How do you go with ground balancing the thing. With the GPX you ground balancing every couple of metres or so, sometimes. How often do you have to ground balance the ATX?

or a CTX. I've been hearing some pretty sad stories about the 3030 of late. :/

Completely different machines for different purposes...
dave14110 said:I was thinking of getting ATX also pete but after month of bad reports about NO coil skid plates & poor service. I changed my mind I have now decided to get CTX instead. I haven't seen too many problems with CTX, some pro's on other forum's use them and I know of 2 people that are now both on 8 sovereigns each. Some pro's are now on their 3rd CTX but they have more than paid for machines. Some pro's have publicly earn' t more than $18,000.
My choice was service is better. the CTX has skid plates when machine was made. The CTX is water proof to 3m and has discrimination which not many waterproof machines have. So to me it is a no brainer & I pick it up this week.
Back on topic yes the ATX has gone very quiet I am in a the Victorian Metal Detector & Prospecting Association with about a hundred members & nobody that has come to one of our monthly camps has an ATX . I have been to every camp in the last year but one.

Garrett make waterproof headphones. Nugget did have a pair for sale.
I wasn't game enough not because it said waterproof but because of leaches I did have it in the water to about gumbootsAlfie said:Hi all just wanted to know if anybody has used a garrett ATX under water and how it went? Thanks

It's not a vlf
we know what you meant VLF= very low fat and yes depending where they would be stuck would determine the signal (scream) that would definitely override the peep peep atx produces lolGOLD Billyen said:Diggerdude said:GOLD Billyen said:I wonder if your screams interfere with the VLF signal when you look down and see 5 leaches stuck to you?
