Is it just me or is there something happening with the new detectors coming out ? The ctx has a 2-d screen , the manticore same , nokta has a 3-d screen on a new detector that is coming out , the Golden something , and has another one similar to it I think I read somewhere. This leads me to believe that Garrett was way ahead of his time when they came out with the gti 2500 with imaging . Sure it doesn’t image the object very deep , maybe 6-8” at most , but think about it . The gti has been around a lot longer than most detectors and Garrett was the first to use imaging I believe . I’m probably wrong about this but it’s head scratching why it seems that the metal detector companies are coming back to this technology . Kudos to Garrett for being such an innovator from so long ago . I still have my like new gti 2500 and sure it’s not as fast on separation and light weight or maybe not as deep as some of the new or newer models coming out but that imaging sure put it years ahead of its competitors and it even talks to me lol . I think if Garrett came out with a newer version of the gti , for example, 15 kh frequency , less weight , maybe even updatable with imaging , more imaging coils and a few more technological updates it would be a great competitor against some of the newer detectors and older detectors . Of course this is all my opinion so don’t bash me too much lol . Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year .
