Check it out people, the April edition of Gold Gem & Treasure mag, page 14 under heading " The Garrett ATX Hits the Ground Running".
firstly let me say i loove my 5k a new found joy of the machine since i started picking up some gold, but i have to say i am very SHATTERD by the response of MINELAB in one of their comments to the author of the above topic in the GG&T mag, for those who dont or wont get a copy it basicly states that, MINELAB agreed that there is a "hole" in the GPX theory, it has to do with the induction of electrical eddy currents and the decay rate of those eddy currents.
Are you left a little bit....."WTF" as i was...what in the bloody hell is an eddy current.....for anyone like myself who is left a little bewilderd the short end is they are admitting that these detectors can over look gold................ 8.(
I do not know the ins and outs of the settings used on the 4500 & 5000 but from the authors description the users of the machines are highly experienced.
The author does go onto explain he is not affiliated with any metal detector company or detector shop and has 30 years of experience using metal detectors in the search of gold..... draw your own conclusions, but i will be having more of a play with my 5000 settings the next time im out.......And if i get my hands on "Eddy Current"...... its gunna get messy
