Modern Treasure Hunting Charles Garrett

Garrett metal detectors are recognized all over the world because of the progressed technology and commitment from their respective founders and owners. In 1964 Charles and Eleanor Garrett opened for business with one intention in mind, "To develop and construct the best possible multi-purpose metal detectors based on the most modern engineering possible". Over the years you may surely say that they have done just that. They designed the multi-purpose GTP 1350 which may be used by nearly anyone. Its features include: distinctive target sizing; it was the original time that besides target ID and depth it gave us an effigy of the target for us to see if it was worth digging. This feature alone revolutionized the industry, but that is not all the GTP 1350 comes with profiling mode capablenesses as well. It provides three target sizes on the LCD screen, coins show up as small, targets with a diameter of four inches shows up as medium, and items larger than four inches come up as large. I love this feature because I normally only like to gather coins, so I only dig up targets that are in the little range. It reduces my fatigue because I don't dig up as much trash as before. If that wasn't sufficient it likewise has five independent search modes: Coins, jewelry, relics, zero, and custom. If you hunt for coins like I do than choose coin search mode and you're off to find coins, If jewelry is your forte than choose jewelry etc... these search modes are preset at the factory but you may also adjust them accordingly to suit your needs. One other feature worth mentioning is it is discrimination circuitry which fundamentally allows you to distinguish versus not wanted targets. Unlike metal detectors of the past this gem of a metal detector will not lose sensitivity while discriminating. The Garrett GTP 1350 comes with innovative engineering and all the features above mentioned, yet it is one of the easiest to use while out in the field. Garrett has made sure that beginners, intermediate, and experts similar will all love this metal detector that is why they designed it and stamped their name on it. The Garrett GTP 1350 is unquestionably one of the most technical advanced, easy to use, and versatile metal detector on the market today.

Irritating, hard to read, not useful.
By A
I borrowed this book from our public library in hopes of finding out something in regards to how metal detectors work and how they are used. What I found appears to me to be 400+ pages of advertizing for Mr. Garrett, his productions and his company. The product placement, self-congratulatory product descriptions, and blantant publicity of his firm and dealers in his productions are so thick that I found it out of the question to extract any utile data from this volume at all. He even insists on including 11 pages of (quote) Letters and certificates received by Garrett electronics and the author (unquote), from everyone from Ronald Reagan to the US Department of Defense. While a heap of readers might consider this amusing, I find it insulting. I am glad that I did not compensate cash to read this massive advertizing piece. What makes this circumstance in particular disappointing is that there subsist fantasti books that advertize the author's merchandise and still deliver unbelievable value, such as (for example) Gougeon Brothers on Boat Construction : Wood and West System Materials. There was no need to write something as unreadable as Modern Metal Detectors.

How A Modern Metal Detector Works
By drayegon
I think most of us that read books for info do so knowing the troubles that any writer faces exceptionally when writing in regards to a fast evolving engineering science such as anything using electronics. Think when it comes to how electronics evolve so quickly that it doubles it is data each two years. As it may take four or five years to gather the necessitated selective information to be competent to write a book of this type. I was totally astonished that even now this book is not outdated and is covering very up to date engineering science in great detail. I for one would have liked for this book to have gone into theory with a lot more detail. Still this is not a book on how to build your own metal detector. It is notwithstanding a very good book on what makes a metal detector tick. Also it gives you a lot of idea of the who and how metal detectors came to be and how they are now in use to find all sorts of very priceless items. From Gold to Coins to Jewelery and treasure of immense value not only in a dollar value but in it is historical help for reconstruction of Things that happened hundreds of years ago. The emptiness of Al Capone's Safe not with standing. 73 dray
