    Arterial flutter

    Lost count how many times I've been cardioverted, well over 40+, 3 x ablations and maze procedure. Has all calmed down a little now since they've put in a titanium mitral valve. If it goes spastic now I just pop a pill and it resets itself. Was on first name basis there for a while with the A+E...

    Garrett ATX gold finds

    I like Kozi M bought an ATX. Found lots of trash with it and when tested on sub grammer nuggets with its stock DD coil (against a 5000) it didn't pick any up (out of 5 in a test patch at 1 inch). That was the clincher for me. Sold the ATX and went with a 5000. Haven't looked back since and gold...

    Minelab GPX5000 tips, settings and questions

    Quick question around EMI noise in contrast to threshold 'hum'. Am I right in saying that the chatter EMI causes, including sudden spikes in noise can be heard over and above the threshold? Yesterday saw alot of 'noise' where I was at times but I could still manage to hear the constant and...

    Gday All

    Thanks Jaros and Olly, yes the vastness is quite attracting and even if you come home empty handed, time spent in peace and quiet is memorable. Coming back with gold even better! Feel free to contact Olly, I'm always up for more time out there. Cheers..

    Gday All

    Howdy all, a quick intro, had about a 30 year break since I last held a detector. Back then it was a cheapy looking for coins and relics around old ovals and parks with the old man in SA. Scored a few old bits but like everyone you move on in life and you get tied up with other things. Fast...

    Heading to Kal Wa for a week.

    Hi Gutshot, if your one day tour isn't with 'Nugget in the Hand' tours, cancel and try to organise a day out with Steve (if timings work out). I too took out a 5000 with him and I cannot rank him highly enough. Great knowledge and tuition with the 5000 and even managed to walk away with gold...

    Garrett ATX vs Minelab GPX5000

    Yes Kozi M it will find gold, I did exactly that as well but in the field it seemed to struggle. Maybe I just never walked over gold?. All the best with it, given time you should prevail. :Y:

    Garrett ATX vs Minelab GPX5000

    Kozi M, I too was in your shoes, having purchased an ATX for all the same reasons. As time went by it was picking up all sorts of bits and pieces, everything except what I was out there for! It was also tested against some sub grammers for which it passed straight over (using DD stock coil). A...
