    Which detector would you recommend for..........

    ...............detecting ball fields / football fields. But I am mainly a gold ring/ jewelry hunter..................silver coins are a waste to time for me. (One ring has much more value than a worn out silver dime or quarter) Detector needs to be "hot on gold"..... fast recovery time and...

    GTP 1350 Smooooth operator..........

    .............except when in default sensitivity setting!!! I lowered it to " 6 " and it is great. The default is " 9 " and way to high. By lowering it, I noticed right away more sooth operation and much more reliable target ID readings. And it seems that the detector also disc's out the...

    8.5 inch Crossfire 2 coil on the 1350 GTP........................

    ................I'm told it will balance much better and give the detector a much less front-heavy feel. Has anyone done this??? I'm thinking of getting the coil but I have no way of trying it out before I buy it. Hoping some of you guys can give me your advice on this one. I do not like...

    John (Edmonton) and any other Garrett Guru's............

    .................has anyone tried the 8.5 inch Crossfire 2 coil on the GTP 1350? Would it work? I'm assuming that if the 4.5 inch Crossfire 2 works....that the 8.5 would work also?? Would it not make the detector balance better and feel lighter? What operational differences are there...
