting one detector to do it all and be water proof. Garrett has a lot of people on You Tube that obviously gets paid well by them, so finding an unbiased answer is hard. That's why the wife and I have decided to start doing blogs on Social Media and You Tube. Thanks again and have a great day.

[@davidsoler5336]

I used to watch the diggers on tv

[@nathanielvg]

Where can i get one of these???

[@ronralphsson7296]

I'm sorry that I that I was to critical.It just hit me wrong with the other two guys.I'm used to you producing wonderful videos,with people that well and add to the content.I look forward to your channel above any others, as a matter of fact you are the first notification I check daily.

[@RelicRecoverist]

Thanks for sharing, Beau! Looks like a blast!! Now I'm even more excited to get my hands on it. Eek. Have fun with Steve and those two crazies. :]

[@cadeschumacher4598]

How did you get the metal detectors on the plane?

[@_Looft]

Cade Schumacher story took them through the metal detector XD

[@Elmacho007]

What camara do you use

[@CodingToFreedom]

Olympus TG-3 if he uses the same as usually.

[@solosearcher]

I knew you would be the 1st to post this lol

[@da_bomb5796]

they were the ones who made me start detecting

[@jimkey920]

I was at the Martinsburg Roundhouse event. Commemoration for "Stonewall Jackson's raid on the B&O. Small (rained out) stil interesting with presenters from all over. One was a Reporter from the New York Tribune. The came down from Massachusetts (atempted to spell it) I hope you find something good in Italy, like Ceasar's wristwatch or somehing.

[@davidhopper1087]

You looked like a fish out of water lol. The Diggers are mental in a nice sort of way. You are a country bumkin and not used to all that hype .Looks a great machine with loads of useful feature . But does it get better depth as we are land lovers and always looking for that extra bit depth . Wireless headphones look great . interesting video

[@tillmansomethinrother296]

good hunting

[@Flawlless]

Greetings from Bavaria/Germany! ✌

[@PaganWizard]

I wear hearing aids that are bluetooth connected to my phone. Can I connect my hearing aids to this detector??

[@Katseye102]

You have some silly companions Chigg! Looks like you had fun though!

[@the.tricky.outdoorsman]

I think I might have to test one of these myself. I have the White's MX Sport. it's White's version of this. I want to see which one is better. :)

[@jaket1953]

Are you in Germany right now did you shoot this prior to you being Arizona?

[@TheTankedfrank666]

Idk what's better. That you have the at max or that your with ringy and kg!

[@xdporkchopdylan1333]

what happened to their show?

[@WeirdBobsparanormal]

it's funny not seeing kg running and screaming after that find...

From snorkeling in an arizona desert to beach hunting in Italy. Where is he going to show up next?

[@Mike-kr5om]

Are u gonna go to milan??

[@womandetecting]

Por favor..podrian subtitular el vídeo en Español..estoy muy interesada en este Detector... Gracias

[@Piratecapt8383]

Really weird...watching the Diggers on Nat Geo and I thought it would be cool if you could do something with them and bam here they are. LOL

[@noahharding7270]

which part of Italy I live in the marche

[@oregoncollector3727]

The object toward the end is a Sputnik surf fishing sinker.

[@Mithranos]

11:13 chig says the gold and pro had no volumn control on the headphones. My pro came stock with phones that had volumn control for both ears so i dont know where he got that info. Cool vid though.

[@dagodigger487]

Fantastic

[@Orkel2]

Metal detecting is legal in Italy?

[@craigbosko2229]

Don't forget to offer thanks to AA and the Big Book!

[@DesertDetective]

Tough Life Guys LOL... AND to all of the naysayers: It seems many were hoping Garrett was going to reinvent the wheel (the metal detector) and instead they took the best features from 2 very successful machines, combined them, along with adding a couple of modern and popular features missing from it's predecessors; a backlight and wireless headphones. Also, made a machine more versatile with enhanced ground balance resolution and optimized the frequency a bit, updated their processors to increase the depth "significantly". All of this for a couple hundred more but still several hundreds less than some of the machines it can compete with if not out perform in the real world. I'd say to Garrett... THANK YOU AND BRILLIANTLY DONE!!! In fact I will... THANK YOU GARRETT! And thanks to Ringy, KG, Aquachigger and Garrett Crew... IGNORE THE HATERS!!!
