My visit to the Garrett Metal Detectors Factory! | Nugget Noggin

[@frankiecowsert9364]

thank you for taking us along on your visit....awesome place

[@brianeisenhauer]

Good to see good ol' American assembly work being done.

[@jerrydineen2827]

So that is where my AT Pro was born. Thanks Nugget!

[@relichunter7169]

You should of aborted it

[@runner1701]

Amazing to see those pioneer detectors that Charles built from scratch. A true American success story, starting in a garage and look what it is like now. Thanks for sharing what most of us will never get too see.

[@anewcreation8458]

I'm glad you took video of your tour! My 7 year old granddaughter is hooked on "Nuggetnoggin". I can trust that when she watches your videos there will be no surprise "trash talk" in her innocent ears! Keep the Lord in first place and you will be blessed. Thank you for your enthusiasm in sharing His Word. God bless ya!

[@Trees2Pens]

Great tour. Made in USA factory is so important. Good for you, I am so happy Garrett has embraced you. God Bless You.

[@nickhaas2407]

Glad to see all those people working so hard to make my leisure time so fun! Thanks Michael!

[@freemarketjoe9869]

I bought my first Garrett detector, a grand master hunter cx2 back in the late 80's and it was everything i hoped for. I really respect mr Garrett and all he has accomplished. I remember back around 2000 or so if you went on Garrett's site they had a really cool thumbnail index of all the detector models they ever built and specific reasons why each was a step forward. Wish they still had that. Somewhere in the headquarters there is a room that has them all displayed. I wish they would have that available under history on their home page again like they used to. Nice to know the family is carrying it all on.

[@yerdigginitmetaldetecting]

Nice to see manufacturing in the USA. Go Garrett!

[@matthewwatson8854]

thank you for sharing love the Garrett metal detectors Museum

[@RustyHaloMetalDetecting]

That was awesome! Love my Garrett family! Thank you Mr Michael for this wonderful look at the museum and factory. Seeing those 2 original metal detectors tho, that made my day! Absolutely amazing! God bless you, and my Garrett family too!

[@srh7769]

What a privilege to see inside the Garrett factory and see some of Mr Garrett's original inventions. It is good to see the company still provides employment for many people in today's world of down sizing. I still own and enjoy using my Garrett A2B even if she is still 'long in the tooth'. I think she is still one of the most robust detectors I have ever owned, thanks for sharing your visit to the Garrett.

[@shuriryu777]

Excellent tour, Michael! It would be like walking through a candy factory. I want that one, and that one, and that one . . .

[@dubcoco1]

That was awesome Nugget! Thanks for taking us along with you. Very interesting watching them build every component to our favorite metal detectors. No matter how long you have been detecting, most everyone has owned at least one Garrett detector product, WORLDWIDE!

[@johnbeck5227]

hey bro, been folowin ya for a while.... good vids! used to hunt with an old Radio Shack special lol. just ordered the Ace 400......kinda excited!!!!!

[@stanleystalvey6185]

Excellent video, young master Nugget. I've set my mind to watch all of your videos.

[@nuggetnoggin]

+Stanley Stalvey Thank you!

[@VoklstWestie]

Excellence in American manufacturing! Thank You Mike (NN) for showing us all. Unique, historical, interesting, and insightful.

[@Sirlie08]

Man I need to go metal detecting. I'm from Germany. I bet there is so many cool stuff in my area, because Hamm (towns name) had the biggest railroad yard in Europe (at the time) and was repeatedly bombed in WW2.

[@freemarketjoe9869]

You are really lucky. Your history goes back thousands of years. Anything could be down there!

[@SmallWonda]

Wow that's amazing - an all made by hand - what a wonderful company - thanks so much for that tour - he's right to be proud of his Dad. If anyone's in Garland, Texas, can they stop by to check out the museum? So cool to think those relics were found with a metal detector! Thanks for taking us along :)

[@ozbad07]

Nice to see the workings of a detector factory - Thanks!

[@hkhjg1734]

Its so great to see American Industry.

[@freemarketjoe9869]

It shows it can be done if you really believe. Also highlights why no one rarely does it anymore. If you are not already established it is hard to compete with Chinese slave labor.

[@CallMeMicahT]

Nugget, you have a very bright future ahead of you. Always stay true to yourself.

[@Afterburner]

That is SO cool.... I remember my uncle who had Garrett detectors in the 1970s and being interested in the hobby back then as a kid. I now have Garrets, Minelabs and Whites detectors in my arsenal and enjoy hunting with them all... Nice to see Garrett is making these detectors in the USA... And that was such a nice tour - great people!

[@grandma6303]

💩 is a very long road trip to get the best of all time favorite movie song and it was the best first time I get a follow back rtf to get the hang best thing to say I don't have a r I don't think that it would be nice if it wasn't a big deal about the same thing over and over again right to get my nails are you doing it for the first time in a year and I have eww I hate don't union in a while to get load and the best thing of beauty in my room and the same as every day for me to the best of the year and the other hand is the only one that is not an e the same as I am really looking forward to the

[@bigjohn3512]

It's nice to see that some companies still manufacture here in the U.S. Just one more reason I'm proud to swing a Garrett.

[@andybrown223]

lovely video,hard working people making our hobby a lot easier. such a treasure trove ,unbelievable amounts of treasure found by the great man!beautifully displayed,would be a dream to visit the Garrett factory. thank God for the legend Mr Charles Garrett, RIP

[@emanuelhollander7585]

Yes I had the pleasure to go and visit the factory last year and meat Rusty and he took us around the factory too. it is impressive the way they work and how it all comes together. Also it was nice to meet you in Longview, TX.

[@brianprice1543]

Love your videos Nugget so glad that Garrett is taking care of you! You've done so much promoting Garret products I now own both the pro and the gold very happy with both and customer service rocks! I was gearing up for a chilly hunt had my pro leaning against the jeep it fell over and the housing broke off glad I had both so I grabbed my gold and hunted anyways boxed it all up sent it off to Texas they fixed her all up for only 35 bucks! Was very happy with that. Just wish they could sell boxes of time I get it back and my dispatcher asks me to work. Oh well easy run down to Chicago and back I got the pro all ready to go after work👍

[@DetectorLuke]

that's a cool place gerrett's first detector is awesome

[@donHooligan]

that's just awesome...a wooden coil. the first Harley Davidson (prototype) carburetor was made out of a Campbell's soup can.

[@trgagg2002]

That was a awesome tour . I could listen to Vaughan Garrett tell stories all day .Great job Nuggetnoggin !

[@LagBlowz]

Man, two years ago, I wouldn’t be as excited as I am now about the ACE 200, I got one for Christmas last year, and it is awesome.

[@ronnie8133]

Very cool place you took us today Nugget. Amazing finds in that Garrett Factory. I just love history.

[@mpwall123]

Thanks to the both of you.Very interesting history, and manufacturing facility.

[@PilgrimLad]

Nuggetnoggin, your witness in your videos provokes me....to love and good works.

[@rogerdempsey7227]

That's awesome I can't believe I leave 20 minutes away from that place in Texas awesome now I'm going to go there stay blessed

[@DigsOutdoors]

Love the video Nugget. Very interesting to see where they came from and how they are made. Also liked the relic room too. Ya knocked it out the park again bud ;)

[@kalebcox2713]

I watch your videos every day after school and I have a garretace 250 you and have inspired me to go detecting each day your biggest fan kaleb

[@godchaserwi1]

Great video. God Bless the Garrett Company! So nice to see a behind the scenes look of the operation as well as the awesome museum. I would love to visit the Garrett factory someday! Thanks for sharing

[@DuranSexton]

You just blew by the man in charge like he wasn't even talking. Nice

[@OurPastAu]

Awesome! It would be great to visit the Garrett factory!

[@Enigmaprince]

Thanks for sharing Nugget. It was awesome to see all these cool historical stuff:-) I really enjoy ur videos keep up the good work! god bless yu :)

[@Chuck-he1jd]

Wow, Much more respect for that company now. Very good video, Their AT pro has always worked great in my book. I had a water problem after 1 year and the company gave me a new one after sending it back. Very good customer service. Can't ask for more.

[@cachemole]

Great tour of the factory Nugget! Really cool to see how they make all the detectors and their treasure room. It must have been an exciting time back then when Charles Garrett invented his first detector. Cool to see his first ones.

[@thebigguymarv]

Very good video. I enjoyed watching as detectors were put together and I also enjoyed the reminiscing of items found and how things started

[@edwardmartin1742]

Great video, Nugget. It is good to see a company make a product entirely in the USA. Garrett should serve as an example to other companies who make their products oversees and who are a contributing factor to USA unemployment.

[@dennismackey8169]

Nugget....so nice that you weave a good scripture in thru your videos now....psalms 83:18 is one of my favorites....

[@GasserGlass]

Great Video, Nugget....thanks for the little tour of Garrett.

[@Coinazoid]

Awesome vid Nugget! Very interesting seeing the factory at work.

[@clutchrider39]

Another place to visit on my road drip detecting. Thank you for sharing.

[@DigginTexas]

Great video, seems as I visit Garrett at least 1 time a week, for the last month. I just can't get enough of the hobby.

[@TheWayha]

That was very cool. Neat to see not only the history of Garrett's metal detectors but to see the manufacturing plant. So many people at work. A shame Mr. Garrett didn't have cameraman along when he made discoveries that wowed him. Anyhew, thanks for sharing, God bless and I've certainly been enjoying your films and messages. Cya on the next one.

[@robertg786]

Farret makes some very very well made dectectors and fairly priced. Great customer service as well. Whites detectors is a runner up.

[@bige.3474]

Hand built, and hand tested by real living employees. I expected an automated assembly line with few employees. It's nice to see a company that still supports their area with jobs. congratulations to Garrett.

[@northtexaspatriot7774]

Used to Live in Garland, TX now in Richardson still very close! Went through it once! Very Impressive!

[@ripsrelics5404]

Awesome tour you just gave my friend....hoping to visit there myself one day....thanks for doing the video !!

[@firebellyK]

Great video,,,,,loved seeing the Assembly line and the first Garrett detectors! Thanks!

[@SueGirling68]

Wow awesome, I would love to have a Garrett metal detector but being disabled and only on benefits it's just going to stay a dream 😖. Awesome detectors they were building there, which one is your favourite Nugget?? Mine is the AT pro. God bless you. xx

[@GilbertNichols]

Thanks for sharing that. I never knew when I was living in Texas that I was that close to a cool place

[@anselb2000]

That was very interesting! Thanks for the great tour!

[@tennesseegem1063]

Thanks for the tour.

[@StivNagen]

Very interesting, NN. Of all the Garrett products I have ever owned, the only one that malfunctioned was the Garrett Carrot. I guess I had better send it in. Thanks for taking me with on the tour. Well done!

[@wernersunkel]

WOW love your videos and heart - amazing

[@kristofwanderer1]

Awesome video! I'm about 20 miles from Lufkin Tx, (where Charles Garrett was born) and I was hoping to make it to Longview but wasn't able to swing it. I hope your time here in the Great State of Texas was enjoyable!

[@DetectieMetaleArges]

Hello Nuggetnoggin! Very nice video man, I'm happy to see the factory where it was made my metal detector or at least how it is manufactured. In my opinion there is heaven on the Earth:)). Thank you for sharing with us how it's made a metal detector. All the best from your colleague from Romania!

[@johnmarvin6183]

Thanks for the tour. I have got to tell you something funny. I was on my way to an old school to do some detecting yesterday & the radio was playing & "Ride a horse. save a cowboy" came on. I thought "Nuggetnoggin!" HH

[@typ8723]

Thats some next level finds

[@theresawilliams3650]

Beautiful family history!

[@historydigginghampshire]

Awesome, thoroughly enjoyed watching that.

[@userunavailable3095]

I'm so glad you are getting to do this. I heard you say a while back that you'd like to be a spokesman for Garrett. Looks like your dream is coming true.

[@JoeSmith-gw6hc]

Super interesting. Thanks for the tour

[@Idolmakercat]

Thank you Michael, this was very nice to see the history behind what you do. Just think if no one thought to make a metal detector, all the things left in the earth. : )

[@wesleyhammil190]

I loved the video. Thanks for the tour.

[@pickindigger1428]

Great video and I loved seeing those prototypes!

[@JIMinBama1]

AT-Gold or AT- Pro . Between the two what is your preference . I have a AT-Gold but considering a AT- Pro for the beach . I would like to have just one for everything. Between the two what is your preference . Thanks in advance . :)

[@LordCarpenter]

Awesome! And thanks for sharing your faith.

[@houseblacksmithing9836]

AWESOME!!!!! How fun is that.

[@martyjohnsonozarkoutdoors8198]

Cool video nugget. I had to send my at pro in last month. (no sound on it or the headphones) they fixed it and it was back in one week.

[@candysantillo3325]

Very interesting and informative.Thank you

[@brianstewart3925]

A rare glimpse at the endangered American factory worker in its native habitat.

[@iseeteefilms.4575]

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing

[@LarsonFamilyFarm-LLC]

Most wonderful tour..enjoyed it...love the Garrett Company...they sent me many of those plastic bolts and nuts for the coil and arm braces that broke for FREE shipped to me even. I have six Ace 250 coils that are wearing thin just from normal use- long hours of detecting close to and on the ground...I re-solder the exposed worn down wires and then layer them with monkey glue type epoxy to keep the buffer and protect the coil wires. Garrett's prices and equipment are good...just wish the coils were a bit less expensive. coils take a lot of beating and wear.

[@eddya.3776]

7:30 great t-shirt.

[@porteralexander8936]

nice restoration to those flintlocks!

[@kikani8637]

I used to work for Garrett. They are a good company and a good place to work. The ppl are laid back.

[@dreamfury2351]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

[@DugMoneyDetecting]

Nice of you to introduce Vaughn Garrett, oh wait, you didn't! Nice work kid

[@OldSoulMillennial]

Love to see an american company employing american workers!!

[@imabee2010]

+Rosehillfarm I was thinking the same thing .

[@suds5866]

bit rude?

[@OldSoulMillennial]

+Shinobi Ninja How is having American pride rude?

[@suds5866]

Rosehillfarm Makes you sound like a Racist

[@OldSoulMillennial]

+Shinobi Ninja you are an idiot, America is comprised of many races

[@scramblendan]

Sweet! Very interesting. Thank you.
