Garrett ATX: Australian Sub-Gram Gold Nuggets.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лип 2024
- In this short demonstration video, we check the response of the Garrett ATX on tiny gold nuggets in highly mineralized Australian ironstone clay/gravel which is typically encountered in our goldfields. The advantage that the ATX provides to Aussie prospectors over current PI machines is the ability to detect very low conductive, sub-gram nuggets with a DD coil. Most prospectors will be utilizing monoloop coils for their sensitivity on small gold, the penalty is that in hot and variable ground, the monoloop will experience unstable and variable thresholds to the point where it may become unusable. With the ATX stock DD, you now get stable operation in very hot ground on sub-gram gold. All this with a single setting (no complex switch settings) and the option of two modes of operation: Motion, and Non-Motion.
Experienced prospectors will know that a test bed cannot fully replicate actual field conditions, such as varying mineralization, soil moisture content, soil air voids, ambient noise, ambient temperature, threshold settings, coil swing technique and the fact that the gold has been in the ground for many millions of years -- but this test bed demonstration will serve to illustrate the usefulness of the ATX with the standard DD coil in adverse environments. The ATX is no re-badged Infinium or Recon-pro, it is new technology that provides a real advantage on small gold in hot ground. This comes with no sacrifice to the ability to detect large nuggets at depth. We hope you enjoy this short demonstration and find it informative. More ATX goldfields videos to follow soon!

Well done demo Warren! Cheers from Texas.
Do you actually know how to make a bad video NQ?! Now there's a few tips I could give you! Love the khaki and simplicity of the ATX and of course your informative pitch and evidenced based demonstration. You are a great ambassador for Garrett AND Australia AND the hobby.
Thanks for watching and commenting Alan - the first time I picked this detector up I knew the ATX was something special - and as you point out, very simple to operate - really enjoying your videos mate - keep uploading, great info you are getting out there! Happy Prospecting! Warren.
thats exactly what everyone on the gold forums was looking for thanks heaps.
I'm becoming a big fan of your.
Thanks mate - always appreciate your commenting on our videos - best wishes and HH! Warren.
Thanks for watching Arwon - very much appreciate feedback such as you have provided. All the best and HH! Warren & Colleen.
Cool demo Warren. Also cheers from Texas!
Warren,
Great to see you out there with the ATX. Really looking forward to seeing its performance on natural ground.
Thats incredible and that soil... never seen anything like it. Wonder how the ATX would perform on our soils here in the UK. Don't tell anyone but i'd have to rob a bank to buy one to find out LOL Great video and very informative. Thanks Warren, looking forward to the gold field hunt.
Very well done video NQ, thanks very much in taking the time to demonstrate the ATX.
:)
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment - Happy Hunting mate! Warren.
Nice video Warren, wish I had a ATX to play with here in the UK. HH & GL mate
Thanks for watching - the ATX comes with a sling and bungee strap which gives it neutral weight which makes a bid difference. All the best mate and HH! Warren.
Excellent demonstration.
great info warren, cant wait to get my hands on one.
cheers Crampo
hope you don't mind but I've posted this vid on Facebook , great to see you maintain your integredy by listing the variables , your the sort of bloke i like to chase gold with , keep up the good work
Thanks for watching and for your great comment Pickenshovel - much appreciated mate, I will be doing more ATX videos soon so that there is that much more info out there for the prospectors interested in the ATX. Happy prospecting mate! Warren.
Very informative and clear explanation of the difference that this new ATX offers. Thanks for the demonstration - now I am certain that the ATX - has a clear advantage...actually more than one when you consider the all terrain capability - and the price. thanks Warren. Cheers GL & HH Ian.
Thanks for watching Iroc - I have a short video on the way which demonstrates the big 20" mono loop coil - just the ticket for your next trip to W.A.! Happy prospecting mate! Warren.
Thanks for watching and commenting TT - all the best mate and HH! Warren.
Thanks for watching Jeffrey, best of luck on your next hunt in Texas mate! HH! Warren.
Interesting info Warren. I haven't done gold hunting yet but I still listened to what you said.
Rob.
Thanks for watching Rob, we don't do as much prospecting as we would like - as you know we really love our coin and relic hunting and have a lot of sites nearby - the goldfields up here are a bit further out and subject to seasonal issues such as access and rampant spear grass! All your coin and relic skills will transfer to the goldfields mate - hope you get out there one day! Happy Hunting! Warren.
Thanks for watching and commenting mate - the ATX is a big move for a first detector - but if you have any questions or need help with it in any way - just message me and I will try to give you a hand. Best of luck with your new ATX! HH! Warren.
Thanks for watching GemQ - more ATX action to follow! All the best and HH! Warren.
Thanks for watching and commenting Irongutz - much appreciated mate, I haven't actually filmed any ATX/GPX5000 comparo as yet - but if you keep an eye on Alan Mash's channel (Bearkat4160) - he has one coming up very soon. All the best and HH mate! Warren.
Thanks for your great comment Steven - we hope that if we present information in this format, the Aussie detectorist can make an informed choice on his/her next detector purchase. All the best mate and HH! Warren.
Thanks for your great comment Danny and HH! Warren.
Thanks for watching and commenting Herby375 - best of luck with your new ATX! Happy Hunting! Warren.
Thanks for watching Mark - the Prospector's Patch over your way is doing a Tech Talk demo day on the ATX soon, if you have a look at their website, all the details are there. Happy Hunting mate! Warren.
Interesting video Warren. I'm looking at getting back into prospecting, and am looking forward to seeing more of how this machine performs on the goldfields.
Cheers,
Mark
Thanks for watching mate - the ATX would be a great asset on those UK beaches! HH mate! Warren.
Thanks for watching and commenting Paul - more ATX field videos on the way mate! HH! Warren.
Look forward to watching the results from a gold field hunt Warren.
happy hunting
Paul
Thanks for watching and commenting - we have more ATX videos coming soon. Happy Hunting! Warren.
Thanks, very well done and explained in a comprehensive way. On the list.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment - more ATX videos coming soon - Happy Hunting! Warren.
Thanks for all the info Warren!
I have one on order.
Cheers!!!!
Thanks for watching Mick - the ATX would be a ripper on the Welsh beaches - doesn't mind getting wet at all! HH! Warren.
Thanks for watching Magpie - unlikely that you will find that kind of soil in the green fields of Wales LOL. If you did - you may need an ATX! All the best mate and HH! Warren.
Thanks for your great comment Spinifex - incidentally - I think your "Escape from Crocodile Attack while Metal Detecting in North Queensland" strategy should be included in the next Sea Hunter or ATX "How To" DVD. Accordingly, if you could organise something (such as a practical demonstration involving your good self) - we would be happy to film the event and submit it to Garrett LOL. HH mate! Warren.
O Yea Warren! Just what I have found also with my ATX! Just a killer detector...and simple.
nice review
Thanks for your latest video Warren,the ATX does look like a great machine. Like you say, if it can find tiny nuggets in soil like that, then it can certainly find larger ones buried deeper... I`m still working on how I can afford to buy one!
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and comment - from the moment you pick this detector up - you know it is something special! Hope to see you out there one day with your new ATX! Happy Hunting! Warren.
Warren, great video- you are a real pro! Could you add another video on larger nuggets or a head to head with the GPX 5000? That would be killer
Hi Warren,
Im having quite a bit of trouble getting the right technique for swinging the ATX and for how far of the ground to hold it etc. If you get the chance can you please do a short vid on these two things. Im certain that i am missing targets due to poor technique.
Much appreciated.
Any chance of you being able to do a test with the deepseeker coil with a 10 grammer at 15" depth in slitly mineralised soil ? Or any depth test on bigger nuggets? Thanks in advance Andy
Thanks mate.
fantastic machine could do with one of them for the beach in wales uk gl hh mick
You - are a funny fellow NQ! However; your comment and suggestion has certainly got me thinking. I'm going to bed now, but with ideas for videos already bubbling in my mind I know sleep may be a little way off. Cheers.
Hi Warren, do you think that the ATX is a good starter PI metal detector. I have used VLF in the past and am looking to get a rugged and simple to use PI detector. Any guidance would be very appreciated.
G'day Tristan - the ATX is far more than a 'starter' PI, it is top shelf stuff, true multi-pulse, multi-frequency PI. It is extremely rugged and fully waterproof, even underwater - I have used it underwater snorkelling with the waterproof headphones. Extremely sensitive on small gold nuggets in very hot ground, and exceptional shielding to EMR so you can detect just about anywhere. I will take some getting used to after a VLF, and like all pulse detectors, is pretty much 'dig everything'. But it does have a useful 'iron check' feature so it is extremely versatile. Hope this helps mate, don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have - you can also contact us on Facebook. Happy Fossicking! Warren.
hello, excuse my English but I am italian and I live in perth. I garrett the ATX standard version, the beach and 'a bomb, really powerful too in depth'. Unfortunately, I tested it in an area near leonora but I never appeared stable, you can give me some advice? thank you very much. Andrea. congratulations for the video goes on like this!
G'day Andrea, congratulations on your new ATX! I have used the ATX in very hot WA soil up around Cue with no issues. Make sure on startup you do a Frequency Scan. Operate in Motion mode and ground balance the machine - it ground balances very easily in all soil types. You should now have very stable operation. Non-Motion mode will require quite a bit of retuning in hot ground and will appear unstable. If you are getting some threshold instability, set tracking to Slow or Medium, and even a bit of Discrimination, but I have not found that this is necessary as the ATX has a very stable threshold, even around EMI. Hope this helps mate - just message if you need more help. Happy Fossicking! Warren.
G'day, thanks a lot, I'll try all the settings recommended. keep it up, you're strong! Andrea
Excellent independent video. I thumbs up.I collect money for this detector. good luck, bro .
Which one see deeper :- AT GOLD or ATX ?
Warren are you a Metal Detector Dealer?
I think my atx is broken. it wont pick up a .5gram at 4 inch deep
hopeless
GUt !!!
