    Water hunting on east bank of Lake Erie?

    I may be going to Lowville in upstate N.Y., and wonder if the Erie beaches are safe and productive for water hunting? Any legal problems with hunting there with land and/or underwater machines? Any suggestions as to which beaches might be good places to search. Thanks.

    GTI 2500 vs DFX

    I wonder how many of you have both extensive DFX and extensive 2500 experience, sufficient for you to give an informed OBJECTIVE opinion as to which one is best for (1) coin shooting and (2) relic hunting, both in all metal and in discriminate modes? It's important to compare apples to apples...

    Garrett customer support isn't normal,

    ...it is the absolute greatest! Twice I have sent in my detector with intermitent problems in the field, which they could not replicate in the repair shop, even after hours of trying. Intermitent problems are difficult that way, like when you take the car to the shop to fix the widget, and the...

    Questions about GTI 2500

    I sent off my 2500 because it did not image, identify or give the same depth readings on the same target in all three modes: all metal, discriminate, and pinpoint. Garrett's technician says that this occurs when the sensitivity setting is MAXED out, as mine was. So, they are sending it back...

    Can you identify this musket percussion cap?

    I found these relics yesterday with my DFX, but not much activity over on that site, so here's a photo of the objects I found near the old Spanish trail, a musket ball, part of a harmonica, a 3" oil lamp base, and a lightweight piece of copper or brass with leather still pliable attached under...

    WTS: one brand new 3X6" White's DD coil

    This is brand new, only a couple of months old, NEVER used. I have no need for it. Will sell for $100 plus shipping (no offers; if that ain't cheap enough for you, I'll keep it), or trade for a 4.5" Scorcher in almost new condition,to work on Garrett's GTI 2500. Thanks!

    GTI 2500

    I have been using the 2500 for months now, and I have observed the following with it. The pinpoint button locates the target very well, but in pinpoint mode the image depth and the target I.D. are way off, compared to both the real target as well as the reading in discriminate and in all metal...

    Please enlarge this pic only ONCE to see

    whether the solder residue from the lost device (between the lost wreaths) can be identified in old english script or otherwise. I found this plate with my trusty MXT, and I believe the militia belt plate to be immediately prewar, in Louisiana. Let me know if you can make anything out. It's...

    GTI 2500 in relic mode

    Who here can compare the 2500 to either the Whites DFX or MXT in relic mode? My experience has been an advantage to the MXT, with the DFX and 2500 dragging up the rear-not necessarily in that order. I suspect the 2500 can whup the DFX, but what is YOUR experience with personal comparisions of...

    For all you 2500 owners: How do you like using your 2500 for: 1.. Relic hunting in all metal? 2. coin hunting? How well do the sizing and depth indicators work for you? Do you use the 9.5" or 12.5" coils? Mine is scheduled to arrive Monday. I had great success with the 1500, but traded for...

    Kuddoos to Garrett's tech support team and staff

    I recently trade for a used 3 year old GTI 2500 which need the mineralization chips added. I needed it right away for a trip to an area of fighting between the north and south, so I asked them to try to expedite the needed upgrades (and a repair my trade partner didn't mention), and they have...

    GTI 1500

    Does anyone know how I can find the instruction booklet for this machine online? I want to study it in preparation for the arrival of my 1500, which is being shipped. Some manufacturers have their instruction booklets on line, but I haven't been able to find the 1500 booklet on the internet...

    Shadow X5 coin and relic detector

    This is an excellent, deep-seeking detector,and the very lightest, best-balance machine I have ever used. I have found a pewter button from the War of 1812, a silver standing liberty quarter, buckshot, and many other relics and coins with this machine. Spider type coil goes deep and is Very...

    falsing with brand new pocket uniprobe?

    The unit is new as of Today! It sends false higher pitches whenever I extend the coiled wire by moving the probe. I've disconnected the wire and re-mounted it several times without change. The unit does seem to find coins within 2-4", but I can simply stand, hold out the probe in my right...

    1816 Andy Jackson site gives up relics

    My MXT did a great job at the campsite of Ole Andy, finding a cuff button at about 6" and two buckshots in different holes at about 7-8". All 3 readings in relic mode indicated "button". The buckshots were larger than Civil War bucks. These were about 3/8" in diameter. Other, larger buttons were...
