a SILLY question ( i KNOW i KNOW none is silly BUT.....)
- Thread starter oldranger

These are the notch numbers Ron, just like Chris said.
In other words...8 = 1 cent......9.5 = quarter......12 = $1 coin......like that
You'll get er down, just keep asking questions.
You sure picked a nice detector in the GTI1500, that I can say for sure.
Good hunting to you Ron ! Gene
If at first you don't succeed try to look surprised.

It'll all come to you. The 1500 has a bit of a learning curve and like I used to tell them when I ran the Garrett Classroom - that the GTI's are not like other detectors and if you try to use one like you used another brand you will have problems. But once you get the hang of it you'll never want to part with it. I've got about every model that Garrett makes and the 1500 is my favorite.

Certainly good advice Bill. What I would do over the Winter is to go back over
past posts about the GTI and write down things you would like to try out.
Work on one thing at a time and you wont be overwhelmed. You may pick up
new ideas and things you would like to try out right here. If you do be sure and
give it a good trial before you say it will work for you or not. This is especially
true when you are trying to learn a new detector. Everyones ground and hunting
conditions will vary, not to mention the actual detector settings. Use what works
for you and your detector in your ground. If something is giving you somewhat of
a problem, pinpointing for instance, keep practicing until you get it down pat.
It will all come together one step at a time. Your have a great detector that will
get the job done. There is no doubt about that. When I try to learn a new detector
it can be a challenge learning new things. At the beginning the detector will be
smarter than I am. After awhile you will learn what your detector is saying and be
able to call a lot of the targets even before you dig them up. Now you are in control.
You have the right attitude and I have no doubt you will do well. If it were easy everyone
would be doing this. Let's just hope that all those that tried to detect a time or two and
ended up putting their detector in the closet permanently don't bring them out again. It will
be standing room only then. Would hold my breath on that one though.
This is just my personal opinion and how I would go about it.

Sometime it's easier and a lot quicker to ask your questions right here Ron.
There are a lot of experienced GTI users that will be more than happy
to answer your questions. I don't have a GTI myself but will throw in my
opinions where I can. Once you start to really get accustomed to your
GTI1500 you will wonder how you had so many questions. And yes, I
believe in the not too distant future you just might be giving advice to
other GTI1500 users that have questions like you are experiencing
right now. As always, I wish you the very best hunting ! Gene

Yeah there is this myth that detectors are universal and work exactly the same everywhere. If that were true manufacturers wouldn't send their machines all over the world to be field tested. That's like the age old question, " How deep will it go." That depends on the user, coil size, what part of the world you live in, and the ground conditions there. It's a question that has no factual answer.
