I bought this for my 12yr. old grandson for his birthday. He had mentioned he would like one for the beach etc, so i spent time looking and decided on the quick silver, and it was a great choice, he loved it and is still using it every time he can. I would recommend it!!

I think water rust should be considered with wires and batteries and rigid refund policy risk. Don't get stuck with something you can't inspect reasonably.

This will find anything metal and the depth it will detect may be enough to get the job done but you will look silly crawling around on your knees with something about as round as quarter. Get a cheap detector, even a used one. It is never cost prohibitive to get the right tool for the job

The 4501 has an iridium center electrode. The 4418 is Platinum. I would not buy either of them.

I think you would want something a little more sophisticated with a pancake tube. The Inspector or PRM 8000. This is a great little detector but you need something more sensitive and quicker. You would need to bucket some water then test it over a bit of time. Either of the units mentioned will measure over time.

Go on line to the software provider and they will explain the difference between the gold and silver level. It appear the gold verson provides more detail for both lakes and coastlines.

The name Garrett is synonymous with metal detectors. I have owned mine for approx. four months now, use it almost every weekend, I don't pamper it, just brush off the dirt and sand and put it in a backpack. It has proven itself every time I use it. Coins, jewelry, even a bullet so far. The price is more than fair for the quality this detector provides. You will not regret buying one of these!

I have been an Electronics Tech for 30 years now and have repaired countless industrial detectors I tested this unit the GTI in all-metal mode against 6 other top of the line detectors and the GTI 2500 went deeper than all of the other units 42.5 inches on a water pipe and deeper than the new Garrett AT Gold when using the 8.5X 11 DD coil it will detect to 15 feet when using there double coil! I have found larger targets at 3 feet in all-metal mode and coins from 2 inches to 18 inches this is a great detector although it is a little heavy compared to other detectors.

it detects all sort of metals, gold can be detected if not far buried beneath the ground. i did research on what i had purchased and it gave me some great insight on how to set it at different levels to obtain gold, nickle and silver, good luck.

Yes it will find the white gold ring, lower the discrimination level to (Irn3). Read the manual to set a custom discrimination level, you can also try it with program 1. This is a great detector for the money, take it from someone who has $1500 detectors. But you must read the manual several times!!!

This is one of if not the best land detector in it's price range. I am routinely finding silver dimes at 8". You need to get the 8 1/2 x 11 DD coil set up

No this only helps pinpoint a target once a metal detector has found it. However the Garrett pro ATX metal detector is extremely lightweight it only weighs about maybe 5 pounds

Sorry for delay -I was overseas, and had to test. I used my 14K wedding ring, and the scanner could pick it up from about 1" away. I suppose it would matter where you lost it, but it will detect.

Personaly I have not found any gold. But it says that Bounty Hunter LONEGWP Lone Star Metal Detector will detect gold. People have found gold without buying another coil. It's a very good detector for the price. Hope this helps.

i can only answer the last question. buy an expensive radiation detector. i don't recommend the radex rd1503!

In my opinion the additional $70 for the Gold over the Silver is worth it. Basically, what the Gold has that the Silver does not is the LCD timer, the larger work table and the charcoal bin. These are all simply convenience items but I use them all.

I believe these are basically the same detector. Although the part #'s are the same, these are different units. This unit has a replaceable optical chamber. (whatever that means) Mine works great.

It can adequately find nails and other metal I've found up to several inches in. It provides a more exact target than other detectors I've tried. But it is also easy skip past a small bit of metal if the piece is large. I missed a small part of an old iron nail (140 yrs old) in a 16 ft floor board and chipped a blade on the bench planer as a result. Just go easy and careful and it will do the job.
