Precise, Easy to Use

by Adam G.C. Rash in Hickman, KY USA -

Summary: Precise Easy to Use Review: Ok so I read the 2 previous reviews and was amazed at the negativity. I do not own a Predator III but I do see it in action and get to scan with it myself at times. This detector is absolutely incredible at finding coins. Within the past 32 months of its use, it has detected and collected over 2,700 coins! This is no exaggeration you would be amazed what is buried right beneath the topsoil. In using this detector we have come up with the phrase Garrett doesnt lie. If the detector hits, based on your discrimination setting, then you dig until u find it because it has never had a false hit since its first use. The X in the center of the coil is your pinpoint. If you go by that then its easy on your arms digging less holes. Also low frequency detectors do not read steel or stainless steel hardly at all or at all. Steel has a low ferrous content so it does not pick up. Makes me think how many 1943 Pennies Ive walked right over? Simply put this detector backs up its now defunct retail price, backs up the Garrett brand in a major way in terms of integrity and respect, and backs up that you will get your money back in due time. Along with coins, several rings, a vintage 1800s pocket knife, and one day I hope to find a historic military ordnance. Best of luck whoever gets the chance to read this! God Bless!

Biggest Joke of A Detector

by Neal Hatfield in Utah -

This detector was a joke. I had this detector on the advice of a sales person. This detector won't detect anything deeper than about 2"-3". The beep, regardless of depth, is the same volume. Pinpointing is almost impossible considering that the units beep is the same length regardless of where the object is under the coil. The LED's on the front of the unit are no help whatsoever. The unit is way over priced for what you get. Don't waste your money on this detector.

Traded It for a Garrett 250

by Ed Kidder in lewiston idaho -

I bought this detector and, after about an hour of detecting, I saw that it would barely beep even at my steel toe boot at about 2 inches. While watching a friend with her new Ace 250 getting great results, I was thinking, "That's what I need!" So I traded (up).
