Garrett GTI 2500 / Garrett GTP 1350 / Garrett GTI 1500

Hello, I have a friend that asked me a question about the operation of these detectors. Garrett GTI 2500 / Garrett GTP 1350 / Garrett GTI 1500, The question he asked is they all have "Graphic Target Profiling" or "Graphic Target Imaging". The question is, If you have a coin say 3 inches from a pulltab, would you know with out digging both targets ? An how far is the recover distance at "regular" sweep speed if a coin say a dime next to a iron nail.

Your post is a little vague. Clarify. Doesn't make much sense.

If you have a pull tab next to a coin, On the "Graphic Target Imaging" will they merge into one target ? Will it hide one of the two targets ? As far as I know it shows the size of , something coin size, something larger then a coin, and something even larger. Is that right ? Now how far apart will the two objects need to be to only dig the coin ? Does that make sense ?
Next part if a coin is next to a piece of iron, some detectors will hide the coin signal and you will end up passing by with no idea that you have just past a coin. Iron masking ?

At a normal sweep speeds targets close together can and will run together creating one signal or a broken signal. The recovery speed on these machines is pretty quick and you can slow down and pinpoint individual targets unless they are right on top of one another. While using imaging if they are close enough for the coil to see them both the machine will indicate larger than a coin, but you can slow down and pinpoint a single target if they are far enough from each other to do so. The machines can give a target id on two diferent targets that are close together though.

Example: I once was searching an area where an old church once stood and received a signal with my 2500. The TID cursor would flash between dime and nickel 8 inches then 10 inches. The size indicated coin sized object. Upon digging out the first target at 8 inches or so, it was a 1965 dime, I rescanned the hole and it read solid nickel at 10 inches. I then retrieved a buffalo nickel at least 10 inches. Although these two separate targets where at least 2 inches apart in depth but in the same hole the machine indicated dime and nickel and even the depth of each. These machines are pretty impressive once you get to know them.

Maybe Uncle Willy or others can add some insight.

BCOOP, Thanks, that was the info he was looking for. I will pass it on. Jim
