What is the best Garrett to use in Trashy areas,

What is the best Garrett to use in Trashy areas like in the picture.
These lots use to have a house or building on them, some the house was moved off, the rest, they were tore down and loaded up and hauled off, and then the lot was bladed, later they put sod down. These lots have a lot of trash, rusty nails,tabs,bottle caps,alum. screw caps, iron pipes, bolts, you name it and its there. The coins and old tokens are not deep, 1" to 6" deep.
I was wondering how the
2500 with 4.5 coil
1500 with 4.5 coil
Ace 250 with small coil would do,,,also the 2500 & 1500 would be used in some open areas where the coins are deep.
The ground is about 5 on a CZ or 50 on a MXT or F-70...
Thanks for your reply.

All these Garretts....ACE, GTP, GTI using the sniper coil work well in trashy areas. And good depth too!
 
The deepest (and most $$$) is the GTI 2500 in which case you would utilize the true all metal mode. The others, ACE, GTP 1350 or GTI 1500 would probably all be similar in depth. The GTP 1350 will size a target with the sniper coil, the GTI 1500 will not size an object with the sniper coil.
 
it more about small coil size. ANy of the Garrett units with it's associtated sniper coil should work well. If I had my choice it would be the GTP 1350 w/ small elliptical coil.
 
I had a 1500 several years ago, but did not have a small coil, so how do you make the 1350 profile ?
Thanks..

....Simple.
Isolate a target, press pinpoint to center it and then release the pinpoint button - the 1350 automatically enters the Profiling mode at that point.
As you sweep the target in measured sweeps, youll get a 'chirp' at the end of each audio response, to indicate you are in the Profiling mode.
Once you have profiled the target to your satisfaction, just tap and release the PP again, and you exit the Profile mode.

You do have to sweep at a certain speed, though. The profiling feature is time based; swing too fast or too slow and it cannot work properly.
