I finally got my unit in at 9pm this evening and I was so excited that I got it in and I couldn't wait so I throw on some shorts and got down to the beach and did some dry sand hunting for about a half an hour. The unit is really sensitive and was picking up all kinds of tiny targets. I only got one nickel and s penny but the nickel was really deep! I got two really small earrings that came in loud and clear. I was able to test the iron check and it grunted on the only two peaces of iron that I swung over... I also was able to play with the non motion mode but it drove me nuts and I am familiar with the infinium and the seahunter mark II but it was just really noisy even after returning, maybe I need to turn down the sensativity a little next time...
I am going to dunk it in the water tomorrow and I will report back... I know that this unit is more sensative than the infinium in the dry sand and I cant wait to see what it can do in water.

Those are nice pictures...but the most beautiful is the one of the ATX!
It looks so,....so SPACE AGE! It's beautiful. I wouldn't hang it on my
wall...but its really the best looking machine I have ever seen! And it's
not just a pretty face! From the Videos I have seen it is one heck of
a machine in the field.
GOOD FOR GARRETT!

I finally got a chance to get in the water with the unit... stayed about ankle deep to about waist deep at a beach that gets hunted by atleast 10 hunters a day so I figured that this beach would be perfect to to run the ATX. I have run my infinium at this beach many times but I only find fresh drops and not much old stuff, if im lucky then i will find 10 targets in a 3 hour hunt. I hunted for about an hour and managed to pull up a silver bracelet that was tarnish so I know that the other hunter just couldn't pick it up.
I can't mention the brand, as it might start a detector brand war. 
Actually, that photo was taken by a great fellow, "Pirate Frank" from the US, who several years back used to come to Alberta Canada to hunt with us at one of our popular lakes about 1 1/2 hours from Edmonton. He was a very special guy, in that he had a very bad back, couldn't work, yet in a pair of chest waders on and a water detector in his hands, he would turn into a "HULK" and hunt like crazy. After his hunts, he would always get a hand full of pocket change and throw it out in the water for a blessing to the next hunters.

I'm wondering if this would make a good main detector for the salt water beaches. I currently use a multifrequency (I like it a lot), and just picked up a pulse unit. Only been able to use the pulse once so far, gotta learn it. The ATX would have to be a monster compared to the others, for me to justify that entry price. But if it is that monster, then I'm gonna want one. Artie
Finally had chance to get to the coast today with the ATX. I'll preface this by saying my usual beach machine is the Sea Hunter MKII which I love using. First off the ATX was very easy to ground balance to the wet sand, where I spend most of my time. It ran flawlessly even in and out of the surf, very smooth transition, quiet and stable. My sensitivity was at 10 and threshold barely audible. Unlike the Sea Hunter the hi-lo, lo-hi tones were very helpful, plus it was very easy to tell the shallow from the deep targets, as well as small from large. I guess what I'm saying is there is a great amount of information from the machines sounds. As far as depth goes even with the sens. Only at 10 this machine really punches into the sand. I had no problem retrieving coins well past the 10" mark with great signals. I was able to find one ring (a junker) and what looked like a broken hoop earring. I found quite a few coins at impressive depths and the usual other odds and ends. We detected about 4 and a half hours with very little arm fatigue and I wasn't using the sling. The ATX seems to be balanced nicely. All in all it was a great first outing at the beach. Can't wait to get back out there.
