The Garrett AT MAX gives you noticeably more depth on deep silver and brass compared to the AT Pro, plus true wireless audio through included MS-3 Z-Lynk headphones and quieter behavior in mineralized soil thanks to a 175-point ground balance. The AT MAX also adds a backlit screen for dusk and pre-dawn hunts and enhanced iron discrimination. Both detectors are fully waterproof to 10 feet and run on four AA batteries, but the AT MAX is the natural step up for hunters who have outgrown a single-frequency VLF in the 6 to 8 inch depth class.
