Hey, has anyone had any experience with the atx 8" mono?? Been on the deep seeker and the dd for a while now and starting to feel like I'm never going to find anything yellow :-( Clutching at straws now, is it worth investing?? A big buy at nearly $1000! Cheers gents, Dano

Hey condor, how did you go at the flinders? We're you able to give the detector a swing after?? Anyl luck? Thinking of getting out there myself next few weeks :-)

Good stuff guys. yea i like the look of the lesche type shovel, i have a small foldable camping shovel, maybe ill try that before shelling out a hundy for a new one. i just read about the guys carving up all the council irrigation... lol, got me worried now ;-)

Was having a go along a river bank today and using the garrett digging tool for recovery. But the ground soil was so hard the rubber handle split, I got a nice skin chunk took out of my finger and got blisters from trying to force open the ground. What do you guys use when the ground is dry?? I...

Haha thanks chaps. Yea was a right treat. Found a few big bullets which appeared to be melted inside the casings, maybe from a brushfire?? You seen these before?? Onward and upward now, looking for the million dollar find! It's actually not that easy to find old coins here, I'd rather find one...

@ mount crawford forrest sa... now I'm motivated!!

Amazing!! We can only dreamand keep unearthing what we can! :-)

Yea mate, it came in the post yesterday, brand spanking new coil with the existing shafts, more than I could of asked for, I'm well chuffed :-)

Garrett phoned today and says they have replaced the coil and lead but have kept the existing shafts, so nearly new is good enough for me. Looking forward to giving it a swing now and digging up some more junk for my collection ;-)

Hey guys thanks for your replys. First of all, the atx was not new, but sold to me as a hardly used machine, I bought it second hand as I wanted the deep seek but also wanted a bargain, well that the chance you take I suppose. I tried all of the methods to get the cable to recoil. It nothing...

Na mate, the other coil is neatly recoils into the shaft. Garrett says to send it in and they'll take a look.

Im going to speak to garrtett today but i got a feeling they are going to say that the cable has been over stretched rather than faulty. cheers guys

hmmm, think i found the problem... Any thoughts...

I don't know what's worse, digging up shit or not digging up anything!!
