[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 57263, member: 147"] G'day Marcus, If it is of any help, we are doing tests on the machine in a few locations and are still waiting for coil covers for the deep seeker mono coil..(well over 2 months now and no coil covers). Not at all a good look. We will not be showing our vid till we are completely happy with all the testing, as we don't want to re-shoot it because of personal opinions from others. What you see is what you'll get and we won't be going into any debates. I am not an ATX owner, and have no loyalties to any brand....but do however use the GPX5000 as my preferred detector. I was initially thinking of an ATX as a spare detector for Liz, who runs a Whites PI TDI pro ozz series at the moment. After comparing the 2 machines i soon gave the idea of the ATX a miss as results confirmed i would not be upgrading by purchasing the ATX. My personal advice would be to hire yourself an ATX and try it for a day. If you want it as a coin/treasure machine it would be right up there with the best. As a dedicated gold machine in highly mineralized soils....in my opinion there are far better choices for your hard earned dollars. I think it may be quite some time before many ATX owners will post "Regular" pics of nuggets. Cheers Wal. [/QUOTE]
