Any Garrett GTI 2500 users?

Any Garrett GTI 2500 users? I love mine, have used it for years, kinda spoiled to it. I have a Garrett AT Pro which I've used very little, still trying to learn it and just spoiled to my 2500! If anybody is interested, I have a 12" search coil for Garrett GTI 2500 or 1500 for sale on ebay. Item number
141617774180
. Barely used it, too heavy for me. Excellent for deep targets but I'm a small frame guy, so swinging it for a long time wears me out. I prefer the smaller coil. Good luck bidding!

Yup the GTI2500 is one of my detectors. I have 4 coils for it. I usually use it exclusively in all metal mode when I'm looking for very deep targets.
I believe it is a better detector than most give it credit for. It is heavy though so not my first choice because of its weight.

I got the Garrett GTI 2500 to I like it very much. Do you guys take the battery pack off and put it on your belt.
I got a swingthing strap form Kellyco when I use the bigger coil.
I got 4 coils the two that came with it a 4'' and a small DD.

gabbyhayes, do you find more silver in all metal mode, I just stated to use that setting I've been useing the coin setting.

I tend to use the all metal mode....different than zero discrimination, to go over a beach that I have previously searched using discrimination.
If you listen carefully you will be digging some very small deep targets.
In canada if you are looking for clad you must hunt in zero mode because our modern coins are 94% steel, hence you must dig iron.
The 2500 is an awesome detector and hits hard on both gold and silver. If using one of the discrimination settings I like the belltone for silver or other high conductivity targets. Some people don't like the tone but I certainly do....user preference.
You will find silver just fine using the coin mode but if you want to find deeper targets the all metal mode is the way to go.
I don't like digging half way to china so I usually only use that mode on the sand beaches where digging is easier.
Good Luck

I'm digging deeper now, this summer the ground will be harder, we got alot of clay here.

Mine detects deeper than I want to dig...
