[QUOTE="nesral, post: 434247, member: 4364"] I'm using an ATX because it have the versatility required for both prospecting on our gold fields and beach/water hunting. Have acquired 5 different coils of which some are totally waterproof like the detector housing, handy/essential when in the water. I'm using the control box detached from the coil as in hip/chest mount and the coils complete with their own shafts, heaviest of them is the original supplied DD coil at 1.5 kg the lightest is the 7x3.5" DD at 900 gram, latest/newest 13x11" Mono again with complete shaft is 1.4 kg. ATX housing with batteries and hip mount is 1.750 kg, now compare this with some PI detectors of yesteryear which had the 12 volt 7-Ah Gel battery at 2.1kg. Wishfully this will not start a brand war, I'm using a tool that is suitable for what I do. [/QUOTE]
