A man always needs a good backup.
I will tell ya this...I've not had a chance to look at the ATX in person yet. But I've owned the Infinium, TDI, TDI Pro, GPX 4500 & 5000. I was honestly surprised in the lack of sensitivity to smaller gold; 1 gram and smaller especially. My 5000 came with both the 11" mono and DD coil though...but I relic & coin hunt...don't gold prospect with detectors. I did play with the mono coil while I had it and I still wasn't impressed with the super fine gold ability of the 5000. I do gold prospect; mostly with a dredge or sluice box. Our gold is very small...if you find a half gram picker here, you done extremely well. Where the pulse machines come into play for me, is the ability to see through this harsh red "iron dirt" we have here. Since this is a gold bearing area, we have the highly mineralized soil that comes with it...except the stuff I choose to hunt are mostly relics.
You might have covered this in a previous video, but I have a question regarding the discrimination and or iron check. Are those two different features, or one in the same? I tried to watch your video of the discrimination capabilities of the ATX, but I have a slow connection and the video kept starting and stopping so I couldn't watch it all. What I did see, is that running the discrimination on it, lowered the depth quite a bit on the objects I saw. If the iron check feature is different...that would mean a person could run the discrimination @ nearly nothing, and then just use the iron check to break the signal up if its iron. If that's the case, I would almost buy one tomorrow. I can't afford a GPX again but I liked the iron breakup it does with the DD coils on iron.
