How it differs from its neighbors
Garrett gives two mode counts for the AT Gold. The product page lists True All Metal and three discrimination modes. The manual lists True All Metal and two, DISC 1 and DISC 2. We cite both.
The AT Pro has the same 10 ft rating and MS-2 wired headphones in the box. It carries a larger 8.5 x 11-inch DD coil and 40 levels of iron discrimination against 44 here. Garrett gives a kHz value for neither. Of the three AT models, the AT Max is the one with a published figure, 13.6 kHz.
Garrett's Goldmaster 24k is another gold VLF, at 48 kHz, with an estimated 45 hours on 8 x AA. Garrett rates only its coil as waterproof.

Questions about the AT Gold
Answered from Garrett's product page, read Oct. 16, 2026.
Garrett rates it submersible to 10 feet in fresh water. The supplied headphones are for dry use only, and submersion needs optional waterproof ones.
Garrett gives no kHz value. It describes a high frequency and offers four slightly different settings, F1 to F4, to cut interference.
Garrett's owner's guide names meteorite hunting as a use. Iron meteorites, it notes, can read from the low end of the scale, like hot rocks, to the high 50s, like large iron targets.
