Hi,
I have been using a new Garrett ATX a few days now. As part of that I went wading at Lake Tahoe testing how the detector handles black sands and hot rocks. No issues at all to report there, the ATX just ground balanced it all out and made no sound unless a target was under the coil. I got my first gold ring in the process, 14K with five little 1/10th carat diamonds.
The depth of the ring was nothing exceptional, just a scoop deep. I got a handful of change and when hunting the dry beach, typical beach trash and a couple earrings, cheap jewelry type. Nothing momentous to report. The ATX ran clean as can be with no issues. It is an exceptionally well behaved detector, far more refined than the Infinium. Needless to say I was real happy getting a nice ring on my first water outing with it!
