    Thanks for watching Malcolm - yes it is the same waterproof connector as on the AT Gold and AT Pro. Not displayed in the video is the facility to completely remove the arm cuff for better access to the coil cable connector. All the best and HH! Warren.

    Thanks for watching Bevan - and best of luck with your new ATX, simply awesome machine. Happy Prospecting! Warren.

    Thanks for watching John - the ATX is a Pulse Induction machine designed for the goldfields - as with all Pulse machines, there is no target ID or depth indication so an LCD screen would be of no use. Pulse Induction machines are all raw power and pretty much 'dig everything' - that is how they are designed. The Etrac is VLF detector which is designed for a completely different purpose. HH mate! Warren.

    Thanks for watching Willo - can't wait to get it out to the goldfields too - where the 20" mono will cover plenty of ground on the open flats. HH mate! Warren.

    An incredibly informative infomercial you put together Warren. Looks like an easy set up and will transport securely on the airlines with just as much ease. Can't wait to see all the goodies you and Colleen find with that bad boy! LOL I'm also glad to see Garrett sponsoring you, you have stayed loyal to their brand all along. GL and HH my friend! Doug

    Thanks Hugh - we are having a lot of fun with the new Garrett gear - HH mate! Warren.

  • @NQExplorers
    @NQExplorers  11 років тому

    Thanks Ferret - the ATX is an awesome machine for gold prospecting or relic hunting in mineralized soils - well suited to the Australian landscape! HH in Somerset! Warren.

  • @NQExplorers
    @NQExplorers  11 років тому +1

    Thanks for watching - the Garrett ATX was field tested alongside the Minelab GPX5000 in the WA Goldfields. The ATX with the stock DD coil will exceed the GPX5000 on low conductivity targets (i.e. small gold) and match or exceed it on deeper targets - with similar coil setups. More ATX videos coming soon. HH mate! Warren.

    Great overview of the detector Warren and look forward in anticipation to hearing your reports on it out in the fields. Best of luck and hope those nuggets flow freely....Cheers Wal.

    That answers my question Warren, best of luck with that beauty, I know the kind of detector I want now,

  • @NQExplorers
    @NQExplorers  11 років тому

    Thanks for your comment, always appreciated! And you can never have too many toys LOL. The ATX will be ideal for your area if the old battlefields are in highly mineralized soils where VLF machines may suffer degraded performance. And the iron check is a really great feature - especially in that scenario. All the best and HH! Warren.

    Warren - with all this talent - should should try out for X-Factor or Australia's Got Talent. If they had a category for "Metal Detector Setup Video" - this would have to be in the grand final for sure. I don't own one of these yet...but after gluing myself to this video - I am more than confidant I could set it up and be getting swing time ...in no time. Thanks for putting this up and for making it easy to follow. Cheers GL & HH Ian.

  • @NQExplorers
    @NQExplorers  11 років тому

    Thanks for watching Russell - yes the ATX will get good depth on all targets - as you suggest specifics depend on target size and conductivity - but particularly so in highly mineralized soils such as on the goldfields - and salt water beaches too. HH mate! Warren.

  • @NQExplorers
    @NQExplorers  11 років тому

    @ReasonableAssumption 5 років тому

    Two notes of interest about the clip. Remember to loosen the arm rest before swiveling the coil to open or retract it. The second is to ensure that the control panel faces up towards the handle of the case. If not it will rest on the bottom and be much less protected than if it was in the other way.

  • @helisafari
    @helisafari 11 років тому

    Good video Warren-thanks for posting-very concise and easy to understand. Looks like a great machine which is simple, tough and really easy to use. I look forward to see how you go with it and your next video! Best of luck with the detecting!

    I sure would like to have one, but it's said by a certain individual "You have too many toys." There are some excellent opportunities around here, as we live right in the middle of a lot of early American colonial activity including a battlefield. (Battle of Great Bridge) I always enjoy your videos.

    Warren it looks a fantastic machine - cant wait to hear further reports about it. Like the 20 inch coil option that would be brilliant on the beach. Fairly itching to have a swing with one myself! Ian

  • @NQExplorers
    @NQExplorers  11 років тому

    The standard package comes the the stock DD coil - the 20" mono and 8" mono are optional. The Deepseeker package includes the 20" mono and a military hard case. Warren.

  • @NQExplorers
    @NQExplorers  11 років тому

    The Garrett AML1000 Recon Pro is not the same detector as the ATX - but they do share the same casing so the ATX is very rugged, mil spec in all respects. And it looks great too! All the best and HH! Warren.

  • @NQExplorers

  • @NQExplorers
    @NQExplorers  11 років тому

    Thanks for watching and commenting - if you are hoping to detect fine gold chain - which as you would know is notoriously difficult due to its low conductivity - you would be best served with the optional 8" monoloop coil rather than the DD. The ATX operates very smoothly in both salt and ironstone conditions so that smooth stable threshold maximises your chances of detecting fine targets such as gold chain. HH mate! Warren.

  • @NQExplorers
    @NQExplorers  11 років тому

    Thanks for watching and commenting - great your are coming to Australia - which is an enormous country with countless places to metal detect for gold, coins or relics. Depending on where you travel, your best bet is to visit the local detector shop for advice on areas where you can hunt. All the best and HH! Warren.

  • @NQExplorers

  • @hipstar1974
    @hipstar1974 11 років тому

    What an awesome machine. Great video Warren. Your videos are always easy to watch and understand. I can't wait to get one. I have found just under an ounce in 10 months of owning an AT Gold and I love my machine but I can see that the ATX would be a huge upgrade. How does it compare to the Infinium? I know you have used an Infinium quite a bit. Is it a big improvement from the Infinium?

  • @stogie-tz3ii
    @stogie-tz3ii 10 років тому

    Just bought the atx. I am new to fosicking. When I go to the gold fields just west of Warrick. Do I just serch anywhere or do I need to look a particular land feature. For example should I only serch low land next to non running creaks and the creaks themselves. Or is up hi on the hill tops just as good. Should I look for their to ber rocky ground or is strait dirt ok. This will be a gread help. I did find some very thin flakes of rust about a foot deep and a peice of shot gun shot. So I think I got it all set up ok.. thanks for putting up the great videos. Also I dont understand the non motion mode

    • @NQExplorers
      @NQExplorers  10 років тому +1

      G'day mate - congratulation on the new ATX! If you are fossicking for gold in you area, a good place to start is the old workings - have a look where the 'old timers' were getting gold, check the old mullock heaps and the gullies draining the old workings. Look for 'shallow' ground where the bedrock isn't far under the surface, this will vary with local geography. You can even pan the creeks for 'colour' to make sure you are on the right track. Non-Motion mode will give you more depth but you will need to 'Retune' regularly (depending on local mineralization). Best to do a lot of hours in Motion mode first. Make sure you are properly ground balanced, start with the Ground Track off if the ground is quiet, and run the sensitivity as high as practical (10 or 11). Best of luck and Happy Prospecting! Warren.

    • @stogie-tz3ii

    Hi Warren great vid you won me with Garret over minelab 7k.
    Q when setting frequency should the coil be flat on ground?
    Thanks Pat

    • @NQExplorers
      @NQExplorers  6 років тому

      Patrick Skahill Thanks for your comment Patrick, for the frequency scan there is no need to have the coil flat to the ground. It’s actually scanning for EMI, so the more it ‘hears’, the better, for quiet operation. Cheers mate. Warren.

    • @paddy2661
      @paddy2661 6 років тому

      NQExplorers are yes electrical transmitting interference got it . Think i indulge in to many of your great video's and didn't give myself much time to process all info.
      Been looking at dectectors on an off for few year and thought minelab was the go and didn't look at the ATX much thinking it was more relic hunter . But has won and shock me on it's smove and brilliant performance cos I'm only interested in golden triangle.
      And didn't want a rocket scientist detector.
      Q. Will the ATX auto ground balance as you move along after setting initial first ground balance starting new patch.
      Cheers thanks Warren

    • @NQExplorers
      @NQExplorers  6 років тому +1

      Patrick Skahill Ground balance won’t change automatically, I believe you are referring to ‘tracking’ which can be set to slow, medium or fast on ATX. I tend not to use it and just ground balance again if the threshold becomes noisy. ATX is very good in the Golden Triangle. Good luck!

      @NQExplorers  3 роки тому

      No problems at all Alfie, you may find the ATX runs better with 8 x AA Duracell alkalines at 1.5v each (i.e. full 12 volts). Cheers mate. Warren.

  • @daviddecatur4190
    @daviddecatur4190 9 років тому

    Warren,
    Just a question of the Iron discrimination function, will this machine tell you the targets such as rusty old nails, and scrap steel and iron bolts. Does Iron function work on brass objects? Thanks Dave

    • @NQExplorers
      @NQExplorers  9 років тому +1

      David Decatur Thanks for your query David. The iron discrimination function will only identify ferrous targets. Generally, brass and targets of high conductivity will give a low-hi (although this depends on size and other factors), gold and lead will give a hi-low (once again depends on size and conductivity). Very large ferrous items will probably not iron check due to their sheer size and the way they present to PI detectors (this would include large steel items and bolts etc). Smaller iron, such as old timers rubbish, will give you the iron 'grunt' when checked. This is a very conservative feature as you really need to investigate all targets when prospecting. Don't forget the Iron Check only works with the DD coil. As with all PI detectors, the ATX can't really 'discriminate' as such - nothing like a VLF can, although with time you will learn that there are subtle differences in target responses with the ATX. Hope this helps mate. Happy Fossicking! Warren.
