[QUOTE="Pirate pete, post: 255630, member: 5572"] Hi christian1664 I have also owned an ATX and it was an expensive learning curve, I haven't been to WA yet but have used it in the GT in Victoria .In my opinion it is a waist of money and time. some people love them (cant see why) between my wife my stepson and myself all had the ATX and we were going to known gold bearing areas over a period of six months every weekend we in total found zip only buckshot and i know people say if you can find buckshot you can find gold but after all the time we put in with 3 ATX's i cant see it .If your a relic hunter i would say this would be fine and knowing detecting in the UK I know this is the main type of detecting but not for gold in WA .We have all sold our ATX.s and now have minelab 4500 with 12"nf evolution coils and all found gold in the first two weeks of owning them I am not an expert detectorist but would hate to see a fellow POME come all that way and be really disappointed because of a crap machine .Hope you have a great time over here and get on the yellow stuff, and it has been said in this thread be careful out there its not like the UK things here can go tits up really Quick .Have a great time and hire a 4500 lol.
