Hope you have as much fun as success as many others here. Any questions?......Just ask. Below are some general tips using the Garrett ATX:
-Stay away from junky area......a general suggestion for all PI's
-Ground balance with the sensitivity turned to about half or less
-Remember, the Iron check only works down to about 5 inches on a coin sized target.....still, a great advancement for available PI techno;ogy
-Do hunt hunted out places, as they(other hunters) have removed a lot of junk, leaving only the good deep targets for you
-learn to pinpoint without the pinpoint button, to conserve battery life
-Do dig weird audio signals.... can be bi-metal coins, chains, foreign coins or other surprises
-If you like to dig deep, use a scoop which has a long horizontal length
-re-ground balance after about 30 minutes if your coil had a +/- temperature of about 10 degree compared to the water
-Keep your "O" rings well lubricated to maintain water proof integrity
-Expect about 10 hours battery life on decent rechargeable AA's. When the battery light comes on, you have about 20 minutes left
-Use the supplied harness in shallow water. In deep water, the ATX has great buoyancy
