They say that the ATX is good for small gold, but these days a 6.62 gm is a monster. Great work you deserve it.
Thanks Geoff, took a little while to bond just like any machine. I have done fair share of testing on small nuggs. Don't get me wrong still love my sd2000, but comparing the recovery time (deciding on potential targets) , ground balancing and Stability in mineralised soil I do prefer the ATX.

Very nice nugget Joe, well done.
Thanks Heatho, as Wal said to me couple of weeks ago "soon mate" :)

I'm changing my strategy, I'm going out to speciffically detect some Lead this week, Gold is sure to come. :)

Yes mate heavy populated by lead,(I had a feeling there for a while I'm cleaning the place for gpx users) but every now and then when least expected smile arrives. Good luck mate :)

Nice nugget! It deffinitly puts confidence in others with the atx or people looking to buy one
Cheers mate, yes the atx has some hope :) it's hard to compare as there are 000's of good machines and operators out there.

Cant wait to hit a gold field, I'm all practised up now(should have called myself Lead), all I gotta do is get there!
 
Holly cow, that deservers a cleanup Australia certificate mate, I do find a lot of lead too but nowhere near as much you mate.
 
I just hope I can tip out buckets of gold and take some photos one day too(just got to fill the buckets).

That was one hell of a moment mate. Just the look on your face was priceless.
You were staring at it and couldnt believe it was true.
All I heard was "look at the size of this" Your jaw dropped to the ground and your eyes nearly fell out of their sockets. Thats a ripper piece mate, well done.... :cool: :cool:
