I sent off a E-mail to Garrett suggesting a change to the 2500. Here is the E-mail let me know what you think.

I own a 2500 great machine. The only changes I would make If you guys are looking for that type of input is changing the all metal mode . Make the all metal option on the 2500 to operate like the AT Pro. Closer to the target the louder the signal . Also target identification in that mode has the added feature of iron ,mid range and coin audio. Basically what I'm saying is give the 2500 in all metal mode the same feature that the AT Pro has in Pro mode with no iron decriminalization. As far as the conductivity numbers leave that exclusively to the AT Pro. With this change, also it would be nice that older machines could have an upgrade to this new feature. As it is now the all metal mode on the 2500 just operates as though you have the pinpointing button pressed constantly. This can be done on most machines if you what to metal detect with the pinpointing pressed . How awkward that would be. With this slight change I think it would satisfy the 2500 users and wounded hurt the sale of the At Pro with all its other exclusive features.

I had a 2500 and sold it. My ATPro is twice the machine at about half the price so far. Monty

Any changes that Garrett might make for the GTI 2500 all metal mode would be an improvement. I've have both the GTI 2000 and 2500 models and personally I find that in all metal mode they are pretty erratic. If the all metal mode on these models were to work like the pinpoint modes do on them then I would be quite satisfied, but they don't. Therefor when I need depth from my detector I'm forced to use a different brand.
