GTA 1000

[04 Diesel]

Thinking about upgrading from my Ace 250 to a GTA 1000, will I be happy with the GTA 1000? Is it a better detector? It will mainly be used for coins and relics. Thanks.

The 1000 has been out of production for a good many years. Why do you feel you'll be upgrading?

Stick with the ACE 250. Save some more $$$ and get a GTP or GTI series detector. Here's a link to the Garrett Detectors...

So you guys are saying that the Ace is a better machine?

 

[John-Edmonton]

-lighter
-less batteries
-probably same depth with similar coil in similar ground
-faster reset time, faster target response
-variable coil options
-loves gold

My mistake, it is a GTA 1000 Power master. Does that make it better? Better than the Ace 250?

 

[John-Edmonton]

Mmmmmmm, you are now talking about a 20% increase in depth. I would consider those two machines par with each other, but the GTAx will give you more target ID information. No doubt about it...the GTAX 1000 is a hot machine and doesn't come up for sale too often

$250.00 a good price?

The 1000 has a lot of features not found on the 250 - 24 notch - surface blanking - audio boost - last mode switching - accept/reject - hip mountable battery pack - automatic ground balance in disc mode - salt elimination. A lot of these are still in use.

So is $250.00 an ok price?

I have a 250 and a 1000. I use the 250 the most.
