    Faulty Infinium???

    Hi, I bought an Infinium in Dec 2011 & have only used it for about 20 hrs. This is because I live 400kms from the beach & I have other detectors for inland use. Back to the point at hand - I have recently noticed that when I turn the detector on, I get the 4 battery beeps OK. Sometimes when I...

    The how & why it happened to my AT Pro/Gold.

    Thanks everyone for your "condolences," suggestions & criticisms of my handling of my AT Pro & AT Gold detectors. I'm posting this message so that other people may be aware of what can happen, how it may be prevented & the possible cause of the problem. Some of you already know this, but if it...

    A word of warning.

    Last year I buried 3 of my best friends - each died about 3 months apart. I hope & pray that this year will be better, but... late last year I posted a blog warning people about the fragility of the Garrett AT Pros & the AT Gold detectors. I had just leant my wife's detector on the front of my...

    AT Pro - my end is near!

    Yesterday I decided to spend some time in the bush & do a couple of experiments with the Wife's AT Pro & my AT Gold. The aim was a comparison on the depth using a 2 gram piece of lead. I rested the AT Pro against the car & started with the AT Gold. A few minutes into the test, a slight breeze...

    Your thoughts on the smaller DD coils please.

    My setup at the moment consist of an 8inch mono on the Infinium. I have found this setup grossly inadequate for finding small gold.IE: anything less than 1 gram that is buried less than 1 inch. It has no problem detecting a .22 bullet at 4 inches but any deeper - forget it. I recently tested it...

    Proformance coils?

    Hi, can anyone please explain what a "Proformance" coil is? Are they Mono, DD or just a brand of coil? Are they better or as good as the STD coils on my AT Gold & AT Pro? Please excuse my ignorance. Thanks, JA.

    Please help - frequency adjust 4 Infinium.

    Hi, Yesterday I took the Infinium into the gold fields - for the first time, where I really wanted to get a fair & honest assessment of the beast. I had the 8" Mono coil on it. I have read nearly every article published on the Infinium but when I arrived at the area yesterday, I was having one...

    Expecting too much or a dud?

    I recently went out & buried a 1.5gram piece of lead fishing sinker at a depth of 3 inches in fairly quiet soil. The purpose was to test my wife's AT Pro & my AT Gold with a variety of coils. This is not a test to compare detectors, just to test the coils on the same target at different depths...

    Infinium Ground Tracking.

    Here's how I understand it - can someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Please forgive me for using a Minelab detector as an analogy - this is not a comparison between the machines but I also use a minelab & find it easier for this post. Thanks. This query relates to the Slow, Lock & Fast...

    Opinions on the Gold Hog Highbanker needed.

    Hi, I'm thinking of purchasing the Gold Hog Highbanker - dredge unit. Has anyone had anything to do with these units & if so, what are your thoughts on the them? The videos on Youtube look impressive but people who have actually used a unit can offer more valuable info before I spend $1800 plus...

    Love the AT Gold but...

    I live in Central NSW - Australia. Yesterday I drove the 400kms to our closest beach for Christmas. This morning at 0400hrs, I grabbed the AT Gold & headed for the beach. It was still an hour & a half before sunrise - the first day after the world was supposed to end. For a while I thought I was...

    Are they interchaneable & waterproof?

    Hi, I recently purchased an AT Gold. Can someone please let me know if ALL the Garrett AT Pro coils are compatible with the AT Gold? I noticed that the AT Gold operates around the 18khz frequency wheras the AT Pro operates around the 15khz frequency. Also, are the 4.5 inch sniper coils...

    Is it only me or can you do it too - what is it?

    Hi, I recently put a 4inch super sniper coil on my AT Pro & AT Gold - no problems there as they both pick up gold less than pinhead size. The problem started however when I received a reading in some sand. I isolated the target down to a tablespoon size scoop of sand. When I picked this sand up...
