What Detector

[daddyflea]

I just got on this list but I have been a Metal Detector on and off for many years. I have three machines a Tesoro golden Saber, a White Classic III, and a Garrett GTA 1000.

I had a Garrett Ground Hog years ago and sold it. I was more happy with the Ground Hog than any I have ever had. I hunt real trashy areas and the Ground Hog had non motion discrimination.

What detector these days has that non motion discrimination?

I want to dig coins and only coins giving up rings and nickels if need be.

The GTI 2500 boasts a true All-Metal Deepseeking mode that provides
above-average detection depth and features.
It is
Automatic Pinpointing

I think daddy-flea was asking about non-motion disc, not non-motion all-metal.

Daddy-flea, to my knowledge, there is no one making TR disc. anymore. The 6000 Di pro. used to have it up till recently, but not sure if the successor to that machine still sports it. It is just seeeoooo out-dated, that they faded during the 1980s. The reason is, that motion disc. got soooo slowed down, that it was almost a negligable crawl for some machines nowadays. And since it far out-weighs the downsides of TR disc. (no ability in minerals, a bear to keep balanced, wimpy depth, etc...) everyone went to motion disc. I loved the Groundhog too. It had a pleasant growl, and sturdy feel. But find that even today's cheapo machines generally out-perform it.

The Tesoro Cortes has non-motion with visual discrimination. Only the retune is fast so it seems like a motion all metal mode. No drift correction needed.

The Fisher F75 has a non-motion all metal mode with visual discrimination. Requires manual retune to correct for drift.

One thing you have to remember about those detectors that say they have a cross-over type mode, where you have disc. TID showing, yet while in all-metal mode, is that even though the all-metal may be non-motion, you still have to have motion to "activate" whatever disc. signal (the back-ground TID) to register.

Some people have erroneously thought they can achieve all-metal depths, while in disc. mode, because they had one of these cross-over type models. But it's not the case. Your disc. depth (and any motion required, etc...) is all still the same. If you get 8" on a certain type coin when in disc. mode, you do not get it deeper when in all-metal mode, while retaining a TID. In the case of getting a coin up to 8" in disc, mode, any signal beyond that, in the "cross-over" mode, will be an all-metal signal, but register no TID, beyond the 8" So if you can hear it up to 9" while in all metal, that final inch will be an inch where you don't get it to register on the disc. TID.

Isnt the gold stinger one with no motion discrimination?
