Thanks for the info, sending mine in now for the upgrade! Garrett is the best when it comes to support and customer relations.

I think it would have costed the company more money to upgrade your last one with all the labor cost. It was prob cheaper just to ship you the new unit.

What was gained by the upgrade. Did you have a operation software improvement.?

Carl Hair , it. I longer had treasure talk, and pretty much was the same machine as before. I wanted the upgrade because the 2500’s are supposed to be better balancing then the 1500. Unless you have lots of experience with the gti series machines, I wouldn’t recommend doing this. When it came back from Garrett, it was an entirely new machine. New factory box, brand new. I don’t own it anymore, I still had issues with interference, and ground balancing. I had a bad time even finding pennies. Went to an equinox 800 and immediately started finding silver coins, in the same areas I was using the GTI.
I was told today by Garrett that $384 gets my 2500 updated(mine is 21 years old!). So if $400 roughly gets all new “brains” that means they value the rest of the machine at nearly $700 because it sells new for $1,099. Also told treasure talk is a thing of the past so the upgrade eliminates the lady who talks to you each time. You get a better deal on the upgrade than their trade-in offer which is 35% off any new machine. So if $384 got you a new 2500 that beats paying around $700 .

Gary Carter pretty much sent me back a new machine-it’s a dam good deal..however I didn’t end up liking the machine. Lots of interference from local power sources, and couldn’t for the life of me get dialed into it. Sold it and bought an equinox 800.

@@medicmaniac193 that's what my buddy I detect with wants me to do. He owns the 800 and loves the multi frequencies it uses to detect. I just don't understand yet the point of having all frequencies in play if you want to discriminate. Isn't that defeating the purpose? Anyway, give me an update on how you like the Equinox. One thing for dang sure,,it's lighter! Thanks for getting back with me. Oh, one more thing. Would you happen to know what sensitivity you had your GTI on? I discovered only recently that mine (possibly since I've owned it) was set to only 3 and I'm hearing that's way too low. I'm finding more now that I boosted it to 11 per one recommendation.
