There is nothing like having confidence in ones detector regardless of the brand. You are off to a nice start with the collection.

really like my gti2500 alot, never a problem in the four years i owned it.
use it at the beach alot and out camping dont run too much sensitivity or you
will get false readings. run your coil sweep a little slower to not miss any signals
great start with your new machine your going to like it alot more in your hunting the more you
get to know the 2500

What do you run your sensitivity at?

Do you alter any other default settings?

Man...that GTI 2500 is a coin vac with you. Pretty darn good totals in my books for the first battery change.

I bought a GTI 2500 brand new in 2003 and wound up doing back to back deployments overseas so it ended up in storage. I finally dug it out last weekend and hit the parks right around where I live (three newer parks, all >20 years old) and found 48 coins totaling $2.24. I reread the manual and a couple of other coinshooting books this week so I'm now just trying to relearn the machine. I ordered the Garrett pin pointer this week and man, does it help. I definitely plan to start MDing more.

I also do a lot of work up in Nevada and plan to take it up there when I travel. Some of my coworkers up there have a lot of property (6600 acres+) that they will let me hunt on along with a couple of claims. I've already ordered a couple of different coils and some other goodies to help out.

My dad used to own several machines and we used to MD a lot when I was a kid in St Pete, Florida. It's taken me 28 years to finally get back in the hobby. I recently found this place and really like all of the info here. Take care and Happy Hunting!

Great news about your GTI 2500 I just purchased one, anxious for the snow to be gone!
So i can get out there and work it! One question for you....... Did you do a lot of mode bouncing? or did you
mainly stay in discriminate mode? Keep posting about your finds with the 2500! Thanks!

(ibfinding) I use 6-7.5 on sensitivity at the beachs mostly in discrimination (coin) and in
zero disc. use deepseeking mode at beach then switch to disc. and coin mode
I don't use salt elim. at all.
