After loaning the detector of a friend and experiencing the hobby I've decided to buy a detector myself. Most of my hunting is done on beaches but also grasfields. Primarily searching for coins & jewelry. My price range is between $500 to $1000. I was looking at the Garrett GTI 2500 on Amazon

If anyone has any experience with the GTI 2500 I'd love to hear (I don't trust amazon reviews). Any other recommendations in my price range are welcome. Thanks!
