The Garrett Metal Detector Company is a well-known manufacturer of metal detection equipment, catering to a wide range of industries and applications. The company has a rich history spanning several decades. Here is a brief overview of the history of the Garrett Metal Detector Company:

The company was founded by Charles and Eleanor Garrett in 1964. Charles Garrett, a successful treasure hunter and innovator in the field of metal detection, established the company with the aim of producing high-quality metal detectors for various purposes.

In its early years, the Garrett Metal Detector Company primarily focused on designing and manufacturing metal detectors for the hobbyist treasure hunting market. Charles Garrett’s expertise and passion for metal detection helped the company gain recognition and establish itself as a trusted brand in the field.

One of the company’s significant contributions to the metal detection industry came in 1971 with the introduction of the first successful discrimination metal detector, the Garrett Groundhog. This innovation allowed users to discriminate between different types of metals, greatly enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of metal detection.

In subsequent years, the company continued to introduce new and improved metal detector models, incorporating advancements in technology and user-friendly features. Garrett metal detectors gained popularity not only among hobbyist treasure hunters but also among professional users in various fields, including law enforcement, security, industrial applications, and archaeological exploration.

In the 1980s, Garrett Metal Detectors expanded its product line and introduced a range of metal detectors tailored to specific industries and needs. The company developed models specialised for security screening in airports, government facilities, and public events. These security-oriented detectors played a crucial role in enhancing public safety and preventing the smuggling of contraband items.

Over the years, the Garrett Metal Detector Company has consistently invested in research and development, leading to the introduction of cutting-edge technologies in their products. They have incorporated advancements such as digital signal processing, multiple frequency options, wireless communication, and ergonomic designs to improve the accuracy, sensitivity, and user experience of their metal detectors.

Today, the Garrett Metal Detector Company remains a prominent player in the metal detection industry, offering a diverse range of detectors for hobbyists, professionals, and specialised applications. They continue to innovate and provide reliable and effective solutions for a wide array of industries, helping individuals and organisations locate and identify metal objects with precision and efficiency.

This can be seen with Newest Edition to the Garrett Fleet The Garrett AXIOM Gold Detector. A Trye Pulse Induction gold finding machine.
