Garrett THD Hand Held Metal Detector

The THD packs several checkpoint-specific features into a compact body:

• Ultra sensitive detection - responds to all ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel weapons, contraband, and other metallic objects.
• Bright LED flashlight - built in for low light and night operations, and useful for scanning IDs or searching pockets and handbags during a check.
• 360° detection field - a powerful 4-inch detection length with a silent vibrating alarm and a red LED alarm indicator, so an alert does not have to be audible.
• Water resistant construction - meets IEC 529 IP66 standards, which matters for outdoor checkpoints and events.
• Rugged case - a high-impact case with a weatherproof rubber grip that exceeds Mil-Std 810F (drop test) Method 516.5, procedure II.

The silent vibrating alarm and compact size make the garrett thd hand held metal detector a common choice for discreet screening - settings like schools, courthouses, correctional facilities, and event security where an audible alarm isn't always wanted. The built-in flashlight is aimed squarely at that same use case: checking IDs and bags at night entrances or dimly lit lobbies.

As with other security wands, the THD is typically used as a secondary hand check alongside a walk-through security detector, or on its own at smaller checkpoints that don't run a walk-through archway at all.
