[QUOTE="Gerard, post: 49351, member: 2763"][b]The easy way to get into Metal detecting[/b] I too had the desire to get into metal detecting some years ago. I found a local dealer who actually had demonstrator models that he rented out. He only recommended the White and Garrett brands for consistency. Not only did I get a chance to rent a unit, I was able to pick up a new model (but used) Garrett GTA for about half price. Even after 10 years (maybe less) the GTA still has the ability to filter out different metals. While the puppy can see stuff nicely buried, I normally limit the search to about 8 inches or less. That unit paid for itself in one season. My advice, shop around, buy a unit that someone traded in. The dealer I bought from gave me a full warranty from date of purchase. I've bought two others since. I now have a new GTI2500 that I got on eBay. In my opinion, the Garretts are #1 with Whites a distant second.[/QUOTE]
