Axiom Affected By Vlf?


Recommended Posts

Hi all - new to PI detectors and new to Garrett!

A few weeks ago I purchased an Axiom as my first PI machine. Doing some backyard testing I got a lot of EMI interference so I went out a friend's rural block. As soon as he fired up his Nox 800 the Axiom went crazy.

Is this normal? I figured worst case we just can't be within 10m of each other which is generally fine when detecting anyway.

Is it just PI vs VLF? Or PI vs PI it does this?

Completely normal. 

PI vs PI and PI vs VLF, any combination can do it. 

A PI is not really the type of machine you can use in your backyard either.

You just have to work out a suitable distance you can detect from your friend and stick to it.

quite normal high EMI in the back yard, I can only run sens. 2 in the back yard and very stable at that. Re the nox did you try noise cancelling / tune him out. I haven't been to the gold fields yet or around other detectors running.

I tried to cancel out the Nox but didn't do anything. It's all good. I just tried to backyard as "excited to swing it" thing.
