Had my GT a month, found something on every outing, including 2 gold rings, 1 with 3 diamonds, I was a tad worried when I first bought it, after having a Garrett Euroace., but now find it great. Easy to set up, set the controls and forget it. I haven't dug any iron since I've had it, tho I know it's there as the GT nulls over it. Used it once on the shaft, way too heavy,we have the S shape shaft in UK, now hipmounted it can be swung all day. Very pleased with it.
