Call it beginner's luck, but young Garrett B. calls it the find of a lifetime. New to
the hobby of treasure-hunting, this Arizona youth recently joined his grandfather Jim in a search for gold. As fate would
have it, he found his first gold on that hunt. The metal detector he was using was - appropriately enough - a Garrett ACE 250.

I thought I'd let you folks see what I have done in my first 10 months in the hobby using an ACE 250.
Even though by most people's standards I am still in the "beginner" phase of this hobby, I pretty much attacked it as I do all things
I am passionate about.

It has very impressive depth and functionality for the price that more than rivals some
of the more expensive machines on the market. Since owning my Ace, I have managed over A$4000 in change, 12 gold rings (one of
which is a diamond ring valued at A$8000), 11 silver rings...

This is a very sophisticated gold detector. Although simple to operate, I am often amazed at the
depth achieved by this detector. No heavy batteries and harness and power leads to put on and connect make this detector
a pleasure to use when prospecting new areas. I can be out of my vehicle and checking a new area in a matter of seconds.

I've been hunting about 37 years and I recently went to a field where an open hunt was
held about 8 years ago. I've hunted the site with one of your competitor's metal detectors, a $900 unit, and only found several
dimes, so I figured the field was about hunted out.

About two weeks after purchasing the ACE 250, I headed to the beach to hunt. Not
long after, I got a signal that hit just below the nickel slot, so I decided to dig. In the second trowel of sand, out
falls a white ring! Later that week, I took it to a jeweler and they appraised it between...

Using our Garrett GTI 2500s over the past 18 months, we have uncovered literally thousands of coins
and other treasures in the Rocky Mountains of Montana. Searching forgotten ghost towns, mining camps, and old parks in
the Anaconda area, our collection of artifacts and local memorabilia includes: an 1851 cavalry belt plate, an 1894 political pin
proclaiming Anaconda as the capital of Montana, coins dating back to 1859

“Unbelievable is the only way to describe my recent treasure hunting adventure in the
UK with my GTI 2500. It wasn’t long after starting our search that I found a full Celtic Gold Stater of
Addedemaras, Celtic Chief in approximately 30-15 BC. Fate was again kind to me and I retrieved another from only about
4-5 inches down, the GTI 2500 locked on perfectly!

“It was more than four inches deep,” he said. In such a rural
area, “I knew it was probably something of interest.” Joe dug up an 1847 half dime, likely lost in that
field in the 19th century when an old Texas community was once located on the site.

While her mom was registering her at school, my daughter Kayleigh and I took her Garrett ACE 150
to have a look at the woodchips in the playground area. I was swinging on the swing and Kayleigh came walking over to me with a big
smile. She handed me a ring. At first, I thought it was a kid's play ring but it said 10K on the inside and had a diamond chip in it!!

I haven't used it in areas that could yield more lucrative finds, but based on the
immediate success I've had with lost change in my yard, you can bet I'll be putting the ACE 150 to better use. I haven't given up on
finding that buried pirate treasure of my childhood dreams. And even if I never find it, I'll have fun looking for
it with my ACE 150.

“These are some of the Civil War grape shots, also called cannister fill,
that I’ve recovered over several weeks at a spot in Georgia. I was able to pinpoint each one with my Garrett 2500.”

Georgia Gold Unearthed With GTI 2500 “To make this story short, I found
this nugget in a creek near the edge of the embankment at an old gold mine. It was at about five inches down on the
bedrock. I was using the stock 9.5” coil and it read at number 6 on the GTA scale. Usually I find many bullets at
this mine and they usually read at number 7.”

Found the necklace at about 5pm. I also found $2.71, three junk earrings and a
junk toe ring. Water is getting cool so on my next trip I will have on my wet suit. I took the necklace to the jeweler
and he put a low ball price because he did not have time to count all the diamonds so he said?

In the next couple of weeks I hunted at an old house and a local swimming hole.
In all I found over one hundred coins some more rings and other metal items. Just last Sunday morning I hunted for 2
hours and found 20 coins and three rings. One of which was silver with the center stone missing. I am very pleased
with Garret's GTI 1500. I am having more success that I thought possible.

GTI 1500 Finds 14K gold ring with 7 small diamonds! I finally got around to taking
pictures of my finds with the new Garrett 1500 you suggested a couple of months ago. The 1500’s imaging feature is
unbelievably accurate. I started by going to an area that I had hunted out with my previous Garrett 450. With in 5 minutes
I had recovered a Susan Anthony dollar, a quarter, and a couple of dimes. Then I started a real field test by putting it
on "all metal mode" and imaging every target to identify what it was and the depth. I was astonished!

FBI Trains with Garrett GTI 2500 - Calls KELLYCO First! I have provided crime scene metal detection training
for the FBI on several occasions in the past. The supervising agent for the ERT asked for my recommendation regarding the
purchase of metal detectors for the 32 member unit. I suggested the Garrett GTI 2500 Pro Package. I further recommended
that the bureau contact KELLYCO which they did and subsequently purchased (2) GTI 2500 units.

When my first signal said it was a half dollar I was certain it would be a chunk
of aluminum can or something similiar. To my surprise it was two quarters a 51 and a 64 stuck together at
5 inches deep! I rescanned the hole and there wasn't anything else except about 6 inches from the plug I dug a 4
inch round iron ring! I can only speculate thats what kept me from detecting these quarters on earlier outings.
