Overview

The Garrett Guide is a professional handheld metal detector built for security screening and secondary inspection at checkpoints, public events, schools, prisons and facilities. One-touch activation, an intuitive three-button control and a self-calibrating design deliver fast, consistent results with minimal operator training — ideal whether you are clearing a high-traffic queue or carrying out a detailed individual search. The Guide offers seven selectable sensitivity levels, from quick large-threat detection at busy gates up to maximum settings for prison-grade and clean-room screening where even tiny metallic items must be found, all across an 8-inch scan surface for fast, thorough coverage. An Instant Frequency Offset button clears electromagnetic interference so several operators can work side by side, while a Reduced Sensitivity Switch neutralises false alarms from floor rebar or nearby metal structures. Rated IP65 against dust and water and built to military-spec drop standards, it has a microtextured rubber grip for long shifts. A built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery delivers 125+ hours of runtime and recharges fully in about 5 hours over the included USB-A to USB-C cable. It is backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Garrett Guide used for?
It is a handheld security metal detector for screening people and bags at checkpoints, events, schools, prisons and facilities. It is used for primary screening or as a secondary check after a walk-through gate — it is not a treasure or gold-prospecting detector.
How long does the battery last, and how is it charged?
The built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery (3.8 V / 2.5 Ah) provides 125+ hours of operation and recharges fully in about 5 hours using the included USB-A to USB-C cable.
How does it handle interference and false alarms?
An Instant Frequency Offset button clears electromagnetic interference so several Guide units can be used close together, and a Reduced Sensitivity Switch instantly cancels false alarms caused by floor rebar or nearby metal structures.
Is the Guide durable enough for daily field use?
Yes. It is rated IP65 against dust and water, built to military-spec drop standards, and fitted with a microtextured rubber grip for secure handling over long shifts. It is backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
