    Can Garrett Detectors even COMPETE with the Latest & Greatest?????

    Wait, you mean the internet isn't real life? ;-) I agree, it was sad to watch Tesoro and White's close up shop. That's exactly why I hope whatever Garrett's next machine is really breaks new ground and turns some heads. It seems like the pieces are there, especially with some White's tech at...

    Can Garrett Detectors even COMPETE with the Latest & Greatest?????

    Hey John, I've been reading (and loving) your posts for years on here. But I have to ask: Who really is paying $1k+ for a GTI 2500 these days? Admittedly, I've never used a 2500, but I have used a GTI 1500. Compared to other machines out there today, it had a slow recovery speed and was weighed...

    Can Garrett Detectors even COMPETE with the Latest & Greatest?????

    Also, it's not a product issue, but does anybody else remember last year around this time when the "Find of the Month" winner was a guy who claimed to have found a "seated liberty $5 gold piece" that he probably ordered on Alibaba? Garrett got dragged in the comments for that on Facebook and...

    Can Garrett Detectors even COMPETE with the Latest & Greatest?????

    To me, it says a lot that Garrett still lists the GTI 2500 on its lineup of hobby detectors: https://garrett.com/sport/imaging-detectors/gti-2500 I used an AT Pro for years and loved it. Now, I use a Deus II. It definitely costs a lot more than a Pro, but even if you're on a limited budget, an...

    Xy screen when targets too deep?

    I mainly use the horseshoe and focus on the audio. I mostly use the XY screen when there's lots of trash, such as irregularly shaped iron or lead, as it helps me pick out coins or other solid targets. Like the target ID numbers, it seems like the accuracy of the XY screen diminishes with...

    Will AI lead to a Deus 3?

    I'm not an expert on AI, but I struggle to imagine how it could be used to improve a detector's ID capabilities. AI has to be trained on existing data. It's only as good as what you put into it. What constitutes a desirable target ID and sound varies from place to place. Here in the US, for...

    Anybody use the T2 exclusively in all metal mode?

    Me neither! I just have the T2 Classic but am now curious about the SE.

    Anybody use the T2 exclusively in all metal mode?

    Yup, I've read that post. Very intriguing. Fortunately the ground isn't too bad where I am, but next time I'm in Central VA I'll have to take the T2 along. One question I was left with after reading that post: Why is the T2 able to function so well in an environment like that? What about the...

    Anybody use the T2 exclusively in all metal mode?

    This weekend, I decided to take my T2 Classic out for a spin instead of my usual Deus 2. I had seen an old Aquachigger video where Chig demonstrates what this machine can do in all metal mode. So, I decided to hunt for a few hours in all metal and see how it went. Frankly, I was surprised by...

    Xp MI-6 pinpointer rubber tip protector

    I bought some of these and they're almost a perfect fit on the MI6. I just added a little glue on the inside to make sure they don't pop off while detecting.

    New D2 Update? But its too hot pan the east coast to detect

    Sorry, where exactly is it on the website? And you haven't been able to use it here in the US, have you?

    D2 13" coil smacks some deep silver

    Ain't that the truth! And pinpointing isn't hard, either. I never use the pinpoint button on my D2 and this large coil setup was no exception.

    D2 13" coil smacks some deep silver

    I got a 13" coil for my Deus 2 a couple weeks back. Since then, I've been looking for some way to really test it out. I decided to hit a local sports field where there's been activity dating back to at least the Civil War era. While I didn't get anything that old, it was a successful hunt. I...

    Relic mode users

    Thanks, I'll give it a try next time I'm out. I'm a fan of Relic and Gold Field because of how deep they can punch. The main problem I encounter with them is the iron (especially bent nails/misshapen pieces) which often sounds pretty good in these programs. I've found that increasing IAR helps...

    Used Deus 1 vs Minelab Xterra Pro for Beach detecting

    ColonelDan is right, the Deus I doesn't do well in or around salt water despite the fact that it has a beach setting. The Deus 2, tho, is a completely different story. It's really easy to use that machine on the beach. That might be more than you're willing to spend, but if there's any way you...

    I periodically do on some Civil War sites here in the US.

    Deeptech vs. Tesoro machines?

    So you'd say the audio on the Vista X is better (more informative?) than what you can get on your Tesoros?

    Tesoro v. Deeptech machines?

    Definitely not getting rid of the Vaq, just wondering if it's worth picking up a Deeptech to try it out or not.

    Tesoro v. Deeptech machines?

    The prospect of using 8 AAs instead of a single 9V definitely doesn't appeal to me. The only machine I've used that took that many batteries was a Garrett GTI 1500, which is a dinosaur by today's standards!

    Deeptech vs. Tesoro machines?

    One of the machines in my lineup is a Vaquero. I love the analog setup. It makes detecting simpler and more fun, but you can still punch deep and find what others have missed. I'm considering picking up a Deeptech machine to see how it performs compared to the Vaq. With Tesoro long gone, it...
