Thanks dude!! We will dig soon lol

Thanks for watching hh!!

Thanks for watching hh!!

Thanks!! soil is mild and the apex is still really struggling. Just needs more depth, maybe a bigger coil. Hh coop

Thanks!

Good choice! Hh

@Ichabod Crane not a fan of any company , I've owned nearly every garrett there ever was , put simply they are shit , put a piece of iron next to gold ring and run the coil across it 😂 i beg you 😂😂

@Ichabod Crane minelabs overpriced ? The vanquish is cheaper than the apex and a far better machine in a field or park scenario, you can pay thousands for machines that are nothing to do with minelab , I think you need to do some research regarding this matter and how machines work in general , take that Apex into iron infested soil and you will see , they love deep iron 😉

@Ichabod Crane A.T.X 😂 the old Nokia 3310 😂

I would sell them all and get a minelab equinox.

Easy choice equinox

@@sscindercoop thanks, hoping you'd say that

Yup should be a good entry level machine

I would go with the minelab 100% over this Apex

@@sscindercoop Thanks

I agree this machine is a flop!

You obviously don't know how to use it lmao!!

That's a sign lol

Have there been downloadable updates?

@@JustinMurray170fin yes there is currently one update that added more depth and other features not quite sure

Much better but also cost a lot more. This is an entry level machine. Thanks for watching hh

@@sscindercoop Dumb question.

Not true was used with iron audio very low. Has no depth, no vdi and chatters. Glad u like yours

You gotta look at what ya get for the money. Cant sell a flag ship if the entry has most of the same features

@@sscindercoop True words. Just my opinion. . Do not get me wrong, I am not promoting any MD, I just feel, for me, it can be done, and it isn't financially constraining. If I were to buy a 21st C entry level MD for my boy, for sub £350? Waterproof. Robust. Work-man like. It'd be false economy not to.

Tim Rogers you’re thinking like a consumer, not a manufacturer. Waterproofing the Vanquish would cannibalize sales from The Equinox 600, and 800 to a degree.

@@Ferrous_Bueller Yep, I can see your point man to a certain extent.... Mind you, waterproofing Simplex hasn't 'Impact'-ed or negated Multi-Kruzer/ Anfibio sales though, no more than waterproofing F22 and F44 made a dent on the higher end FTP Md's. It simply made them a more 'rounded ' option as intro level MD's....Just my lil ol' opinion man.... It is what it be..I just swing them for hours on end!. The best of wishes to Garrett; Mine Lab too. They are greatly respected by an awful lot of people... I ran a 800 hard for 2+ years. Hard stubble/stalk/wood and plough...Great tech for sure, but it kept having component parts breakages, over and again... Sadly, I had to sell it off cheaply, and revert back to my original MD. Gutted wasn't the word after waiting many moons to get my hands on one of the second batch. Maybe mine was gubbed though? Stay safe fella. You do a great video.

@@KernowekTim Definitely appreciate your opinion, I like gabbing about detectors so always fun to discuss. In regards to the Vanquish, I can put it in greater perspective and why Minelab doesn't have the incentive to waterproof compared to the companies you mentioned. Minelab has always dominated the high end high price detector market, and they've been slowly dabbling in the low end. Minelab doesn't have any incentive to waterproof the Vanquish, because that would start cannibalizing sales from the Equinox. FTP has always dominated the low end market, and they are the king of low end big box sales. FTP detectors are sold in every Dicks, Walmart, Costco, etc etc etc all over the U.S. Adding water resistance (not waterproofing, the F22 and F44 are only resistant like the Apex) only serves to upsell their dominant position in the low end of the market. Nokta-Makro is in a different position, as they weren't really defined until the Simplex. They tried to dominate in the mid-to-high end market, which they started doing really well in until the Equinox dropped and took the wind out of their sails. Then the Simplex dropped and gave them a huge position in the low end market...for them it made sense to waterproof a low cost detector to capture a position they didn't have. While Nokta_Makro had a slow but growing loyal following, the Simplex is what put them on the map and opened them up as an option to the common man that didn't live on detecting forums and super into the hobby. A good buddy of mine that is a dealer said that the Nokta-Makro North Amercia manager told him that the Simplex was a massive seller, but undercut their other offerings like the Anfibio and Kruzer, but they hope to recapture that mid-to-high segment with a multi-frequency waterproof unit. So in effect, I believe that what we are both saying is correct, just correct for different companies.

That's my point! Think they are trying to target the weekend warrior with this machine. Thanks for watching hh

That's exactly right. What I don't understand is why people believe in commercials so much. Garrett anything isn't as good as a lot of the competition but people watch those tv shows and believe all the nonsense. I love American made products! But I'm not buying something thats sub par.

That detector is a great value!

Hate to say it but whites let whites down by repackaging the same old technology over and over

I prefer the vanquish

sscindercoop i guess it's tried and tested technology with the minelabs. I have been in two minds about which to get, I like the look of the apex, but if the vanquish performs better then I'll go with that. Thanks for the reply!

@@sscindercoop I second that!

@@gprice1978 Looks won't find good targets. Performance will!

Hopefully it's the start of something great, if they make a flag ship version that runs all freq at once that will be a game changer

When you say a little late in the game exactly what do you mean by that just truly curious why Garret users shouldn’t have the best available technology and this is from someone who’s never owned one nor cares too just such a weird statement lol and also this has a data port so 100% its gonna be updatable at some point

@@treasurehuntingnewyork5979 there is companies that have had this technology for awhile now is what I'm saying. They are a little bit behind the curve right now. I was hoping for something new out of them, something above the playing field. Not something even with.

Yeah I wasn't impressed at all unfortunately. Thanks for watching hh

Lol

The problem is that they put these machines in the hands of people who have no idea what they were doing or are paid to promote any product they make. Sorry your not happy with your purchase. If ya have any questions on other machines I'd be glad to help I've owned and used most of them. Hh coop

My brother bought one to replace his Ace 400. He had it about 2 weeks before he sent it back. It will only ID coins accurately to about 2 inches in the ground, after that the ID numbers bounce all over the scale. And the depth maxes out around 6 inches. The Ace 400 is easily a couple inches deeper with more stable ID at depth.
