GTI 1500

[ggoodew]

I wrote Garrett today a bout my GTI 1500.I told them the trouble I am having pinpointing my targets and false reading.They said I may have a defective machine to send it in for repairs.See the problems I am having are false reading's and trouble pinpointing my targets.
I have read the manual a number of times and watched the video about the same number.I got my from a very good dealer but they where out of new in the box and sold me their demo model

How high do you have the sensitivity set? You should have it at 6 or 6.5. Which coil do you have? Centering the target correctly with any GTI is absolutely critical for accurate pointing and readings. You can't get sloppy like you can with other detectors. Do everything slower with a GTI as it has a lot of information to process. If you're in abig hurry you will have problems.

I have tried 6 to 6.5 and even lower down to 3.5 on sensitivity. I also use the coil that came with it 9.5.

Time to put it in the hospital.

you must have a bad 1500, as my 1500 is the best pin pointer in all the detectors I have ever used.

 

[Uncle Willy]

Yeah they are great pinpointers.
