[QUOTE="christian1664, post: 255356, member: 7733"] I will be visiting WA in ten days time to detect around Kalgoorlie I was planning to bring my ATX with me as I was under the impression it was a competent detector in highly mineralised ground (it is a beast on the beaches of the UK). however there are so many conflicting opinions/reviews on it that now I'm not so sure whether to bring it or not! I am not trying to reopen the ATX v Minelab 5000 debate, no one expects a 3k detector to outperform a 6k machine, I just need to know if the ATX is good enough for someone coming to Australia for a two week detecting holiday, will it do the job ? Also I'm already competent with an ATX, would I be able to master a 5000 quickly enough ? I look forward to reading your thoughts and experiences. [/QUOTE]
