What is next for Garrett?

[JASONSPAZ1]

I wonder what is next for Garrett. I think the GTI 2500 is long in the tooth and needs to be replaced with something lighter and waterproof like the AT series of machines. I mean who is buying GTI 2500's anymore? Also does the AT pro really need the standard mode and what amateur detectorists who starts with an AT pro uses and stays in the standard mode after a few outings with the AT? I feel as though anyone with an AT machine needs to start and stay in pro mode. I think Garrett underestimates the ability for someone to start off and stay in pro mode. The standard mode should only be available in the ace series. That brings me back to the 2500, it is supposed to be Garretts top of the line and it is standard mode audio only. I am not knocking Garrett but I think the time was yesterday when Garrett should of made a coin/relic machine that is a "pro" machine only.

The 2500 has been out since around 99 or 2000 --basically unchanged -except for a Chip Upgrade for improvement in mineralized ground and a black coil -15 years -----------if and when -bet the imaging is gone -a new model with a big ol DD coil -to follow the status quo , rick

Sadly, I think you're right.

I'm hoping for a new imaging model with number target ID, waterproof to at least 10 feet like the ATP. If that's offered, put my name on the waiting list.

My garrett at pro will outpreform the garrett gti2500 in depth, that tells me why not buy the at pro, less money and preforms better.

This is maybe the next GTI 2500, because it's from the net, it could also be fake

Of course we will know within a few days -i sure garrett will get plenty of calls /emails = If this is "Legit" it got leaked out by( most likely)someone associated with Garrett -without permisson -- Garrett always gives its own prelude before an official detector release --such as the GTI 2000(2500) "its coming--imaging" for a couple of months before it went to market --similar with the AT Pro /Gold . Will say coil design is Large and Odd style oval concentric style to give that kind of "target info" ------------ we will see --fake or legit

Well i hope its true and a release date is given at least

Are not the keypads too close to the bottom edge of the faceplate? I would think the adhesive backed faceplate membrane decal would soon lift at the bottom edge.

interesting.. give it multiple freqencies and im sold

That looks a very interesting machine,gut feeling tells me its the latest Garrett Photoshop AT special,could be out for Christmas but which one i am not sure

 

[Justin E]

Eh, seems like we've seen stuff like this before before a new detector comes out. I remember stuff like this before the AT Pro, Gold, and ATX.

 

[Roscue2]

Something tells me this is fake. Maybe its the shape viewer.

(Pin Mode) Garrett would call it (Pinpoint mode) here in the States...... (Pin mode) sounds like a foreign thing.

Yeah, Garrett is in an awkward spot because they just put out a new PI and the market for VLFs is a lot harder to crack, VLFs being way more popular. They'd have to make it a viable machine in the realm of the V3i, deus, etrac, 3030 and yet...why? the ATs are doing so well, they define the realm of medium priced machine. Been kinda funny watching Garrett put out these new pin pointers, pretending to be busy. They are selling ace's and ATs left and right!
