A little perk with the 250..

Due to its rapid target response and quick recovery if you whip the coil of the 250 you can pick up a couple of inches in depth. You can check this out in an air test or bench testing. Just pass a coin across the coil at everage sweep speed and see what depth you get, then speed it up and see what you get.

Now, if you put 2 coins as close together as possible, while sill getting 2 distinct signals and sweeping slowly, & sweep really fast.. do you still get 2 signals? I have a buddy that does the same thing with his Gold stinger, gets more depth but also leads to masking. Great though in low trash areas. ..Willy.
 
I'll have to give it a try. The target response and recovery on this thing is lightning fast. I came close to that today when I found three quarters, a dime, a nickel, and a penny in a pile. At first I got a mixed signal but when I raised and whipped the coil I got separate signals.

While that sounds fine, I would rather know how it airtests on a dime at a one foot per second sweep speed at both lowest and highest sensitivity settings.

If it can recover that quickly it would be great for covering lots of territory. I remember huting huge areas down in S. Az and having to crawl along due to masking. One also has to wonder how mineralization affects the sweep speed. I doubt that Garrett would incorporate something like the vari-filter in a low end unit. It would also be interesting to see if the GB could be relocated to the outside & what other pots can be adjusted. Hell, it's such a cheap unit & soon the used ones will show up on the classifieds, how much can someone realistically ask for a used machine? ..Willy.
 
I doubt than many will be showing up in the classifieds as they are hot as a fire cracker right now. I read where Kellyco has already sold two semi truck loads of them. The folks that already have them are tickled to death with them. I wouldn't part with mine and I have six Garretts.

..things cool down & the next latest/greatest comes along. Doesn't matter how fine of a machine it is or by what manufacturer. There are also a fair # of people with more dollars than cents who have to try the newest.. then sell within a short while. Take, for example, the Cibola/Vaquero. There's a steady stream of these "wonder" machines showing up on the classifieds. Regardles, the 250 looks like an interesting unit, I wonder what else is up Garrett's sleeve? ..Willy.
 
It worked on the Treasure Ace sries. Don't know about this new one yet. Mary at Garrett could tell you.
Bill
 
Don't know what's up their sleeve but I'm sure they ain't finished yet.
