Hi,
I have been using the Garrett Infinium for a year...it is deep but to much trash digging and I didn't get in the water that much.
I sold it and now need an honest opinion about which detector would be best suited for my purpose.
I am looking at either the X-Terra 70 or the Garrett GTI 2500 and I know very little about either of these.
I coin hunt after work almost every day a couple of hours. Weekends I either relic hunt all day or prospect here in the north georgia mountains.
My questions are:
1. Has anyone here used both of these detectors and if so, which would be more suited for all three of these situations?
2. If I go with the x-terra 70 detector, which coils should I get for coin, relic and very small gold in trashy areas and the same with the GTI 2500?
3. which has better trash rejection without missing to many good targets?
4. Is there any major problems with the coils for the X-terra 70? the Garrett coils seems to have problems with cable becoming loose an false triggering easily.
I don't want to make the same mistake as before with the infinium. It is a good detector but it didn't pickup small gold like I was told it would by (infinium users) on other sites and it was difficult to distinguish between coin and trash.
I know it is nearly impossible to give an un-biased opinion when you use and love a certain detector but if you can, please help me make a (hopfully) wise choice.
Thank you for your help,
