Garrett Super Scanner V

The garrett super scanner v hand held metal detector is built around sensitivity figures Garrett publishes against the NIJ 0602.02 standard: a medium-sized pistol from 9 inches, a large knife from 6 inches, razor blades and box cutters from 3 inches, and foil-wrapped drugs or tiny jewelry from 1 inch. It detects all-metal targets - ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel - across an 8-inch scan surface that Garrett says allows quick, thorough coverage of a person in fewer passes.

Self-calibrating technology eliminates manual sensitivity adjustments between operators or shifts, and the unit gives sharp audible alarms with bright red LED indicators for clear detection signals, or an audible/silent vibrate alarm option plus a momentary push button to cut out interference from ambient metal. The case is rugged, high-impact ABS with a weatherproof rubber handle built to meet military drop-test standards.

This garrett metal detector super scanner v hand held metal detector fits security teams running a single-point checkpoint - door staff at venues and nightclubs, school security, courthouse screeners, and private security at events - anywhere a hand sweep replaces or supplements a walk-through archway. Its published sensitivity figures against medium-sized pistols, knives, blades, and small metal contraband make it suited to screening for weapons specifically, not just generic metal detection.

The self-calibrating design also helps teams that rotate staff across shifts, since operators don't need to re-tune sensitivity by hand before each use. For facilities that also need a lighter, more compact option for quick ID or pocket checks, the Garrett THD is a smaller alternative in the same security-wand family.
