    Chatter question

    I have a question about chatter. I'm trying to use my 12 or 121/2 inch imaging coil on my 2500 and all I get is chatter or overload noise. I forgot I was using rechargeable batteries and did a factory reset. After this the top cursor was jumping all over the place and I changed the menu...

    1937 Buffalo nickel today

    I was able to go to church today and able to metal detect for about 45 minutes until I ran out of steam. The first and only coin I found was a 1937 Buffalo or Indian head nickel about 6 inches down. I registered as iron, but had a coin tone and with the pro pointer I found it rather quickly...

    leasing land & Ga. DNR

    I posted this on another forum at this site and thought I would run it by Garrett site, also. I found a 100 acre site from the early 1900's and another 50 acre site that I want to metal detect when I get to feeling better. I am thinking of offering them $150.00 to $200.00 to try and lease...

    leasing land for detecting & Ga. DNR rules

    I have found a site that was constructed in the early 1900's and is now in a state of decay and a church camp in about the same condition. The 1st site is about 100 acres and the second site is about 50 acres, but the area searched would be a lot smaller than that. Both of these sites have...

    google earth question

    Hi Bob, I was looking at some maps on google earth the other day and using the satellite section and when I tried to use the 3-d section, it said I had to download a google earth plug in and I assumed this was the thing I needed to use google earth, but after I downloaded it and ran it I got a...

    pro-pointer question

    I was doing a little dirt digging the other day and my pro-pointer would go off every where I laid it down. I stuck it down in the hole I was digging and turned it off and then turned it back on to de-tune it and it didn't pick up any signal after that. I could take it out of the hole I was...

    When it rains, it pours.

    Got mad and cancelled my appointment with the doctor who was supposed to look at my sore elbow. Decided to take my dogs for a walk and due to rain every afternoon for about two weeks, I slipped and fell. Thank goodness I didn't fall on either one of my two small dogs. However, I did fall on...

    two coins & a sore elbow

    I got to do a little metal detecting yesterday and found a 1991 & 1973 penney and a lot of junk. Why do rusted nails register as coin? Really paid the price for going metal detecting with a sore elbow. I have developed a spur from an injury back in 1995 and I guess the doctor is gonna have to...

    4.5 scorcher coil versus 4.5 sniper coil

    Is the 4.5 scorcher coil for the GTI-2500 a better coil than the 4.5 sniper coil? A recent post advised me to get an extra shaft for my GTI-2500 and the scorcher coil and I like that idea. I also like the idea of getting the Ace-250 with the 4.5 sniper coil for a back up detector. I believe...

    pro pointer question & metal detecting Holland

    I watched a video at the library today about detuning the propointer and another one about using a coin to extend the depth or sensitivity of the propointer. I think I understand the part about detuning the propointer. 1st question:Do you have to detune it just once or every time you go into a...

    lucky quarter

    I was finally able to take my 2 small dogs for a walk last Friday and on the way back I found a quarter laying in the road. They have been hauling dirt out of this field and it was dated 1986, but you could tell it had been underground at some time because it was black. It looked like a token...

    I have been reading all the historical books on my old hometown in south,ga and have found some interesting information. I found some old Indian villages that were bought by white settlers and they are I believe in private owners hands. They are listed as historic, but not listed as state parks...

    water pipe, zero versus all metal

    I was out in my yard yesterday afternoon and got a strong signal and when I pinpointed it showed up as an E target, filling my head with dreams of a cache. However, it was an iron pipe, rusted and ran from the old well location to the edge of the front yard. I was surprised that it registered...

    dazed and confused

    I got permission to search this old homestead with my GTI-2500 and did not find the first coin. It is so full of nails and metal trash, I have decided to buy a sniper coil. I am thinking of buying the ace-250 with regular coil and sniper coil. That way I don't have to change the coil so much...

    survey pin

    My deacon asked me to help find the survey pin for our church boundary and I can not find it. It was buried and a rock was put on top of it and I find all kinds of metal with my 2500, but not the survey pin. I figured it would register as a 2 or 3, but the other survey pin they have that is...

    probe question

    I went to home depot and was trying to figure out how to build a probe and the guy I talked to suggested using aluminum instead of steel round bar, due to its lighter weight. I want to find someone with a tap and die set and put threads on the 36 inch long piece of metal and use some conduit...
