How to find gold nugget whit gti 2500

[@WeirdGuyInPark]

Interesting finds i may do a video like this of things i found with the GTA1000...Liked

Thanks for watching. I'll let Tim know you left a comment. Meanwhile, I'd love to see what you found using the GTA1000.

That would be great! I can't wait to watch your video, let me know when it's up so I can search for it!

But with normal coil how deep will the GTI 2500 go and above all discrimination to what depth is it reliable? Thank you.

[@timmanasterski8200]

What differentiates the GTI from other metal detectors is the graphic target imaging, if you're not interested in that feature then the GTI 2500 is probably not for you. The stock 9.5" coil goes down in southern red clay about 5-6 inches on a dime when using discrimination. If I run the detector in all-metal mode, I get another 1-2 inches of depth with correct target ID. The 12" coil is very comparable in depth to the 11.5" coil that is stock on the Minelab Equinox 800, but depth isn't everything. My brother claims the multi-frequency and higher speed of recovery increase depth, but from a technical standpoint it should be the opposite (less energy is received from each frequency thereby decreasing depth). However, I have noticed the Equinox has better discrimination reliability at depth. A nickel at 4-5 inches is all over the place on my GTI, but Mike's Equinox is always dead on around 12-13. What causes this? Is it the multi-freq? Is it just programming on the processor or DSP (digital signal processor)? I don't know the answer, but the Equinox is more accurate on nickels at depth. On high conductors, like copper or silver, I don't think there is much difference between the two. My perfect machine would be an AT Max with a simple A, B, C, D or E indicator or basically the addition of graphic target analyzer on the AT Max.

@@timmanasterski8200 Thanks a lot!!👍🏻

[@grupploso]

@@timmanasterski8200 I am looking for something that discriminates quite precisely even at the expense of a few centimeters of depth... So would you recommend the garret GTI 2500 as metal with such features? Thank you again

[@timmanasterski8200]

In my opinion, if you're looking for the most accurate target ID, then you need to be looking at the Minelab CTX 3030. If your budget allows it. The American designed metal detectors can not compare to the Minelab target ID accuracy. Again, this is just my opinion. Can you find great things with a Garrett GTI 2500? Absolutely, I've shown the power of the GTI, its a great machine, but target ID accuracy is not it's strong point.

[@grupploso]

@@timmanasterski8200 However, the GTI also has discrimination in the size of the target and I think that this combined with ID discrimination helps a lot in identification.The GTI will not be as accurate in ID as the minelab but has the discrimination in the size of the target that the minelab does not have.
