I had noticed that myself a few days back,of course its good if you are in the market to buy one of these detectors,they are a brand new detector that has only been out a very short time duration but as yet i still have not heard of anyone on any of the forum mentioning the fact that they have bought one.So is it possible that people just have spare money after christmas or is it a detector that does not really have a niche over here in the UK ??
As i have mentioned before i never buy a brand new detector that has just come onto the market i give a minimum of 6-9 months usually the latter time duration to see if any reliability issues start appearing,another thing what niche does this actually fit in ?? we have all ready a wide spectrum of Pulse machines from low end spec machines right upto the other end of the spectrum,i wont mention other brand names on the thread,but we also have waterproof and total diving Pulse machine as well so that in theory should cover most users needs.So does our market require another high end Pulse machine ??? the ATX as yet has not found a pigeon hole that it will fit so as a result of this i can possibly see sales being sluggish.
The markets that the ATX i guess is aimed at is nuggett hunting in either Aussie land or US gold fields that is what all the videos are showing it being used for,but over here we dont have Gold nuggets,but we do have a vast array of historic artifacts etc that can be found with other cheaper machines.So is this the possible reason why sales are sluggish and the price has dropped ??? its not for me too say but of course time will tell.
These are of course just my personal observations and nothing else,of course i would like one of these machines but the time aspect still stands and also feedback from other UK detectorists who use these machines and not biased reviews as can appear in certain media.
