:detecting:So, Ahh. Umm. Today, While I was walking, Tryin ta find a grocery store. ( I'm at a motel) I look across the road ya see, Just looking.
HEY! A Pawn Shop! KOOOL! I go check it out. Looks like an old safeway store (its not) Place is huge for a pawn shop!

So I went In and walked out with a Garrett GTAx 1000 Power Master. Now I aint too new to swinging a coil, But....Don't know much about garrett machines.
I know this baby is pretty old. Got it for $150.00. Can anyone give me an HONEST idea what I have here? ( I know it's not junk)
and an idea how to use/set up? I downloaded an owners manual already. Thanks fer lookin. Happy hunting.

Hey, Is this any good on gold? Prospecting?
 
The GTAx Power Master 1000 mfg about 20 years ago -- great coinshooter ! set up in Jewelry or relic Mode (ignores iron) for best depth , run sensitivity to 6 or 7 to start with set threshold to barely audible --dont mess with the" target blanking feature "(of 1 to 4 inches Eliminates ALL targets!) too much of a gimmick-you will miss good targets ----------- sweep coil side to to side arc slowly about 3 to 4 seconds for best results !
 
You bought an excellent metal detector. The power master circuitry added extra depth to the previous ultra models. You also got it for a steal!
