    Stop The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation - BACKGROUNG AND UPDATE

    From what I have found Mass CM 304 was rescinded except for the traffic and parking sections. CMR 304.12.11 addressed DCR beach detecting. There were two regulating divisions that combined and the 302DRAFT was written in August 2013, public comment time was in November2013, vote was to be in...

    The ATX does not discriminate types of GOLD!

    Spring left fast last Friday. I got out Saturday, Sunday and today. I had to feed the Armadillo and I found out that he was non-discriminatory about what type of gold it liked. Also it was equally pleased to play with a see-through Indian Head. The gold chain, I believe had a charm on it and...

    Once upon an Infinium! 2 Sweethearts, 2 Rings, 2 Schools, 38 Years, 1 day

    I have to say this will never happen again at least to me unless I win the lotto, get hit by lightning, and get stung by a swarm of killer bees all on the same day! This metal detecting story starts with a detecting friend showing me there is more than the usual place to search for gold on a...

    What do you feed an Armadillo (AKA ATX)

    Once an Armadillo gets the taste of gold, I believe you have to keep feeding it gold and keep it clean and happy. Temps in the high 30s, had to go detecting with the low tide. A new beach, and my ATX sniffed out an initial ring dated 1914 and an class ring with no Grad date but 1893 for the...

    Infinium v ATX - A ringing answer

    I have said it before, although I have only a few hours with the ATX in the water, I believe it is a huge improvement over the Infinium. Check out the following in the NEW Garrett ATX Metal Detector forum: 5 Rings: Was it Skill, Luck or ATX? You Decide

    5 Rings: Was it Skill, Luck or ATX? You Decide

    Two weeks after the New England's deep freeze put me into hibernation it went north for 3 days. In its place came a blue sky, temperature hitting 49, melting snow, and 15mph winds

    5 Rings: Was it Skill, Luck or ATX? You Decide

    I moved the story to the ATX forum, Sorry, I posted it in the wrong forum. It is worth the trip to read the story!

    Not only CTX but ALL Minelab coils

    A great informational link on all available Minelab Coils http://www.minelab.com/__files/f/11792/KBA_02-2_Coil_Selection_Guide.pdf BUT, still nothing to tell me what is SMART about the CTX-17 17X13 DD smart coil. I did find the following on what a smart coil is: FBS 2 combines Minelab's FBS...

    ATX users BEWARE! My experience.

    I was well insulated to stay warm in 37F degree water chest deep, in the dark trying to get a ring out of my scoop and safely onto my carabiner WHEN... my arm pressed all the buttons on the control panel. All kinds of beeping from the ATX and not knowing what happened had me concerned. It only...

    How to increase hits...

    It is beyond my comprehension how the original post can have several hundred to over a thousand views yet the threads seldom get 1/10th of the hits that the original post gets. It is my experience that I gain more information and knowledge form the threads than I do form the original post. If...

    ATX News - Garrett listens!

    I never doubted once since I started swinging my Infinium LS that I found a company that is concerned with what their customers say and how to correct any "problem". I was a QA manager for a multi-million dollar company and have a good background in saying so. I own 12 detectors from 5...

    If man put it together, man can take it apart...

    HOWEVER IT MAY NEVER GO BACK TOGETHER AGAIN! That is one very important lesson my father passed onto me. I am a true believer in the statement and I know my limits. That being said... Has anyone taken the cam locks apart for cleaning and put them back together successfully? I have searched the...

    ATX - in salt and fresh water MY EXPERIENCE

    The weakest point IMO with the ATX is that silt and ocean salt become a binding problem not only between the sliding shafts but within the cam locks. At least there will be no corrosion issues. Silt and ocean salt has caused binding in just a couple of hours. So much to the point two rubber...

    Bottomless Beach Boats?

    I have found several dozen of these "bottomless boats" and like Mat have not found anyone that has the answer as to WhazIt. I did cut and paste Mat's posting from our club's website. He did such a fine job in both the write up and photo. The only bit of information I can add to Mat's is that I...
