[QUOTE="christian1664, post: 261153, member: 7733"] A few weeks ago I asked a question on here on whether the TAX was up to the job in the WA gold fields and had varying answers most saying the minelab 5000 was far superior. Well I have just returned from a two week WA prospecting trip and this is how I rate both machines. I will let the figures do the talking. Four days of using the Garrett ATX the result one .2 gram nugget . Nine days using the minelab 5000 in the same area and remember this machine is new to me, the result fourty nuggets for just under an ounce. The Garrett ATX my have a few nich applications ie working near power lines or on salt flats but as a machine for general prospecting it just doesn't find gold like the 5000. I will still use the ATX for beach detecting for which it is excellent but the next time I come to Australia it will be staying at home Hope you find this short comparison useful [/QUOTE]
