GTI 1500 or the GTP 1350

[dfg4240]

I want to get my first garrett but not the ace.
I am torn between the 1500 and the 1350.
The GTI 1500 is older right?
they are about the same price and maybe equal in performance.
Any help would be appreciated especially if someone has both.

Both the GTI 1500 and the GTP 1350 are very similar, except for the process in which they size a target. The GTI 1500 and GTI 2500 both have 5 different sizes "A,B,C.D & E" to categorize a target. The GTP 1350 only has 3 sizes, "A,B & C." The GTI 1500 needs a special coil to size a target, and it is done holding the pinpoint button down, the coil stationary and centering in the target. The GTP 1350 can use any compatible coil, and the machine sizes a target by swaying the coil back and forth over the target for a couple of seconds to get a target size reading. The GTP 1350 can also be set up with sizing/audio discrimination, so say you want to hunt in the dark. You just concentrate on the short audio bleeps, which designate a coin sized target.

Which one is better? The GTI 1500 will tell you a small target such as a spent 22 caliber bullet being smaller then a coin. The GTP 1350 will recognize the same 22 bullet as a coin sized target. The GTP 1350 lasts longer then the GTI 1500 on a set of either alkaline or rechargeable batteries. The GTP 1350 costs about $100.00 less then the GTI 1500.

If you mostly want to hunt coins and jewelery, the GTP 1350 will serve you well. If you are more geared to relics, the GTI 1500 might be the better choice. Both detectors also have a nice variety of coils available to help with your hunting choices & environments.

Thanks John.
I bought the GTI 1350 and I tried it out already and I think I am going to like it.
Tomorrow I am going to a huge park and try it.
You seem to have great info.
David
Goodluck

Went to the Park today for about 1 1/2 hrs.
total for today.
1,699,431 pull tabs and caps.
1 penny ,1 dime.
Think I have some learning to do.
Nothing special just left it in coin mode.

Thing is I like it.
Sort of neat little devil.
