ATX Depth

On one of my videos I demonstarte the ATX hitting a nickle at 15" with room to spare with the stock DD coil. Not sure about the 20" though.

Here's a video I did testing the ATX on meteorites a couple weeks ago. At the end I tested a nickel at 10" in very hot soil, sounds loud and clear....

Dear
In my country, treasures are up to 1.5 meter depth. We want to buy one metal detector that it can reach to this depth (1.5-2 meter). If you can please do this test on ATX Garreett: a 10*10 cm cupper or Iron plate in maximum depth that this machine can detect it.
Very thanks

What are you looking for at 2 meters of depth?

Hi
We are looking for treasure in about 2 meter depth. Treasure such as 200 gold coins in a urn (vat) with 2 kg weight.
Please help us about maximum depth of ATX Garrett for such as this objects.
Thanks

I'm not sure the ATX could pick anything up at 6 + feet. The only chance you'd have is possibly with the 20 inch coil and those haven't been released to most the owners yet.

What was the sensitivity you ran on the ATX for your test on the meteorites? I guess it was the same as you used on the other targets. As you might already know there is a lot of depth difference between 10 and 13 and some between 12 and 13.
Also, if you can run your GB2 in that ground ... I guessing it's not too hot to try the factory stock ground balance settings and get another meaningful gain in depth.
It may run a little too noisy....in which case you could do just a partial ground balance from the stock settings.
Thanks for the video!!
Cheers,
Tye

Hello Tye, the sensitivity was set at 13 or maximum for the test. I did try a partial ground balance but the ATX was too noisy and then sounds off on hot rocks. Proper ground balance in areas like this seem to be best. PI machines do not pick up chondrite meteorites as well as
V LF machines due to the nature of the dispersed metal in the chondrites. The ATX did very well on the irons. The GB2 can be noisy at Gold Basin due to the hot rocks but I have enough experience using it that I can usually tell the difference between hot rocks and meteorites or gold, the signal sound being more crisp and sharp on good targets. Fortunately most meteorites are on the surface and those that are buried are usually very shallow, so the ATX should find them. ....jim

The ones that I have seen that boast to go to that depth have been proven to be scams, just be careful. I would hate for you or anyone else being scammed.mohammadreza

Hi Joemac
You do not know any things about large treasures because there is not it in your country
My friend Lorenz X5, X6 and Z1 can detect a large metal in 2-3 meter depth but we search a cheaper and better one.
Good Luck

I would check out the Garrett GTI 2500 with the depth multiplier attachment to get that depth...it will do it.

6' is a pretty tall request from any metal detector mohammadreza.
I think the the type of "soil" these treasure stashes you mentioned are buried under, will determine what the overall performance ability will be for any VLF or PI machine. I think for myself looking for those type of treasure hoards, I would really want to at least "see" (or have a good idea) what's under that 6' before spending all that time digging it up.
Why the specific 6 foot mark though mohammadreza? The only thing I'm aware of that's buried at that depth are graves (at least over here where I live). Maybe the GTI 2500 that Bearkat mentioned would work as he has used that machine and I haven't and it does have a display of some kind to have some idea what's under the ground.
As for the ATX you asked about, I think it's to new on the market at this point to really see what it can do depth wise, The 20" coil is hard to get a hold of at the moment, but seems to be the one you would want to use to get the most depth from it.
I hope you find what your looking for either way.

Hi guys,
I have got a GTI 2500 with Treasure Hound coil.
Unfortunately I have not had a chance to test its maximum depth as yet (it takes a lot of digging), but perhaps this video I sourced on the net might give you some idea what you might expect.

ALI.D my friend,
Inside this metal detector is yellow also. It is better that we buy an original minelab.

Hey mohammadreza,
I'm on the same boat, I've been looking at the ATX for awhile, i am also looking for buried treasure that my great great grandpa hid, in a high mineralized soil where hot rocks are everywhere. Some people dnt understand that they didn't bury coins and gold bars a foot deep. There is a video of a Australian man who tested the 20" coil with lead but the 20" coil doesn't have the iron check feature.
I need to find a detector that can find gold deep and in an area wear its very high in mineralized soil.

The problem encountered in finding deep coin treasure hoards is that conventional metal detectors do not respond to the total number of coins that are buried as it would a solid large lump of metal.
The detector generates Eddy Currentss in all of the coins but due to the poor eletrical conductivity between each coin the detector sees only a weak rersponse.
So whether you are using a Two Box type detector, a PI or VLF type will make very little difference as to how deep the detector will detect the coin hoard...........Unless the hoard is in a metal box or has large metal straps holding the box together that can produce significant eddy current EMFs for the detector to respond to.
A Two Box type detector like the TM-808 or the TF-900 or the garrett Blood Hound may respond better to the cavity that the hoard is burried in due to the change in mineralisation of the cavity or infilled hole as compared to the surounding terrain or matrix. Some of these detectors have a Cavity mode that runs at a higher frequency than the metal mode and so can at times detect chages in mineralisation down to maybe 6 foot. and large metal plates to maybe 15 foot for a rubbish bin lid size object in the All metal mode.
Conductivity meters can locate variations in the ground electrical conductivity but are not of much use for finding relatively small metal objects like a chest of coins.
Just an opinion , Not Gospel.
