    Love my propointer and question about GTI-2500

    I managed to do a little metal detecting last week for about an hour and the propointer really is a wonderful tool. I only found foil, rusty nails and barbed wire, but before I got the propointer I had to constantly scan with my heavy detector and feel through the dirt for whatever metal object...

    propointer question

    I received my Garrett ProPointer last Tuesday and have not had the opportunity to try it out except in tests at the house. Really works good and I look forward to using it in the field. My question is: Can you use something like this like you would a pocket probe? Will it scan coins hidden...

    help identify coin

    I did a little metal detecting at my local church today and found 1 penney from 2002 and a coin from 1911. I think it is a nickel, but due to corrosion I'm not sure. The face looks like a ladies face and has stars all around the face in a circle at the edge of the coin and the back has what...

    lost treasure versus W&E treasure mag

    which magazine do you like best? lost treasure or wester & eastern treasure magazine. I subscribed to W & E magazine, but it doesn't have very much how to as I would like. Does lost treasure magazine show more how to?

    canning jar lids

    In the jesse james segment, they detected the canning jar lid at notch 2 even tho it had silver dollars and gold coins also. So, if you are looking for a cache of coins in a jar, it will not register as a B targer, but a C or D, due to the metal conductivity of the canning jar?

    pro pointer

    I ordered a Garrett pro pointer and some books and videos yesterday and anticipate their arrival. I could have got it for $109.00 but decided to get the free gifts as accessories for $127.45. All in all, it was a good deal. Free shipping and no taxes on the purchase. Kellyco charges shipping...

    Jesse James treasure hunt

    I watched the hunt for Jesse James treasure and enjoyed it. I wish they had done more metal detecting, although the background information was interesting. I find it hard to believe that they would walk off from that last hole due to lack of funds and bigger equipment needs if they thought...

    chatter with 12.5 coil

    I went to my local church and tried using the 12.5 coil that came with my GTI-2500 and I got chatter everywhere I went. The foundation of the church must be embedded with concrete reinforcing wire. I came home and intend to go back with my 9.5 coil and see if the large coil was getting...

    1969-D penny

    I found 5 pennies Sunday and thought I had found a rare and valuable 1969-S penny, but when I cleaned it up it was a D mint mark. Anybody who doesn't take time to dig a penny could sure be messing up if they pass on one of these coins.

    all metal versus coins mode

    I finally got to do some metal detecting in my yard late Saturday and Sunday afternoon. I ran into these problems. One of the areas I searched was where I used to burn my trash in a metal barrel. I had hid something in an old pickle jar in 1997 and then forgot where I put it. There were two...

    no dirt fishing for awhile

    It's been sometime since I posted and I have not been able to go metal detecting due to the heat and anemia. Last thursday, a doctor cauterized two spots in my small intestines that was bleeding and I hope to feel like going dirt fishing soon. I had hoped to buy an Ace 250 by now, but I have...

    c & d readings on gti2500

    I have a problem understanding my GTI-2500. I mentioned this in another thread and someone suggested I post it in a new thread. I concerns gold and caches of coins. In a post about a 10 dollar gold piece, they said it read a penny? and another gold item was in the iron scale? I can't...

    new guy in town

    Hi everybody. I own a GTI2500 that I purchased in December-2007 and thought it was time I joined this metal detecting community. I had a lot of problems when I first got my unit and really burned up the email box to Melinda at Garrett's help desk. I have found out that most of the problems...
