Garrett GTAx 400

Worth the Money - Great Finds

Mark in Yuba City, Ca. -
Used this machine and have found much. The "One-Touch" design makes it easy to use and understand. The total layout of the unit is ROCK SOLID and can take much more than most detectors in terms of use and abuse(kids). ...you talk about EXCITED children when they find a treasure!!!

I replaced a Bounty Hunter with it and have been rewarded VERY well by the move. If you can get your hands on one, give it a swing and get you digging tools ready, you WILL NEED THEM!!!

gtax 400 new guy

todd bregon in pittsburgh -
I bought this one with only touching one other metal detector in my life,I only have 13 hours of hunting total and it was with the 400... my uncle who I have went with me, has found the lost arc well lets just say he knows his stuff,(he thinks that it is a verry good machine )but me personaly I have alot to learn, I spend more time digging pulltabs than hunting, I have lots of fun though. Learn your machine and im sure you will find what you are looking for.

Fantastic

Confederate bounty hunter in Michigan -
I have a garrett 400 and a 1000 the 400 in parks you cannot beat it I take it with me in the rv. If its there you will find it does take practice to learn but for the money its one of the best machines out there.

Great price and performance

Craig in Australia -
I have tested this against my trusty Minelab GT Sovreign which has a sunray 12 coil on it, it is a great unit, I was very surprised to see it is within an inche or so of the GT, I tested in the back yard and found a piece of lead at 8" very clearly.
I then buried a 2 dollar coin at the 8", it was getting to it max but it still found it and it only has a 8" coil, the GT picked it up a little higher.
Its a great turn on and go unit, the discrimination works very well.
I don't like the tone audio as its just there to here a faint signal that the lcd may not show up.
For the price you cannot go wrong.
I have tested the following units
Minelab.
all sovreign models.
Garrett
GTI 2500.
Infinium.
I still prefer the minelab as the varible audio works great for me and I can flick a switch to cancel iron.
The GTA400 just shows it on thew lcd.
2 thumbs up as its a great priced unit.

Good detector

backlight in Milwaukie, OR -
This has been a very good entry level detector, generally very accurate on ID scale, and very easy to use. Great detector for the price.
