Not ATPRO?/GTA 1000 Power Master

Nearly all metal detectors will read a target as iron if it is deep enough to still being read in the fringe area of the coil depth, and also large targets like aluminum cans. The GTA 1000 metal detector with the Power Master Circuitry is an excellent coin hunting machine even with today's standards. The fact that you are digging all the good targets means that you are an excellent hunter, and probably tend to get a lot of good finds.

I had a GTA 1000 Power Master back in 1994-95 somewhere around that time. It was a good detector a real coin magnet . Found a ton of coins with it.
Great machine!
Even by todays standards!
I had one for many years and I regret ever letting it go.

One of Garrett's primo older detectors that will still hold its own with the new stuff out there. Lot of folks still use them as their main machine.

I still use mine and love it. It may be old but it's definitely not obsolete. Yesterday I was using it around a 100 year old church and was finding a lot of old rusty nails and iron. At times I'd get a silver hit in one direction and a broken ferrous blip in the other. When ever that happened I just paid attention on how large of an area I'd get a signal from. Also, some of the silver hits would not repeat on every pass like a good hit from a coin. All the coinage retrieved with the GTA 1000 however were all "right on the money". (pun intended)
