Garrett Pro-pointer review

October 20, 2011 by Rich Leave a Comment

Garrett Pro-pointer review.

Tired of digging for hours at one hole that sounded like a good target only to pull out another bottle cap? I know how u feel, but I have not experienced this for some time now thanks to the pro pointer which I will now review.

The Garrett Pro-Pointer is a recovery tool made by Garrett to pinpoint targets in your hole. The tool is designed to cut your recovery time in half by taking you straight to your target.

How does the Garrett Pro-Pointer do this?

The pro-pointer is a miniature metal detector that has a 360 degree “view” around the cylinder. When it is close to metal objects it vibrates and sounds an alert tone. The closer to the metal the more continouse the vibration and tone will be. In this way it guides you straight to your goal in that hole! I have experienced this first hand and it truely is worth its weight in gold!

The Garrett Pro-Pointer is also built tough! Extremely strong and thick cast plastic makes this a study tool. Abuse the hell out of it and it will keep on trucking. Unlike a flimsy thin plastic pointer like the Automax. (Stay away!)

It is also water resistant so you can wash you Pro-Pointer under the tap or use it in damp conditions.

If you wish to use the Pro-Pointer completely submerged in a river for example you can but you will need to do some modifications. Cover the on of button and speaker hole with silicone sealant from your local hardware store. This will give it extra protection in the wet. Also use something like plumbers tape on the threading of the battery enclosure so it is also more water tight.

All in all this versatile tool is a champlion that has helped me recover coin after coin that I would never have found with only my detector. I may have still got them but they would take an hour each to locate taking time away from finding more targets. More volume of digs means more sucess! Time is precious so get you Pro-Pointer as you’ll never regret it! I can go out without mine at all.

Order your Pro-Pointer here.

Top service, quick delivery, best Price and quality advice.

Garrett Ace 250 Customer Review

Garrett Ace 250 Customer Review

The Ace 250 metal detector from Garrett Metal Detectors is the world best selling Metal Detector. As an owner and user of the Ace I thought Id do a little write up metal detector review from a customer perspective and not a marketer!

What I love about the Garrett Ace 250:

The weight of the Ace is top class, super light and easy to use. You wont even feel it on your arm or back. Also Batteries last for an eternity! I had the Ace 250 for 3 years and I changed the AA batteries around once per year – maybe twice per year if you go out allot. No need for rechargeable here. Although the Pinpoint is not as accurate as the GTI for example, it still does the job well in my opinion. The Price of the Ace is also a key selling point. Easy to change coils to a larger one if required. Nice coin hunting machine. Have found a ton of coins with this baby at good depth. Perfect for those just starting out. Extremely simple to operate and put together.

The down side:

The Ace 250 wont reach the depth of some of the expensive units although sometimes it can push them close. The discrimination range is 12 segments which do the job but may lead to some overlap with trash when compared to a GTI 2500 for example with 24.

Conclusion.

All in all this is the best value for money buy for the first timer. You wont find more features and a better price performance ratio on another unit as compared to the Ace 250 metal detector. This is what makes the Ace 250 the worlds most popular metal detector. Also take a look at the Ace 150 metal detector which is a bit cheaper but does not come with essentials like pinpoint and its discrimination range is limited. I would recommend getting the Ace 150 for the kids.

It is a virtual certainty that you will be hooked on the hobby after buying the ace and after a few years of hunting you will probably want to upgrade to a fancier machine.

Thanks for reading this Garrett Ace 250 Metal Detector Review.

Good hunting South Africa!

Garrett GTI 2500 Customer Review

Garrett GTI 2500 Customer Review

As customer I though I would write a quick review of how I have found the Garrett GTI 2500 and Ace 250 metal detectors to be.

This post will focus on the GTI 2500 Metal Detector. Garrett GTI 2500 Metal Detector Review

My rating for this broken down into a number of areas I have highlighted below.

Pinpointing 9/10

I gave the GTI 2500 a nine out of ten for its pinpoint function as it seems to be on the money everytime and exactly in the middle of the coil even on very deep finds.

Dicrimination 8/10

Whenever I dug it always seemed to come up with the exact metal that the GTI said it would be. So when you are onto a coin you know its something good.

Weight 2/10

This beast is dam heavy! My first time out with it and a standard 9 inch coil nearly broke my back and made my arm fall off. The good news is you can detach the battery pack and put it on your belt. However I found the cord not to be long enough and to be irritating while picking up and putting down the unit while digging etc. It like being still attached to your mother with an umbilical cord. But then again if you are used to hunting with headphones its pretty much the same thing. The good news is that I now use a 12 inch monster coil on the GTI 2500 and even with that added weight I seem to be getting used to it. Your body will adjust and it may be good for fitness.

Treasure Imaging. 6/10

I had high hopes for the treasure imaging that gives you the size of the target in the ground before you dig. It does work pretty well in terms of letting you know if you are onto a coin size or can size objects expecially if they are within 15 cm of the surface. As soon as you go deeper the imaging seems to be less accurate and at times does not display for the very deep finds. I do find this to be useful info when its working and has saved some time digging cans etc.

Depth. 7/10

I find that the GTI is picking up coins and the like pretty deep indeed. especially with the bigger coil. Iv gone as deep as 50 cm on coins! pretty dam good if you ask me.

Battery Life. 7/10

The batteries – 8x AA seems to last a good long time even when not using earphones. I think with earphones you will get good value for money here. However nothing will come close to the Ace 250 on Battery life.

Other things I found Useful on the GTI 2500 Metal Detector.

I very much like the Backlight on the unit – when it starts getting dark on a hunt a can push a few extra minutes in with the illuminated backlight. I definitely like the long scale of discrimination. About 24 different segments that identifuy types of metals. A longer scale like this compared to the Ace that has a 12 scale is very usefull in avoiding more bottle caps etc. I also very much like the ability to switch between all metal deep-seeking mode and normal mode at a touch of a button. (Deepseeking continuose tone does go deeper but does not seem to be as accurate when identifying type of metal – so swithching between the two is like getting a second opinion on your find).

Some of the endless other features like salt elimination, ground balance and a tone of others I have not yet had a chance to put to the test. So far Im happy with the Unit and I would recommend it.

The Garrett GTI also comes with an optional depth multiplier coil called a treasure hound. It will push up to 3x deeper with this attachment but I shudder to think how heavy this may be.

I hope this personal Garrett GTI 2500 Metal Detector Review helps you with your decision.

You will never regret getting into this great hobby.
