Minelab GP 3500 comes in second.
Not paid to lie no more..Free at last.. in WA and Vic gold fields all over -
I have been putting the Infinium and GP3500 to the test for 6 months now. In the WA gold fields.
Finding a small signal with the GP then changing to the Infinium to see the difference and via versa. So far everything the SD hears so does the Infinium. I run the GP on noisy ground adjusted the sensitivity on both detectors to smooth the thresh hold. And the Infinium gets the targets where the GP fails.
I dig every weak signal and all ways have. I been checking the Discrimination on both. The GP is useless. But the Infinium works to the weakest signal. Very impressive.
I been a minelab lover from the day minelab started. I have all their detectors.
Both detector cost about the same moneys to manufacture. So what are you going to about that Minelab. You must of predicted this would happen one day. Why not do your normal tricks. Go steal this Discriminator.

Best All-Around Detector! Can't Touch This!
CaboChris in Sequim, WA USA -If I had to choose and detect with 1 detector for the rest of my life, I would choose the Infinium! 2nd would be the Tesoro Tiger Shark and 3rd the Fisher CZ 20. As a pulse detector the Infinium beats the other 2 vlfs, because it can handle ground conditions better. With an Infinium one can hunt for gold nuggets one day and then jewelry in the ocean the next and then relics in the fields and so on... All of this rain or shine!
The Infinium can be chest or hip mounted. I prefer the chest mount and utilize Fishers wonderful chest mount harness, with the supplied Infinium hip pouch. OK, so the Infinium might not find tiny gold nuggets and thin chains. Who cares? I don't! When I prospect I am not looking for nuggets a tweezer is needed to handle! In the sea I am looking for gold and platinum rings with stones! Yes the Infinium can be noisy. Just turn the sensitivity down (discrimination up a bit). And yes, the discrimination is not as precise as a good vlf. But it is good enough and forces the treasure hunter to dig more targets, thus find more good stuff!
So far my favorite coil is the 14" Mono. It seems more sensitive and is lighter than the 14"DD. Yes the lower rod wobbles a bit- but so what?
The Infinium is for an adventurer, who seeks treasure of value and wants to be prepared for every type of treasure that comes their way. Yes it must be swept a bit slower. And yes you must learn it and experiment with reverse discrimination. After you do, you will realize that the Infinium is a detector for the professional and will reach for it first!
My only wishes are that larger coils were available for the Infinium. 18, 24 inch. Also an open center 10-12" and factory 1/4" headphone jack adaptor, so aftermarket phones can be used. Also coil covers for all the coils! If you want a coin machine buy one.
If you want a treasure hunting machine that is built like a tank, get an Infinium- then read everything about it you can and learn it. My Infinium makes me dream of far away places, romance, treasure and adventure! Garrett put it best- "If you prefer the road less traveled, far removed from the concrete jungles of civillization where man is but a mere guest of nature, the Infinium LS is the detector for you"...
P.S. If I could have only 2 metal detectors to hunt the world with, they would be the Infinium and the Whites MXT with several coils! Good Hunting, CC.

Don R. Stephenson in USA -I think Garret Metal Detectors are the TOP brand on the market today. I have been using a Metal Detector for the last 20 years and have owned several differnt kinds.
