    What Is The Advantage Of Non-Motion Detecting?

    I have a GTI 2500 and it has non-motion in the all metal mode. Also non-motion is used in other Garrett detectors in the pinpoint mode. I can understand using non-motion in determining the target size but how does it help with other operations?

    Winter Hunting Protection

    A couple of days ago, I hunted for two hours in 15 F degrees or -9 C for a test of my preparation for cold weather. I found that I need improvement on my hands, head and equipment. I was using a pair of heavy ski gloves and the hand that was holding the detector was cold to very cold most of...

    ATX Sling

    John, would you care to comment on the use of the sling provided with the ATX? I use a GTI 2500 and would like to try to use a sling to distribute the load better so I can swing it longer. Any information you can give, such as sling construction, possible availability and how it affects the...

    No Metal Detector Required

    My son sent me a text message with a picture of a dime attached. He said: "I found a dime! No metal detector required!" My response: "The next time you are here I will tie a string on you and take you hunting."

    AT Pro and Cover-Up

    It was almost 7 PM when UPS arrived with my new AT Pro yesterday evening. I ordered it from Big Boys Hobbies and Bart, I thank you for your promptness and knowledgeable service. Along with the detector, I ordered two additional coils and a GTI 1500 Cover-Up to be used on the Pro. With the way...

    What's This?

    A couple of days ago I found this small knife in a park and I would like to know if anyone has an idea as to its purpose. The knife was very sharp and required only a little touch-up to put in shaving sharpness. It would be very dangerous in the hands of a child so I don't think it was...

    Garrett Backpack

    Will the Garrett backpack hold all of the components of the Ace 250 and GTI 2500 disassembled detectors, at the same time? It would be convenient to use the backpack during both travel and hunting. I have another container for holding the recovery equipment.

    The Day Before Yesterday

    Today, Salt Lake City is under snow again but that is not the way it was the day before yesterday. The shadow areas in the local park were frozen but not the exposed areas under the bright sun. They were good to go so I started swinging my trusty 2500. After a short time, I got a .50-cent...

    Question About Playground Repeats

    When you have hunted a playground to the extent that coins and other goodies come very slowly, what is a good time to wait for recharging? I know the answer to this will depend on a lot of factors but I am sure most of you have a "rule of thumb" you follow for repeat visits.

    Test Readings From An Iron Rock

    The rock in the attached picture is a combination of magnetite and hematite with a small magnet adhering to its front. Magnetite is strongly attracted by a magnet but hematite is not. Hematite is red and you should be able to see the reddish splotches on the face of the rock. Magnetite is...

    How do the All Metal modes on the 2500 and 250 compare?

    I would appreciate a comparison between the All Metal modes on the 2500 and the Ace 250. Is the All Metal mode on the 250 similar to the Zero Discrimination mode on the 2500? I am familiar with the 2500 but not the 250.
