TO THE OWNER
Congratulations! As the proud owner of the Garrett
GTP 1350 you have joined an international family
of treasure hunters. Men, women and children alike
have used their Garrett detectors to find coins, relics
and gold nuggets that are valued in the millions of
dollars. To get the most out your GTP 1350 and
treasure hunting experiences be sure to carefully
read through this Owner’s Manual!
Your GTP 1350 is the first of its class to offer size
information that will enable you to know more about
your target before you dig. With its exciting profiling
technology, you can know the size (Small, Medium,
Large) of a target before you dig. And when coupled
with Garrett’s highly acclaimed PROformance
searchcoils, you search deeper and cover more
ground per sweep than with traditional searchcoils.
YourGTP1350isalsoengineeredwithDSPenhanced

leading team of engineers. It is unparalleled in its
ability to locate coins, jewelry and other metallic
objects at greater depths than any other metal
detector in its class. With Garrett’s revolutionary
Graphic Target Analyzer (GTA) display that offers
target acceptance/rejection, precise discrimination
and other key information, you can spend more time
digging treasure and less time digging trash.
As the one of the world’s most intelligent detectors,
the GTP 1350 is factory preset to begin operation
in the COINS mode. Simply press the POWER
touchpad on your new GTP 1350 and immediately
begin hunting without the troublesome interference
from typical trash items or ground minerals. Of
course, you can easily adjust the detector to operate
in other hunting modes.
Again, welcome to the Garrett treasure hunting
family. In becoming a part of this great tradition and
hobby, you have made the right start to successful
treasure hunting.

COINS MODE—Designed to eliminate detection
of lower conductivity trash targets such as
iron, bottle caps, most pull tabs and other objects
normally encountered in coin hunting. Some bent
pull tabs and pieces of tabs may not be eliminated
from detection. Some digging of junk targets is to
be expected on occasion.
JEWELRY MODE—Designed to eliminate trash
targets such as lower conductivity items and
bottle caps, while still detecting jewelry.
RELICS MODE—Designed to eliminate trash
targets normally associated with relic hunting,
while retaining good targets in the lower
conductivity range.
ZERO MODE—Designed to hunt with no
discrimination and alert the operator of every
metal target.
CUSTOM MODE—A Discrimination Mode that is
programmed solely by the operator. The GTP

All tones have the same standard
pitch. Tone duration changes with
the strength of the target signal
(e.g. the stronger the target
signal, the longer the duration).
Tone ID OFF/Profiling OFF
The tone duration changes, but
the pitch remains the same (e.g.
a small target produces a quick,
standard tone; a medium target
produces a medium, standard
tone; a large target produces a
long standard tone).
Tone ID OFF/Profiling ON
The tone of the detector changes
to indicate the conductivity of
the target (e.g. low conductivity
produces a low tone; medium

Modifications made to the Lower Discrimination scale in
the CUSTOM Mode will be retained when the detector is
turned OFF, until manually changed by the operator or
until the detector is returned to the factory default settings
by pressing and holding the POWER touchpad. Any
changes made to Discrimination settings while hunting in
all other MODES will be lost when the detector is turned
OFF and will return to the factory default settings.
Discrimination settings can also be modified quickly
when an unwanted target is located while hunting. When
an unwanted target is discovered, press the ACCEPT /
REJECT touchpad to create a Notch (delete the cursor)
for that specific target.
You may want to customize your Discrimination settings
when you are looking for a specific item, a lost earring
for example. You can use the matching earring to
set notches on your GTP 1350 to accept only that
target. Hunting in an area where a specific type of
trash is abundant may be another reason to customize
your Notch Discrimination settings. You can reject the
specific type of trash and continue to hunt with no other
discrimination, detecting all other metal.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Lower the searchcoil to a level approximately one
(1) inch above the ground.
2. Press the POWER touchpad, two (2) beeps
will sound to indicate the GTP 1350 is ON. Each
time the 1350 is turned on, it returns to the most
recent settings it was programmed to use, with
the exception of modifications made to the Notch
Discrimination settings in the pre-programmed
Modes. (See ACCEPT / REJECT on page 19 for
additional information.)
The GTP 1350 is engineered with Automatic Ground
Balance technology to continuously measure ground
mineralization and automatically adjust itself for
optimum performance.
3. Begin scanning by moving the searchcoil from
side to side in front of you, in either a straight line
or a slight arc pattern. Keep the coil level and at a
constant height of about one (1) to two (2) inches
™
ꢀꢁ
Graphic Target Profiling 1350
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
above the ground. Do not allow the searchcoil to
raise or tilt at the end of the swing, much like a “golf”
swing. This can significantly degrade detection
performance. Scan the searchcoil at a rate of about
two (2) to five (5) feet per second.
4. The GTP 1350 will produce an audio signal and
illuminate a Target ID cursor on the LCD screen
when metal is detected. The Target ID cursor
will appear directly below the Target ID Guide
to reference the probable identity of the target.
Highly mineralized soils can occasionally produce
improper Target ID readings. Raising the searchcoil
an inch or two as you scan over such soils can be
helpful. Remember to keep the searchcoil level and
at a constant height. Be aware that encrustation,
or patina, may also affect conductivity of a target
resulting in improper Target ID.
5. When a target is located, make two (2) or
three (3) repeated scans over it to determine its
approximate location.
26
Garrett Metal Detectors

6. Pinpoint the target to find its exact location. Place
the searchcoil on the ground near, but not directly
over the target’s suspected location. Then press and
hold the PINPOINT touchpad. While maintaining
contact with the ground, first scan the searchcoil left
to right then scan front to back (i.e. make an X) until
the loudest sound is produced, indicating the target
is directly beneath the center of the searchcoil.
In addition to the audio, the Upper Scale will also
indicate when you are directly over the target by
displaying the greatest signal strength, increasing
from left to right. Simultaneously, the Lower Scale
will indicate the depth (in inches) of a coin-sized
target. A target larger than a coin will indicate a
depth reading that is shallower than it actually is,
and visa versa for a target smaller than a coin. Note
that the Upper Scale will also blink the Target ID
cursor, only as a reminder, of the Target ID that was
last obtained prior to entering the Pinpoint Mode.
7. The PROFILING feature automatically activates
upon releasing the PINPOINT / PROFILING
touchpad after pinpointing the target. When the
™
ꢀꢂ
Graphic Target Profiling 1350
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
PROFILING feature is activated a target’s size
is indicated as Small, Medium or Large on the
Profiling display. Small targets include those which
are approximately 1.5 inches in diameter or less
(e.g. most U.S. coins). Medium targets range from
approximately 1.5 to 4 (four) inches in diameter (e.g.
silver dollar or flattened drink can.) Targets greater
than 4 (four) inches are classified as Large.
To obtain accurate size information, repeatedly
sweep the searchcoil side to side, 7 (seven) inches
past the center of the target in a smooth, continuous
motion. The full sweep motion should cover a total
of 14 inches (7 inches from each side of the target)
with the target being in the center. (See Figure 7).

IMPORTANT!
To achieve optimum results when Profiling:
•
•
Isolate and pinpoint the target (Press and
hold the PINPOINT touchpad) to determine its
exact location.
Make sure you are only detecting one target at
a time. Profiling multiple targets at the same
time may produce inaccurate results; if
necessary, scan the target from different
angles.
•
Release the PINPOINT button and repeatedly
swing the searchcoil from side to side (not
front to back) using a smooth, steady and
continuous motion to Profile the target. Be
sure to make a consistent sweep width
of 14 inches. The speed at which you swing
the coil can range from as slow as 1.2
seconds between consecutive beeps up to
as fast as 0.4 seconds between beeps. If the
target’s Profile (size) consistently displays
™
ꢀꢃ
Graphic Target Profiling 1350
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
smaller that actuality, then your Profiling
sweep width is too wide. Conversely, if the
target Profile displays larger than it actually is,
then your sweep width is too narrow. Maintain
a 14” sweep width to correct this error.
Some targets may fall on or near the boundary of
two sizes. In such cases, the PROFILING display
may change between sizes on successive sweeps
(i.e. a screw cap may read Small to Medium).
When Profiling a target, a distinctive “chirp” at the
beginning of each audible signal means that you’re
achieving a valid target profile. The audio’s duration
(short, medium or long) denotes the target’s size
(Small, Medium, Large). The target size will also be
shown on the Profiling display. Targets that are too
deep, or too small, to be profiled are indicated with
a short “blip” and a blank Profiling Display.

OVERLOAD AUDIO
Very large and / or close targets may cause the GTP
1350’s circuitry to overload, resulting in inaccurate
Target ID and Profiling information. If target overload
occurs, as indicated by a machine-gun sound, raise
the searchcoil a few inches until the overload audio
ceases.
COIN DEPTH MEASUREMENT
PinpointthetargetasmentionedinthePINPOINTING
section. While still pressing the PINPOINT touchpad,
check the Lower Scale to determine the coin-depth
in inches. You will notice that coin-depth always
indicates the shallowest (most accurate) reading
and will not be overwritten by subsequent off-center
scans.

however, respond with a signal that is not as clear
or sharp as that of a coin signal. It is recommended
that before digging these “blips”, the region where
the Target ID cursor is illuminated on the Upper
Scale is verified. Often, a junk target has been found
when a Target ID cursor illuminates irregularly.
It is not unusual for a junk target, such as an
aluminum soft drink can to give an audio signal
indicating that a good target has been discovered
due to its conductivity. However, the Profiling
Display can aid in the identification of such targets
before you dig.
Rusty iron targets may cause jumpy or non-
repeatable ID readings.

FIELD OPERATIONS
As you walk, scan the searchcoil from side to side
in a straight line or slight arc pattern. Keep the coil
level and at a constant height of one or two inches
above the ground while you scan at the rate of two
to five feet per second.
When scanning, do not hurry. Be methodical.
Overlap each scan sweep at least 25 percent of
the searchcoil’s width. Wear headphones to avoid
ambient noises and to concentrate on scanning.
When you are searching in the ZERO Discrimination
Mode, every metallic target will produce an audible
sound.

TEST PLOT CONSTRUCTION
Your own test plot section will enable you to increase
your treasure hunting proficiency. Create a test plot
by burying several items at varying depths of one
(1) to six (6) inches about 18 inches apart. Include
coins, rings, nails, foil, pull tabs and bottle caps.
Bury larger items, such as a 12 ounce soda can,
approximately ten (10) inches deep. Clearly mark
where each article is buried and its depth. Scan over
them while carefully studying the detection signals.
Newly buried objects, especially coins, will be
more difficult to detect than items buried over time.
Experiment with various detection modes and pay
close attention to audio, Target ID and Profiling
signals as you scan.

BENCH TESTING
Bench testing enables you to test typical trash items
and learn about the discrimination capabilities of the
GTP 1350 before taking it into the field or attempting
to alter the Discrimination settings. The following
tests should be performed as shown below with the
searchcoil perpendicular to a bench, floor or other
non metallic object.
1. Select the ZERO Discrimination Mode.
2. Pass various metallic objects across the
bottom of the searchcoil at a distance of about
two inches. Each target will cause the sound
to increase, which represents true,
non-discriminating operation.
3. Select the COINS Mode.
4. Press the OPERATE touchpad
5. Pass the same metallic targets (as used in 2)
across the bottom of the searchcoil and listen
™

for the sound to increase only when certain
items are scanned. Notice the specific
segments on the Upper Scale of the display
that are highlighted when various targets are
passed across the searchcoil.
6. Perform the same tests in the JEWELRY Mode
and observe the sounds produced.
7. Experiment with the ACCEPT / REJECT
touchpad. Notice which of the 24 segments
are illuminated as you identify various
targets.
8. Keep written records of the results and use
them when hunting in the field. Remember that
your detector is a sensitive electronic
instrument, but is engineered to withstand
rugged treatment in the outdoors. Use your
detector to the fullest extent, but always
protect and handle it with reasonable care.

BATTERIES
The GTP 1350 requires eight (8) AA batteries
(included), which are contained in two battery
compartments that hold 4 (four) batteries each.
These holders slide into the Battery Pack beneath
the Arm Rest assembly. When replacing batteries,
ensure they are installed correctly and the holders
are inserted into the case with the rivet at the
bottom of the holder towards the center of the case.
Failure to install the batteries correctly may result in
electronic damage to the detector.
The condition of the batteries is continuously
displayed on the LCD display while the detector is
turned on. Five (5) or four (4) bars on the battery
scale (located on the LCD screen) indicate the
batteries are very good; three (3) bars indicate the
batteries are good; two (2) bars and the batteries are
adequate; one (1) single bar indicates the batteries
need to be replaced. Batteries should be replaced
or recharged when there is only one segment
illuminated. Internal circuitry ensures the detector’s
operation and performance are not affected by
battery condition, until batteries are drained.
™

The GTP 1350 is engineered with a battery saving
feature. If no touchpads are pressed within 30 minutes of
being turned ON, the detector automatically turns OFF in
order to minimize battery use due to accidental turn ON.
Simply press the POWER touchpad to resume hunting.
The GTP 1350 does not come with an on-board battery
recharge function.
Completely remove all batteries from the detector when
stored for extended periods.
Replace or remove batteries by following these
instructions:
1. Turn the GTP 1350 OFF by pressing the POWER
touchpad.
2. Slide the battery case back slightly from its normal
position beneath the Arm Rest. Place both thumbs
on the lower sides of the cuff with your fingers on
the front of the case. Firm pressure will then
disengage the case from below the Arm Rest and
allow it to slide backward.
3. Slip the two covers on the battery panel up and
remove them completely.
38

4. Slide out the two battery holders (which are
not connected by the wire) by tilting the pack.
Each of the holders contains four AA
batteries.
5. Remove the old batteries.
6. Install new batteries. Carefully observe the
polarity of the batteries and place them in the
holders.
7. Replace the battery holders in the GTP 1350.
Ensure the rivet on each side of the battery
holder is visible in the center of the battery
case. If the holders are replaced incorrectly, it
will be difficult to install the battery covers.
8. Press down and firmly slide each battery
cover into place.
CAUTION!
Use high quality rechargeable (NiCad, NiMH),
carbon, alkaline or heavy duty batteries.

HEADPHONEꢀJACK
The headphone jack is located at the rear of the
battery pack under the armrest. Headphones are a
valuable accessory of any metal detector to mask
interference from outside noise. They permit you to
hear small and deep targets that might be missed
when using only audio from the detector speaker.
Headphones are particularly essential when hunting
where noise of people and/or traffic is excessive.
BATTERYꢀPACKꢀHIPꢀMOUNTꢀOPTION
Hip mount adaptability is built into the GTP 1350.
The purchase of an optional conversion kit is
not necessary. Since no extension cable cord is
required, you never have to worry about winding it
around the detector’s stem or carrying it with you.
When you slip the hip mount battery pack off and
attach it to your belt with the built in clip, you reduce
the weight of your detector by almost a pound. The
cable cord is conveniently coiled to prevent tangling.
When you use this hip mount feature, the GTP 1350
weighs less than 2 3/4 pounds. All controls are still

easily accessible and your GTP 1350 display is
visible on the control stem of the detector.
The removable hip mount pack and built-in coiled
cable permit easy reassembly of carrying and
storage. When reassembling, be sure the cable
slides into its tube and is not pinched between the
arm rest and the battery compartment.
SEARCHCOILS
Garrett takes pride in offering you a wide selection
of searchoils and accessories that enable you to
personalize your detector for the way you like to
hunt treasure.
The GTP 1350 comes with the 7x10” Elliptical
searchcoil and is suitable for general hunting
purposes. Additional coils include:
• 10x14” DD
• 9” x 12” PROformance
• 4.5” Crossfire II
When changing searchcoils, be sure to hand-tighten
the knobs only. Do not use tools of any kind.

MAINTENANCE
Avoid extreme temperatures as much as possible,
such as storing the detector in an automobile during
hot summer months or in freezing weather.
Clean your detector frequently. Wipe the housing
after use and wash the coil with warm, soap water
when necessary. Protect your instrument from dust
and sand as much as possible.
Your searchcoil is submersible; however, the control
housing is not! NEVER submerge the control
housing in water and ALWAYS protect it from heavy
mist, rain or blowing surf.
Disassemble the stem and clean it after use in
sandy areas.
When storing longer than one month, remove
batteries from the detector.
