    Garrett Newbie Here

    Here's a field test I did on the ACE 300 International version: About 10 years ago, I purchased an ACE 250, a new machine by Garrett Metal Detectors. It was a real winner! A machine at that price, with all the bells and whistles (notching, depth readout, target ID, various-programmed hunting...

    - 40 and -55 continue. Here's Last Couple Of Hunts A Week Ago

    Last few days the arctic vortex is making crazy cold conditions up here. Here's what I dug on a snow hill. It was not as cold obviously. The Garrett APEX just keeps finding targets. I am a another six dollars closer to my annual gold coin. To keep busy, I made some suet to feed the birds and...

    Any updates on the pros and cons of the APEX?

    Well, I have found many rings, silver coins and plenty clad. It might be a great choice for your grand daughter. It's light Well-Balanced Only 2.5 Pounds. Easy to use. Some pre-set programs for simplicity, yet has new technology to even tweak it up more for gold and silver targets. Any new...

    Garrett MS-3 Z-Link Headphone issue.

    Call Garrett at 1 800 527 4011 and have a discussion with them about your headphones. It's hard to accurately comment on Garrett's response, but most will tell you Garrett has one of, if not the best warranty in the business. Good luck Dan.

    Anyone Else Notice A Reduction Of Finds During The Past Year?

    I found less coins in my usually hunted parks. No large groups were allowed in many of them, so there were no company or church picnics. The beaches had less people also. I believe covid had a negative affect for metal detecting over all. What are your thoughts.........

    AT Max reliability

    I had one of the first final production models. So far, so good. I have had the coil in freezing water many times. Operated the unit in extremely cold conditions. I did get some interference issues a few times, and they were fixed by tightening the coil wire. I have also lost connection to the...

    Did The Math, And Calculated My 2020 Total Coins

    It's been an interesting year, with covid 19, a new detector (Garrett APEX) and less people congregating in parks throughout the summer. I did manage a few water hunts, and there too, crowds were not allowed. But, I maintained my health, wore my PPE and even got my Covid vaccine a couple of...

    Cold Cash On The Hill Inching Slowly Towards My 2021 Gold Coin Purchase

    Last couple of snow hunts were somewhat productive. Got some nice one dollar coins. Due to covid, lots of people are suffering from cabin fever, so the families head to the hills for some fun. Another 11 months to go before I start gold coin shopping.

    First "COLD GOLD" Hunt This Year, Welcoming 2021

    My buddy and I headed out for our first prospecting trip this year. We beat our expectations. Getting some of the frozen gravel was tough. My boots leaked, got soaked with ice cold water. The gold pans froze minutes between sampling tests. It was cold out too.....-7C / 19F. Persistence paid off...

    Got My Gold Coin................................................

    When I first started detecting, I picked up pennies that other others ignored. $40.00 worth of pennies could buy a nice gold coin back then, The same gold coin today is worth sometimes 10 x as much.

    Got My Gold Coin................................................

    Bought my annual gold coin last week. They are getting hard to find, as they are in demand. I have been purchasing them for over 20 years with my clad. This year, my unofficial clad count is about $170.00. Can't go wrong with investing in gold. Here are some of my gold coins that will go back...

    Has Fongue been around ?

    Good to hear from you Fongue! I am sorry to hear the news of your mother and brother. You have a lot on your plate. We miss your posts. You have posted some wonderful photos of the places you hunt. All the best to you and your family. Prayers sent from my family.

    Infinium had a pretty good time yesterday in the Gulf

    Good job Dancer! It gives all of us a good reputation. I still have my Infinium. A great PI machine for "deep" targets. I know you have done well with your detector.

    GTI 2500

    The GTI has a very deep true all metal mode, single tone, but with icon-curser/ID identifier still working. The GTI 2500 is also still designed to be utilized with the deep seeking 2 box system. Comparatively speaking, it is much larger and somewhat heavier then most new designed detector...

    I remember a while back, he said his mother wasn't doing so great, and he was spending a lot more time with her then usual. I hope she's OK.
