[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 255782, member: 3775"] I think you have those figures a bit mixed up, Your XP will work fine in OZ for relics and coins etc, but your ATX will boil down to skill and with the ATX it needs to be run at full Gain, But that will only work if the Ground conditions Allow it, But on the whole it should be fine, As to whether you find any Gold or not is down to the Skill of the user and finding a good spot to detect, Some folks can get on well with the ATX others don't, It's a bit like XP Deus or the CTX, some folks get on with one system others prefer the other, Your Understanding might be different to those who have posted, I tried to use my GP 3500 in fields down in Kent near the M25 and that was a bugger of a machine to use there, where the ATX might be good, most likely not but PI's were never made for hunting in mild farmland, I have used my MXT for finding Gold in OZ and for hunting hammered coins in the UK, The MXT will work in OZ but some of that Red Dirt will upset them, "YES" they will work and they do find Gold and in junk filled sites they are a big help, But if there is very little junk in Red Dirt areas a PI is the way to go, So I would take both of your machines and if you need to Hire a GPX 4500 or buy one, They are a lot cheaper in OZ than they are in the UK because of Price Fixing , john [/QUOTE]
