The Garrett ACE Apex runs six selectable frequencies: 5 kHz, 10 kHz, 15 kHz, 20 kHz, Multi-Frequency, and Multi-Salt. Each frequency option carries 8 independent channel shifts for a total of 48 settings, useful on packed events where electrical interference rides into the audio. Lower frequencies like 5 kHz pull harder on large conductive targets such as silver coins and copper relics, while higher frequencies like 20 kHz improve detection on smaller, less conductive targets including gold nuggets and thin hammered coins. Multi-Frequency mode runs simultaneous frequencies for stable target IDs across mixed soils, and Multi-Salt mode is engineered specifically for wet sand and saltwater beaches where single-frequency machines lose stability.
