Just came back from a 3 hour drive after collecting a metal detector from Herberton Qld. Was advertised for sale on Marketplace. Long drive, but good detector.

My 1984 first Garrett PI Detector a Sea-Hunter XL 500, a decade before my SD 2000 became available. No motion detection, No GB, so useless on black sand ocean beaches and gold prospecting. Found many a piece of gold jewellery in the ocean and beaches. Sea-Hunter for the sea, Axiom for land.

Not reluctant to give my opinion on the Garrett Axiom, but since very few people use their PI detectors for beach hunting there don't seem much point in expend to much time in doing so. PI detectors are my preferred choice on many salt water beaches. The Garrett Axiom is very capable, it also...

I do not think the 13" coils were available in Australia. Spoke to a Garrett importer/distributor years ago, he had never seen one. Anyone that might have one would have imported one themselves. Replace the NiCad cells with NiMH cells they work better.

If it don't work there will be no harm in taking it apart to have a look.

Coils I use on both the ATX and Infinium LS.

If the people that drive EV's have a complaint, I'll listne/read about it in order to learn. As for those that complain about EV's without having/driving one, , , that be your worry. Yes, I drive an EV Van.

Obtained and installed a new circuit board, all is well.

Many times I've used a few drops of vinegar or lemon juice on the corroded contact points, then little sprinkle of baking soda. It will fizz for a minute, then clean with a small soft haired art paint brush dipped in warm water. Air or blow dry, then a little spray of INOX. 🍻

Purchased an X3-PI detector from TEMU Australia. Good price and free delivery. Works just like a Whites Dual Field PI, 1/2" less in depth on same 10¢ target. Temu wanted a rewiev and that is what they got. Did not think they would include it, but they did. Someone else in Australia must have...

Recent beach hunt with an older DetectorPro Uni-Probe PI detector. A number of people came to chat, got a few leads. All in all, a pleasant morning on the beach. . 🍻

From an old townsite with lots of history and heaps of left behinds.

Dual field, higher sensitivity within the small coil, lovely coil to use but to noicy on some of our gold fields. Razorback F8. or as some call it "folded mono" I believe Reg.Sniff had something to do with the this coil design, that was started by Razor Back. Higher sensitivity 2/3 down the...

Sent PM ~ Got reply ~ Silver did not get the Surf PI. ? 🍻

Looking for a Whites Surf PI Dual Field, in working condition. 🍻

Attached the new Detech 18"x 4" DD coil to the AT Max and took it for it's first beach hunt/test. This section of beach is mainly used to get from street parking to beach/water area, so free to search in peace. With a sweep area of 18" this coil proved to be just the right size for an area like...

In order to prevent water and very find sand from getting between the coil and cover I use: "Rust-Oleum 340g Black LeakSeal Flexible Rubber Coating Spray"
