Picked up a Garrett ATX. Somewhat new to MD'ing but I'm well aware of and willing to take the time for the learning curve. Noticed a hiccup at the beach at first. It would give a tone at the end of every swing, high tone to the left and low tone to the right (or vice versa). Nothing I did would eliminate it. Nonetheless it still found small fish hooks etc. close to the surface.
Yesterday I went to an area known to yield small gold nuggets. After the scan and GB it still acted a bit sporadic. Decided to do a little test on a gold bracelet. To my surprise, no reaction! Sensitivity 10, threshold 7.5, disc 0. You can see the details in the video as well, link below. Batteries were also fully charged, ground was mineralized. Test was done with ground balancing on the ground and air. Same results each time. Any ideas? All input will be immensely appreciated.
