Hi,
I have been using a new Garrett ATX a few days now and did a big write up on it at http://www.findmall.com/read.php?96,1983695
As part of that I went wading at Lake Tahoe testing how the detector handles black sands and hot rocks. No issues at all to report there, the ATX just ground balanced it all out and made no sound unless a target was under the coil. I got my first gold ring in the process, 14K with five little 1/10th carat diamonds.

Depth of the ring was nothing exceptional, just a scoop deep. Got a handful of change and when hunting beach typical beach trash and a couple earrings, cheap jewelry type. Nothing momentous to report. The ATX ran clean as can be with no issues. But needless to say I was real happy getting a nice ring on my first water outing with it!

.I liked the part about how a guy who hunts by ear should have no problem adjusting to the ATX..
