    Back to the.... ATX

    Cables ok so far! But super careful with it. I have a few spare coils from my old machines in various states of repair as backups. Atx is just simple - and works well under water. Still keen to pickup the small infinium DD coils just in case.

    Back to the.... ATX

    Here are hunts 5 and 6 - well the gold from those hunts anyway. Underwater cut is starting to close but managed to sneak these out with small “high lows” Hunts 5 and 6 - two different locations, both in 2-3metres of water. Have found the best headphones for the atx (ditch the blue ones -...

    Back to the.... ATX

    Here’s the background - sorry for the incorrect chronological order! ** Hi guys - I owned one of the first ATX units (actually 2 of them) and suffered from the coil cable issues. Despite that, these machines produced 100+ gold rings for me (in the space of 1 year). Garrett was awesome and...

    Back to the.... ATX

    And the next day.....after buying a “new to me” used ATX.....( had two of these before and moved to equinox / other machines) - now rekindling efforts —————- So it seems the “new for me” ATX gels with me well - probably the hundreds of hours with it back in 2014! Blessed with some more luck...

    Back to the.... ATX

    Ok, so, I don’t think I could have made this up if I tried! Decided to go for another water hunt today, ATX charged and not expecting a great deal as has been ‘slim pickings’ lately - especially with the CTX / Nox / Excal. Found a spot in the water, I have walked over hundreds of times in the...

    Driving the Xcal Piezo speakers from standard source - HELP?

    I picked up an Equinox 800 to test and it seems pretty decent. Wanting to try it in the water, and have some spare XCal headphones. I can make the right plug to fit, uses a 3.5 stereo jack. I am assuming the equinox is setup to drive standard headphones. To drive the piezoelectric...

    8 inch mono disection!

    Hi Guys I had a faulty 8 inch mono coil - it looked 'perfect' but constantly falses. Cutting the coil wiring, and rewiring made zero difference....so, decided to dissect the coil! Well, actually using a hammer! It turns out the coil really cannot be 'repaired'. Seems there are two...

    Had two of these machines, fantastic in the right conditions. But due to limited use nowadays just sold one machine online (the modified xcals get tons of use).. I do wish this ATX electronic package was in a lighter configuration and are contemplating removing the entire green housing and...
