The Garrett GTI 1500 Metal detector

This is one of Garrett’s top of the line metal detectors, but at a price most can afford. Garrett has long been known for their quality metal detecting equipment as well as their excellent customer service. This metal detector has many features that give you all the information you need to locate, identify, and know how deep your target is. It’s discrimination allows you to dig for the good stuff, not the junk. It’s salt elimination circuit allows you to detect on the wet sand at the ocean and helps eliminate “falsing” caused by the salt water.Garrett GTI 1500

  • The Teknetics T2 Metal Detector

    Teknetics Metal Detectors are made by First Texas, the parent company of Bounty Hunter and Fisher Metal Detectors. This company is known for its full range of quality metal detectors from beginner to expert. Dave Johnson, one of the most highly regarded metal detector engineers in the county, wanted to design a metal detector that would detect deeply and work well in trashy areas, separating the junk from the good stuff. He went to work on the design using the latest technologies and came up with the T2.

    The Teknetics T2 Metal Detector
    is great for coin-hunting, relic-hunting, and gold prospecting. With the newest technology, this is a deep seeking machine. It is a high-performance multi-purpose professional grade metal detector that utilizes the latest advances in electronic technology. It may look technical, but it is very simple to use. The T2 is easier to learn to use properly than other comparable metal detectors. The design is light weight and well balanced, and will provide optimal comfort for long periods of hunting for treasure.
    The T2 also features a large LCD screen with target identification display. The menu is a Straightforward Menu-Driven User Interface Menu System and is always visible. Double filter discrimination modes make it easy to search for objects in trashy areas like around old house sites. This detector also has ground cancellation and continuous ground monitoring for manual and automatic balance control. A waterproof 11-inch, open-frame, bi-axial search coil ensures optimal comfort and accuracy. This detector has great battery life and will run for up to 40 hrs on 4 AA batteries, saving you lots of money.

    Fisher F70 Metal detector

    The Fisher F70 Metal Detector is a good, top of the line multi purpose metal detector.  A common problem people have in detecting along side each other is the cross talk caused by another detector nearby. With the F70, you can shift frequency to eliminate this problem. Get it with free shipping!

    Product Features

    * 13 kHz frequency – good for coin shooting, relic hunting, and gold prospecting
    * Frequency shift for eliminating electrical interference and crosstalk of other metal detectors
    * Advanced software-based motion discrimination with notch for searching trashy areas
    * All metal auto-tune mode for deep-searching in non-trashy areas
    * Visual target ID by category item & 0-99 indication, both discrimination & auto-tune all metal mode

    The Tesoro Cortes Metal Detector

    Product Features

    Made in USA – Lifetime Warranty
    Microprocessor Technology – LCD Display
    Target Identification – MicroMax Design
    9 x 8″ Coil – Interchangeable Coils
    Built-in Mineral Rejection
    Tesoro Cortes

    Product Description

    The Tesoro Cortés 2×16 character LCD display will catch your eye as well. This area is the information center of the detector. The top row is an alpha/numeric display that gives a broad indication of your possible target.

    The Tesoro Cortés metal detector uses the phase shift of the target to determine the probable target and then looks at the amplitude of the signal to determine the depth. For example: a nickel and a quarter are in the ground and the quarter is deeper than the nickel; if we just went off of amplitude change, the detector may read the two targets as being the same depth.

    However, the Tesoro Cortés would show the quarter as being deeper because its phase shift response is different than that of the nickel. The Tesoro Cortés fits metal detector into a package that weighs just less than three pounds.
