New to me GP3500

Just picked this up for a great deal. Know very little about it but gets real old watching the guys with the PI machines digging buttons and bullets at 12" + while I dig nails at 2".
I have less that 2 months to learn this thing before my next trip south.

Good luck, let us know your thought on the machine.

That's awesome! I've been looking around also, but I'm not sure I'm ready to drop that kind of money on a GPX. I may have to go the GP route as well. My buddy just got a GP Extreme and is learning to use it. Glad you found a good deal. Happy digging!

The GP3500 is still highly regarded down here in Australia. The last of the true analogue PI gold detectors. They are maybe a bit more prone to EMI than the newer models so the mono coils can be a bit noisy in urban areas.
Tune it in regularly (noise cancel) and maybe hook up a DD coil if EMI is a problem. Lovely audio and packs a punch for sure.
I'm sure it will serve you well.
HH,
Tony
