    A problem - and Suggestions

    Hi Guys.... I have been using the ATX with the smaller coil (8 inch mono) a lot - however, as the beach seems to be getting 'cleaner' decided to switch back the standard DD coil. My hunt last week was a total flop, and I just got annoyed with the machine which is unusual, as it has served me...

    threshold level for water hunting

    Hi guys....For those of you using the blue garrett headphones. Can you only hear the threshold from 7 /7.5. Below not at all? If so...how do you hunt - with the threshold a constant hum at 7....or dead quiet set below 7?? These are certainly much louder than the greyghost amphibians! I...

    8 Inch Mono

    HI guys...After the awesome hunt the other day with the 8 inch mono went back to the same spot with the stock coil. The conditions had changed terribly - and I wished almost immediately for the smaller coil. It is much easier and somewhat faster in the water. I do think the larger coil is...

    General feedback on Garrett / Warranty

    Hi Guys just wanted to let you know that the experience I have with Garrett for some issues with the ATX has been outstanding. They have been very helpful in resolving the issues with my machine. Seems to be a company with very good warranty representation. Dale
