    Can anything be done about power lines?

    other than avoiding them that is... Seems like the spots I want to hit most are right under lots of power lines. My GTA 1000 goes CRAZY! Any advice?

    I "fixed" my broken GTA 1000, and now it gets me DIRTY!

    The pinpoint button on my GTA 1000 got stuck in pinpoint mode. It wouldnt return to normal search mode. The button was concave. I disassembled it COMPLETELY, and then THEN called Garrett (wrong order right?) Garrett said $60 plus S&H for a new control. I said to myself "Im a cheapscate... and if...

    Need help with SPIDER BITE?

    Hi. I was digging a HUGE hole in my backyard (my wolf died; we figure heart attack) and about 2-3 feet down I kept finding wood planks and glass jars. I was really intrigued by the way the dirt was really soft and crumbly like old wood. Almost like I had discovered ancient ruins or something...

    TIP: Searching in pinpoint mode near metal bars

    I'm sure you all know this (especially the pros here), but for any newbies... Heres a tip. I use a GTA 1000. I discovered that it works REALLY well on playgrounds to hold down the pinpoint button while searching close to playground equipment. I scan EVERYTHING. Even under the equipment and...

    HOW DO ~YOU~ DIG? PLEASE LEAVE YOUR INPUT!!!

    Hi all, just curious... while coinshooting and looking for jewelry in parks do you..... Dig only shallow items? If so HOW shallow? Only on surface or 2-3 inches? Do you just skip the deeper stuff and go for volume, or dig it all in hopes of an old misplaced find? Does anyone else here have a...

    Is it safe to store your Garrett in the trunk?

    :hot:Hi. Weve had our Garrett detectors for about 3 months. No really hot temperatures here yet, mostly in the 70s. We keep them and our other brand detector in the trunk or our Nissan Maxima. Its really conveinient for last minute detecting. Will this hurt them on hot days? The trunk dont get...

    Sweet SITTING spot!

    We hit an untouched "private" playground (and a NICE one I may add) recently. We were digging coins pretty good. My son is Autistic, and he gets bored easily, so my wife had head to the car with the children when I hit my spot. This playground is in the valley, and there was a small bump on the...

    I found a new use for all those pulltabs

    We headed out, my wife and I, to detect. We stopped at the mailbox to get the mail, since in the car is one of our few times we have time to read it. On the drive back, I pulled several NO POSTAGE NECESSARY business reply envelopes from the credit card offers, and emptied my pocket of all the...

    GTAX 1000... Worth a DD coil or not?

    Hi all. I have a Garrett Ultra GTA 1000. It has a crossfire 8" coil. I'm considering a Garrett DD power coil for it. Does anyone know for sure if this coil will help me much? Is it really worth the price? Is it much better than the crossfire coil? Thanks!

    WHATS WRONG... Bump & beep

    I have a Garrett Ultra GTA 1000 that I got used. It has the oval 6X9(?) head. I'm relatively new to this, so is it normal for my detector to beep every time it gets bumped even the slightest in the sand or on the soil? Ive tried everything, and it doesnt stop. Underwater in the surf is...

    Very TIRING detecting & The DIGGING dog!

    Just got back from a trip to Myrtle Beach SC to do some detecting. The 4 hour trip took 8 hours up, due to accidents, road construction, and getting lost 3 times (weve been there many times and not got lost... so much has changed) We stopped at a park along the way called "WoodCastle". If your...

    Need help with TR DISCRIMINATOR

    As posted in my last post, I just got 2 new (new to me) detectors. The GTA 1000 I have completely figured out. The TR Discriminator is still a bit of a mystery. It has a 4" super sniper coil. We cant get it to read any deeper than 2"-3" no matter what we do. It is VERY good at what it does, but...

    My AMAZING Garrett Story.

    OK, Heres my story. Starts slow, but gets better. I wanted to get into metal detecting. So I went to Walmart and got a Bounty Hunter 2200. I took it out, and we found some interesting things in my back yard (a 12" long all metal toy car that looks like a derby racer, an OLD plow head, an OLD...
