Took the ATX for a freshwater lake hunt and found many deep targets in the swimming area where the water level is low still, but one target turned out to be a 14K woman's ring at about 10". The ATX just keeps impressing me every time I take it for a hunt. I also found alot of pull tabs and can slaw and some deep rusty iron pieces but it was worth it. I have hunted this spot many many times with many different machines. I thought it was pretty hunted out, but the ATX is finding what the others have missed. This is going to be a fun year using the ATX.

That's a very nice ring and good depth on that one. There will be a lot more gold in that swimming area. You're now working a new layer that other machines do not get down to. I've found that if you move the coil very slowly you can get down to that old gold and silver coins. When your swimming hole has 10" or more of sand, the ATX has an edge over other machines.

Thanks,

This particular swimming hole has sand down to 15" at spots. I've dug around just to check.
And in some freshwater river spots I hunt, I've noticed 6"-7" of sand followed by some small gravel followed by 6"-10" of sand starting again below it.
 
When you find a spot that has 15" of soft sand, max the sensitivity and switch to non-motion mode. You'll have to retune manually but non-motion will give you that extra depth where you need it. Gold will always work it's way down until it reaches a hard layer. You have a great machine for locations like this.
 
That is so cool! Both you and Denny are finding nice pieces of gold jewelry!

Congratulations Darryl!
