I have a beach where I pulled a lot of gold out of the water this summer and a lot of it was at the brink of detection on my CTX3030. In fact I had to drop the iron breakpoint way down into the iron range to even pick it up as non-ferrous. I believe the ATX has a ground balance feature, but I'm not very familiar with that product, the people over on the Garrett forum under metal detecting could probably better fill you in on it's strengths and weaknesses. But you're basically going to have to dig EVERY signal gold or not. And I'm not sure how hot the ATX is on small gold. The ATX is a superior water detector and I am going to use mine in California low water rivers this summer to look for gold. Mind you, I do not want this to look like I am recommending an ATX over the GPX 5000. If you have the money the GPX is the way to go. But Garrett did a great job at less than half the price. Design and Appearance of the Garrett ATX. I really like the design of the Garrett ATX. It has that army, military style that I think makes you feel more powerful and really keeps you more focused while you are metal detecting! Everything about the Garrett ATX looks “tough” and it is in fact very rugged. It’s built to last. friend Curt let me borrow his ATX and I texted it out.

It features advanced pulse induction technology, a durable design that meets military specifications, and a new DD coil design for extreme and uniform sensitivity— from tiny gold pieces to larger gold nuggets.

Hello All, Over the last week I have received two emails about the depth claims on the Garrett ATX and the Minelab GPX 5000. First, I would like to say these detectors are leagues apart. The Garrett ATX wasnt built to perform like a GPX. I own both detectors and also sell both detectors, which ar

Everything about the Garrett ATX looks “tough” and it is in fact very rugged. It’s built to last. This is more of a training video for those of you that have or want to use a Garrett ATX metal detector. The ATX is a Pulse machine and is very different than a normal VLF. I AM NOT A PRO with

Please be sure to subscribe if you enjo I like the ATX so much I just treated myself to a brand new Garrett ATX Deepseeker package so I now have the full complement of ATX coils and accessories. I am weeding my detector collection down to the bare minimum I can get by with and the Garrett ATX is a survivor in more ways than one. I started this thread to answer questions about the detector. Please, if you see posts elsewhere on the Friendly Forums asking about the ATX direct them here. I will check here daily as long as is warranted. I want to make clear I am not a Garrett dealer and I could not care less if anyone buys an ATX.

Searchcoils. The Garrett ATX has 3 searchcoils to select from, with the 10″ x 12″ DD searchcoil coming as standard. I personally haven’t used anything but the 10″ x 12″ DD, however, if you have extra money to spend, it might be worthwhile taking a closer look at what each of the other searchcoils has to offer.
