This is so great! Warren... we need you to come back to Garland and walk around on the factory floor every day (In your hat and shirt) and talk to everybody and look for ways to improve every aspect of quality and final product user ability so the rest of us can all be more productive when we hunt for treasure!
Nice to see where both my ace 250 and AT pro were born. And looking forward to the rest of your U.S. visit videos. Thanks for putting the time and effort into your vids. They are some of the best produced projects I've watched within this particular sport we enjoy.
Nice tour through the Garrett factory Warren. I loved all of the old models mounted on the wall in the break room! Amazing to think Garrett has been in business of 50 years. Thanks for the tag along mate! GL&HH Doug
Archaeodigger Thanks for your comment Doug - I guess the weather is closing you down now! Yes some wonderful old machines on the wall there in the break room. The tour was fantastic, along with the great Texas hospitality! GL and HH mate! Warren.
Wonderful tour Warren. Very interesting to see these products being assembled. Thanks. This was by far the most in depth tour of Garrett's facility by far. I am a few days from ordering the ATX for a trip to Virginia. Gonna do some Civil War Relic Hunting Mate. Cheers, Terry...
Delaware Digger Thanks for your great comment Terry - I thought you would enjoy this tour as a long-time Garrett user. I will be uploading a video early next week with Steve Moore and I Civil War relic hunting in Tennessee with ATXs. You should find this very interesting mate - and congratulations on your decision to buy one, definitely needed in Virginia I hear. The red soil in Tennessee plays tricks with the VLFs so pulse is the only way to go to get the good deep relics. Happy Hunting mate! Warren.
Very interesting to watch an assembly line putting these machines together. and testing them. Great video Warren. Must have been awesome to visit and learn all about Garrett's historic past. All the best. HH Tony
magpie307 Thanks for your comment Tony - we had a great time touring the factory and we have more US videos on the way mate. All the best and HH! Warren.
Very interesting video to watch Warren, i didn't realize how how big garret manufacturer was until you showed us around to what they do.It seems they take full pride in manufacturing there detector's and carefully designed. Thank you for showing us the tour around Garrett.
ren booth Thanks for your great comment Ren - it was a real privilege to do the factory tour and see those quality detectors being put together - GL and HH mate! Warren.
Hi Warren - watching this video and the others in the series does put the message across - Garrett make quality product. Anyone interested, whether a hobbyist or professional must include Garrett product as part of their kit. Equally impressive - you're professional presentation. Not one crease in that shirt mate - top stuff. Seriously - really enjoyed the tour and seeing the real people who work at Garrett - assembling great quality product…made in the USA. Cheers mate GL & HD Ian.
***** Thanks for commenting Ian - of course, I can take no credit for the quality or condition of my apparel, this was all sorted well in advance by Colleen, which included the actual packing of the suitcase - just as well too, or most essential items would have been left behind. All the best mate - GL and HD/HF. Warren.
I found this video very interesting Warren, as I worked as a production supervisor for 30 years. I found it all festinating stuff, thanks for showing matey. All the best!!. John.
I've been using Garrett detectors for many years and I really enjoyed seeing where they come from. This is an excellent video Warren and welcome to the states I hope you enjoy your visit here.
Paleoman52 Thanks for your great comment Paleoman, and for your welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the USA and look forward to doing the same again in the future! GL and HH mate! Warren.
Thanks for organising that Warren. It could be a while before I get over to the Garrett factory. It was great to see their warm reception for an Aussie. I've always found factories interesting except when I have to work in them. International NQ Explorers/ What next? HH. Rob.
robsue Thanks for your comment Rob - the Texas hospitality was exceptional and it was a real privilege to tour the factory with the Garrett Executives. More USA videos in the pipeline! All the best mate and HH! Warren.
Great video the quality of production is A1 ...I still remember the days with the grainy old camera lol.I still get excited when I see you have uploaded a new video ;)
***** Thanks for commenting - we have more USA videos coming soon. And yes our new camera has improved the quality of the videos from our early days! Al the best and HH! Warren.
Bearkat4160 Thanks for commenting Alan - I filmed a very interesting interview with Brent while I was there - I will put it up in the coming weeks. Happy Fossicking mate! Warren.
Wilbur Burke G'day Will and thanks for the great comment. As you would know, many of the large camps are well documented and therefore well visited over the years. We have been fortunate to be the 'first in' to a number of spots up our way - many hours of exploring the bush on foot and in the Defender. Some camp locations can be found on the internet - try Peter's excellent ozatwar dot com. But really, do plenty of research - old newspapers etc, so you can discover the little know camps and more remote sites that still exist waiting to to be detected. If you are really lucky, you can find a lot of information from our elderly citizens who will remember things that you can't find on research - such as where the Diggers might have played two-up etc. Best of luck mate - Happy Fossicking! Warren.
GemQ1 Thanks for your comment Guy. I have a very interesting interview coming up with Brent Weaver, Chief Design Engineer at Garrett - all the best mate and HH! Warren.
First of all I just like to say welcome to the United States I'm not sure how old this video is I watch watch your videos all the time i'm just get used to doing these comments I think it would be really cool to come to Australia some day and looks like it would be a great place to visit do they generally like Americans over there it just seems like most of the world doesn't anymore
G'day Darrel, thanks for taking the time to comment on our videos. And yes Americans are very welcome in Australia, we have a long shared heritage, and in particular close military heritage. You will have no trouble getting around in Australia, although we do drive on the other side of the road! All the best mate, thanks again and Happy Hunting! Warren.
Good night friend, congratulations for the beautiful video of garrett, one thing that I did not see was the place of repair and maintenance of the defective detectors, I have a garrett sea hunter mark 2 detector, and it is defective in the electronic board, the friend could help me
m3sca1 Thanks for your comment - we didn't film any of the ATX production line but it is there in the same building along with all the other Garrett detectors. GL and HH mate! Warren.
Great video Warren. I've noticed that Mr. Charles Garrett hasn't been in the public eye in quite sometime... I do hope all is well with him. Be well, Al-Fu
Als AllMetalDetecting Thanks for your comment Al - I didn't have the privilege of meeting Mr Charles Garrett himself, but did get to see some of the famous relics he has unearthed. GL and HH mate! Warren.
(1). Please upgrade the Whites TDI SL with higher energy to the coil and a new ARM Cortex chip to analize the return signal with updrades to both ground balance performance in hotter soil and ground mineralization tracking (If that sort of thing is even possible on a pulse induction machine). More sensitivity to small gold and at the same time keep and increase the detectors ability to hit deep silver coins in moderate soils and on saltwater beaches. Capacity to run Nuggett Finder Evolution coils to their highest potential. Build the new TDI SL PRO purposed to run the flat wound evolution coils. (2). My new Garrett Goldmaster 24K new in the box was missing the owners manual. So when I opened the box I could not figure out how to operate the detector... Letting all the fizz and excitment out of getting this new Goldmaster upgrade. I want a 14" coil for my new Goldmaster 24K... Why? Well... at 48 kHz... The sensitivity is there... and running a larger coil gives an ability to hunt for larger pieces of gold deeper using the same machine! A coil cover should be included with every gold focused metal detector made! Why? Because we run the coil on the ground which makes having a coil cover an absolute necessity for desert gold prospecting. Its called coil to the soil! Putting a coil cover in the box lets us know you get it when it comes to desert gold prospecting. Putting an owners manual in the box helps us get the detector up and running without delay!
Hi, great video. I was considering a infinium LS, and i watched your beach dig, but never noticed another video on it. Did you decide to use an ATX instead ?
G'day Al, thanks for the comment. I still have my trusty Infinium and did many hours detecting with it. I have a prospecting video using the Infinium ("6 Days in the North Queensland Goldfields"), and also a run through on the features of the Infinium on my channel ("Garrett Infinium Demonstration"). The Infinium is a brilliant all-round detector. If you are getting one for prospecting, the small 8" mono coil is the way to go as it is more sensitive than the larger coils. I now use the ATX for prospecting as it is far more sensitive on small gold - still the Infinium is very good value for money, easy to use, and you can dive with it. Hope this helps mate. Happy Hunting! Warren.
Interesting video. the 250 must be the top starter machine. We have had 4 garretts not a once of bother first class equipment. Is there not going to be an upgrade to the atp thought you might of got a peak . Think its ready for modernisation have they been out 5 year??Nice one Dave
david hopper Thanks for your great comment David - we have all the Garrett relic machines too and the ATX - superb equipment which never lets you down! All the best mate and HH! Warren.
im interested to buy thise product garrett ace 400. can i buy there direct, But u can ship in philippines in cebu city? how much i pay with credit card?
ACEinOZ G'day ACE - none of the ACE range have volume controls, but of course if you use the Garrett headphones, these have a volume control on each ear. GL and HH! Warren.
Ау Гаррет , когда что то лучшее чем GTI 2500 сделаете? Прибор хороший но морально устарел. И катушку на него диаметром около 60-70 сантиметров... Это наверное лучше будет чем две глубинные рамки.
