Hey Mr. B....Welcome to T-net...I'm not From New York but been on the Garrett bandwagon since '84, using the 1350 now but looking at the 2500 for my next upgrade, hope you find lots of great things to post and enjoy the 2500, happy hunting

thanks fiddler................I love the garrett but am struggling with it............I need to hunt with people who know how to use it..............I think I spend to much time digging up junk..........can't seem to get anything good yet........

This is old advice but well worth it, if you haven't tried it already...Go out in your yard and find an area with no signals, and bury some coins at different depths and get used to what they sound like and what the readings on your display are...More importantly bury all types of coins (one at a time) in the same hole with different pieces of junk and see how the detector responds in each case, scan them east to west, then step around the target and scan north to south and remember the sound and readout of these signals. In my opinion the best feature of the high end Garretts is the size profiling, practice using that on your buried targets in the yard until you master it!
...One more thing if it's not too many already...if you are getting nothing but junk signals turn your sensitivity down, that helps in a trashy area...good luck!
