  1. Chris was nice enough to take me out to some old areas he has stomped in the past, and I figured it would be a good test for the Garrett ATX. Chris had mentioned they were some of the worse mineralized areas he has hunted in California. It was just a day trip so not a huge amount of time. Initially it was the typical bullets, shell casings, and steel trash. The ATX handled the conditions with flying colors, running at max gain and ground balancing easily on the soil. Only the very worst location gave the faintest of ground signals, but not enough for me to back the gain off. It was really nice to get out since I have been busy visiting family the last month and now getting ready to leave for Alaska. So thank you very much Chris! The day was topped of we the ATX banging a couple nuggets within a couple feet of each other just before quitting time. I admit I was a bit surprised to see gold at that point! The largest is 1.45 grams and the smaller 0.48 grams.
