Wekk I pulled the trigger

choppadude · Dec 23, 2012

Bought a Garrett Grand Master Hunter model 11902 Off eBay for $132.50. Comes with a 4.5 super sniper, 8. crossfire supreme deep seeker as well as a 11.5 crossfire deep seeker coils and carrying bag as well as misc. digging tools.
Started out 30 years ago with a Garrett BFO unit and have owed a half dozen Whites 6000 DI's but this time had to go cheap and hope for the best.
I am mainly a coin shooter but am planning on doing some 1700's settlements that I have found in my area.
PLEASE tell me that I did not buy a piece of !!!!! Any opinions good or bad are welcome.

It should be comparable to the 6000Di but the machine runs on 6 c cells and will be harder on you. I owned the next step down and considered it to be acceptable if uninspired.

Anyhow, it will be tons better than no detector. And that is a pretty good price given everything that you are getting. You should ask questions about how to get the most out of it while you wait on it to arrive.

Got pics?

Ok I think this pic link will work. Not the best pic but its all I have.

As long as it works it's a good detector. The cost of batteries will eventually prompt you to upgrade I think.

Howdy, don't know about that particular unit, but sure sounds like a good deal. Get out there and try her out. Happy hunting! Looking forward to your finds.

Should be a decent detector , I have a garrett cx 2 I was using it some last year . As others said c batteries are $ & it's notch discrimination doesn't compare to more modern detectors . It should give you decent depth .
Good luck

Anyone know if this will accept a rechargeable battery pack and if so, where I can get one. Have not had much luck with online searches regarding this.

You might contact garrett they may be able to help you , I know they still have some accessory parts for the cx series .
