    The Minelab GPX 5000 does not find everything

    Apparently there is a lot if misinformation out there about metal detectors and how they perform in the field. I am offering this to try and and clear up some possible misconceptions. No detector finds all the gold that the coil goes over. I repeat, no metal detector finds all the gold that...

    Alan Mash - Should GPX 5000 Owners Ditch Them for an ATX?

    Hi Alan, You have accused me of not answering your questions. I have one for you. Should GPX 5000 owners sell their GPX 5000 detectors and "upgrade" to an ATX? If not, why not? There has been a pretty clear upgrade path over the years. I have upgraded to each new Minelab PI as it came out...

    New Minelab Waterproof PI

    I have always wondered why Minelab does not make a waterproof PI. Everyone else does. Is it they figure the Excalibur is good enough, why bother? Still, since they make what many consider to be the world's most powerful prospecting PI detectors it does seem odd, at least to me. So I really...

    Gold Nugget Detecting with the New Garrett ATX Waterproof PI

    OK folks, here you go. I have spent about two days of nugget detecting with the new Garrett ATX metal detector over the course of three actual days at three different locations. I learned a lot about the detector, and did actually find some gold with it, no small feat for this prospector from...

    Garrett ATX Weight

    One of the first things that struck me when I picked up the ATX is the weight. I have a TDI and it weighs 5.3 lbs. the ATX supposedly weighs 5.5 lbs but in my hands it sure felt like more. I tried weighing it on bathroom scales but did not trust the accuracy of the results enough to post them. I...

    My First Gold Ring with Garrett ATX

    Hi, I have been using a new Garrett ATX a few days now and did a big write up on it at http://www.findmall.com/read.php?96,1983695 As part of that I went wading at Lake Tahoe testing how the detector handles black sands and hot rocks. No issues at all to report there, the ATX just ground...

    Preliminary Impressions of the Garrett ATX

    Hello, I have now used the new Garrett ATX metal detector for a few days in several different locations. This post contains some of my preliminary thoughts and impressions of the detector. I have been metal detecting since 1972. From 1976 to 2010 I was an owner of one of the larger multiline...

    Scuff Covers for the Garrett ATX

    From page 27 of the Owners Manual at http://www.garrett.com/hobbysite/hbby-manuals/1534000_atx_manual_rev_a.pdf : "Coil covers: Use a coil cover to protect the coil from abrasion and damage and prevent false responses that may occur when the coil abruptly impacts a rigid object such as a large...

    Anyone here getting an ATX?

    I was an early Infinium fan and have done well with it. But as my article at http://www.detectorprospector.com/steves-mining-journal/garrett-infinium-kaui-hawaii-gold-jewely.htm notes the unit made me a bit crazy with salt water instability. It seemed like I was always fighting the Infinium and...

    No GPX 5500?

    Well, I am starting to think that after many years of tweaking and refining we have seen the end of the SD/GP/GPX platform. The GPX 5000 is a superb metal detector, with little to improve except the discrimination. And that is far harder to do than people think. This particular platform and...
