Looks like it's in good shape. A couple more pictures might help you sell it quicker though. How old is your detector? And how old is that model of detector?Uncle Willy

Its 18 years old.....it has the whippy rod and was the second best in line of the GTA series....if its the ad I saw....I don't think they cost as much new as the asking price.. as all Garrett products a nice unit...well made and likes gold jewelry...with a lot of pro aspects and modes...
[size=large]This is all very interesting to me. First of all I don't know what you mean by a 'whippy rod'. The rod on this detector is solid and has always been so. You say you saw the ad for it? Where? No one has asked to see the additional photos and pictures, and I haven't given out where they can be seen.
There are a lot of extras that will go with this unit. And Yes, it does find the goodies. I believe that age doesn't really matter with a metal detector. Some people just want to buy the newest so they can say that they have the newest item on the market.
To me as long as the detector perfoms the way it did when it was purchased, it's still a good machine. Coins and jewelry really don't change much and gold and silver are still gold and silver. They are out there and ready to be found.[/size]

This is not a classified forum its for discussing Garrett units old and new and I feel I clarified my original post with In Retrospect as your definetly not one of the ads I saw on the net as there was several...Just gave my info to the forum from personal experience as I originally owned and used this unit.
As good as Garretts are they listened to compaints and came up with a solid ramrod upper rod as the original Ultra GTA top rod was not solid and gave a whippy effect and anyone that used one can attest to this. My apologizes as read the wrong ad unfortunately and jumped the gun rather than have a newbie or uniformed individual pay an extremely high price.
