[QUOTE="Toysandthings, post: 39278, member: 498"] The Garrett ATX PI metal detectors have finally arrived into store. Sold out and being delivered. We are now taking preorders on the next delivery in December. So up until now no one could really be giving reviews on the detectors. The shops did not have them until now. well actually it was yesterday afternoon. So having got our hands on one, We tested it. Seems very well made and looks good. tested in my local park. A little EMI n lots of junk. 1g nugget 8 inchs. 2g nugget 11 inchs. 5c coin 13 inchs. tested with max senisivity and no threshold, so u could raise it to listen the the ground n get more depth. Need to test with a spec of gold and seems I need a 3 ounce nugget to test with too...:) need to test out on the goldfields and directly compare to other detectors. So far I give it the thumbs up. Seems more sensitive then my Infinium with an 8" mono. cheers. Lee. [/QUOTE]
