NO
I had the GTAx 500.
Man! It was so old, I had to rebuild the battery harness with
Radio Shack parts.
It worked, but it would not detect a woman's gold ring 1/2 inch
from the coil.
It would air test good on coins, but I never found a coin in the
ground very deep with it.
I was so disappointed!!!
I qutit using it and used my Bounty Hunter until I found Tesoro
uMax light weight detectors.
Now all I have is 5 Tesoro uMaxes.
Happy Huntin,

Tesoro is nice, but they have no display and most
only have a single tone.
It is a great way to hunt, but it drives a lot of folks
nuts not knowing the basics.
The Garrett Ace 250 is the most successful starter
machine.

TabDog gives great advice.... and has the track record of finds to prove it. I agree... the 250 seems to be a great starter machine.... HH RickO

I used to hunt with a gent that used a 400. He did very well with it somedays much better then me with finds. I would see if you can test run it first before you buy.
If I recall the 400 had a closed loop coil so it is a little hader to pinpoint with.
Nothing wrong with the tesoro though. I do love mine.
