Title: Love it
Review: This is my first metal detector. It's really easy to use I watched a couple YouTube videos and I've been finding some things. Mainly that's in bolts and washers and a dog collar but it was still fun one day I'll get rich off of this thing

Title: Excellent Performance but
Review: The ErgonomicsThe ergonomics of the design are very good as long as you are 5’ 6” or taller. At a height of 5’ 6”, I adjust the stem as short as it will go. The control panel is very well arranged. The buttons are very easily pressed with the thumb of the hand holding the unit.The handle is at an angle that requires you to bend your wrist too much if you grip it with your fist, but you can grip it with your fingers extended somewhat, allowing your wrist to be nearly straight and comfortable. Because my forefinger was falling above the foam grip, I maneuvered the foam high enough that it compressed into the control unit. I could not figure out the purpose of the arm strap – I removed it.Coil Angle AdjustmentThe arrangement for adjusting the coil to shank angle does not provide enough friction to prevent the weight of the coil from tilting the front of the coil down as evidenced by others who have broken the plastic bolt that adjusts the friction.To solve the problem, I made a washer with three holes for the pegs like the rubber one, from a 0.016”” thick clear plastic yogurt container cover, and placed it behind one of the rubber washers. This solved the problem, but it is best to place one of the washers behind each of the two rubber washers. The added washer must be thin enough to allow the rubber washer to recess significantly into the cavity, and the stem with washers must slide easily into the coil ears.The Battery Cover.The battery cover of the control unit bumps into the shank cam lock as you attempt to slide it off. You can solve this problem by filing off about 1/16” off the pointy end of the battery cover.The AA Battery AdvantageA significant advantage of the Garrett metal detector design is that it uses four AA batteries instead of the two 9-volt batteries that many competitors use. The four AA batteries have an energy capacity that is about 64% greater than that of two 9-volt batteries. Furthermore, two 9-volt batteries typically cost 2.5 times the cost of the four AA cells.LoudnessIt is extremely loud, especially in the pinpointing mode. The headphones solve the loudness problem, but it is awkward dealing with the cable mess if you need to lay down the detector from time to time.The CableI added a mic stand cable clip to the stem to help in dressing the cable. I wanted the cable dressed close to the stem, but not so tight as to stress the strain relief at the coil.UseI located a “tungsten” ring with a target ID of 75. Tungsten has a relative conductivity of 30, and I expected a number smaller than 75 for the target ID. The ring was between two very close iron indications and a little difficult to capture. Iron masking might have been useful had I known the target ID would be 75.

Title: There is a steep learning curve, but this is an excellent detector!
Review: I needed to find a property marker. I tried to dig for it with no luck - and I knew within a few feet where it was! I used this Garrett detector and I found it in five minutes!!! This detector has a pinpoint function which shows a location strength bar and I could see it get higher and lower in a 10 inch left to right sweep and 10 inch up and down sweep. I pinpointed the marker and dug down 2 inches deeper and found it immediately.Paid for itself in its first outing.I also found my dirt in the northeast has lots of minerals that sets off the detector on any setting over 2 bars. I ordered the super sniper coil which should work better in my soil when looking for small items like coins.

Review: We were able to use the other evening. We were at a resort and decided to check around the cabanas. It really started getting dark and was ready to stop. The detector went off and we found a penny!! Yay!! We live in MD and it has been so hot. Can't wait for it to cool down so we can go detect at so many more places. We are near Sharpsburg MD (home of the Antietam Battlefield) and can't wait until the temperature lowers!!!Works great. Can be adjusted for arm length. Also watched several videos on you tube to better learn how the settings can be used correctly for the areas we will be detecting. 😁

Title: A good sporting use metal detector
Review: For the money, this is good intermediate sporting use metal detector. Works fine detecting iron and aluminum. Definitely download and read the complete manual to properly setup the unit for detecting the types of things you are interested in.

Review: Really good quality detector, the kit is perfect for new starters, the only thing missing is the spade and pin pointer.The unit can detect most metals, including gold, silver, aluminum, copper etc. It has a really good depth, way over a foot. So perfect for more deeper digs.It's very comfortable and is very lightweight, it has an adjustable strap. You can also adjust the hight of the detector.The set includes waterproof cover, headphones, coil protector and obviously the detector.The detector is easy to set up and came with a detailed user Manuel that if you have no experiance is very helpful in explaining how to understand and use your detector effectively.The price was brilliant and I would 100 percent recommend.
