Would the Atx be any good for coin hunting in extreme iron trash ghost towns???

Anyone ever tried anything similar and have any luck?

I wouldn't use any PI in iron infested areas. They all are real sensitive to iron. You can get both a low-high signal and a high low signal. A recipe for frustration.....

Actually, there is a PI which I would happily use over any VLF in a site with iron that I know also has coins. It's the TDI pro. Because of the readily adjustable ground balance on the pro, iron can not only be ignored, it can be seen right through. Here is an ad-free video which gives you a taste of the Pro's abilities to see through iron https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38qI7Xz2BBo. Indeed, the TDI is a silver hunting beast! FYI: if the guy in that video had put his ground balance knob a little lower, the results would have been even better.

Sorry, I know this is a Garrett thread. If one can figure out how to adjust the ground balance of the atx on the fly, it could do the exact same thing. And by that I mean go above and below the actual point the ground balances at. The atx would have the potential to get the deep coins!

I use Pi's in ghost towns, ATX is one of the two i use. What I do is tend to hunt the outer areas full of iron, sure I'll detect the inner iron areas but usually detect outside were I can get decent separation.

However, only use a Pi when mineralization effects depth. Out west we need a good Pi for fresh water lakes and inland detecting were mineralization effects VLF.

I'm leaving here in a few minutes to detect a ghost town, only two machines I'm taking are my ATX and GPX 5000. Both punch down deep, and do ok in iron.

Good luck,
Paul
