freelancer79d Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 What type of detector and coil should Santa be looking at for a beginner like me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azdigger Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Whites GMT...great for gold and meteorites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freelancer79d Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 A website that sells detectors recommended the following metal detectors for meteorite hunting: The entire Quantro Sensing line of metal detectors and Lorenz metal detectors, especially the DeepMax III (both out of my league) or Minelab's Explorer SE, and Musketeer Advantage, White's XLT and DFX, as well as the Garrett GTI 2500 with the depth multiplier. I just wanted to know from the pro's not someone trying to sell there most expensive detectors. (a little more reasonable but i'll still be hoping next year most likely) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azdigger Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 GMT and stock coil...........do a search forthe GMT on here and se wha is said about this machine. Seems to be a favorite...found my first meteorite with one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaimi Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Aloha, Yes!! The GMT seems to be a pretty good favorite of most of my friends. Great for gold and meteorites alike. Once you get used to the stock coil, then you can move on to the Goldmax Sierra Coil. Once you get the honker coil definitely go back to your old hunting grounds for the deep ones. At one point I was going to get the new TDI coil but founf that since I am doing so great with the GMT why would I want to start all over having to "re-tune my ears". Aloha and have a Mele Kalikimaka and a Hauoli Makahiki Hou. Stan aka Kaimi BTW, if Santa is reading this: I could always use a second GMT as a backup! :innocent0009: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean (N.M.) Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 GMT has worked very well for us with the stock coil. I have replaced my first coil which developed a hair line crack on the side. Whites replaced it for free and very quickly as well. Check out this photo of our GMT. Good luck! Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayray Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Dean, nice pic of the "siderite" (the meteorite and Z-man). I wish I was a bit closer and knew some land owners there at the Glorietta field. Jason :;): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regmaglitch Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Yo New Guy, I found my first meteorites with a White's GMT, and my son Erik has found A BUNCH of them with that same machine. Check it out. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freelancer79d Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 What about the Gold Bug 2? I heard that it is just as good as the GMT if not better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
