I sure had a rough day at the park. Took my GTI 2500 out to get the treasure of my life and it TICKED as I went over the target. Blue me away. I could not get it to stop. Evan if I held the treasure seek button, as I went over the target all I got was a series of clicks. Well any way I bagged the detector up and took it and me home, in utter hopelessness. I called Garrett and found out it would only cost 45.00 and was relieved, so I went in to measure it all up to box it up and just tried it out and the lovely thing worked correctly. SO I have come to appreciate it's ability to fix itself. I knew it was wonderful. Tick Tick Petermus

GTI 2500 Tick Tick
- Thread starter pliverca
- Start date
maybe the target you passed the coil over was a watch hence the the tick tick. just kidding.
The bad part about having to send a detector in for repairs is the shipping costs.
It may never do that again. I would try holding the start button down for 5 seconds to do a factory reset. It may never do the tick tick thingy again after a reset.

Probably EMI. Next time switch frequencies and if this does not work lower the sensitivity. If still not resolved move to a different location. I find when the police park behind our house and turn their radar on I might as well forget using my GTI 2500 in the yard. Changing frequencies will change to a different rhythmic Tik Tik Tik either faster or slower. Also if my neighbor plays video games with their wireless controllers I have the same issue. I noticed as the sun is setting the EMI gets worse for a time and then gets better. I have a test coin in the front yard that I cannot detect even with subtle EMI present. The next day it rings in clear as a belltone.
The above has occured with every detector I have owned which includes Minelabs, Fishers, and Garrets. Even other high end ones like the Explorer SE, and Fisher F75.
