Sergio, you were right on the money, once I’ve tightened the connection, my ATX worked like a boss. Thanks

Well, thank you all for the kind inputs. In regard to the batteries charge, this sophisticated device notifies me upon switching the power on that batteries are fully charged by the extra beeps and by the way I was detecting for hours and no low battery sign popped up. Back home, l removed the rod and discovered a tiny looseness of the coil’s connector (the coil is a 10X12 original without any damage, l love and take care of my baby) , so I did tighten it and cleaned all before setting it back together. I observed a transformer room on the side of the road along with couple power lines but I was more than 100 feet away from these and the loud interference noise was still persisting. Provided I had not been back to this particular field, I’m now gearing up for another site in a different town, so let’s hope and see if the problem was simply a passenger issue. Cordially

Good day to all, I just secured a georgous authorization in a vine field, but as I started detecting this morning, my AXT began to act erratically although there are no overhead power lines or any approximate energy sources! I distanced myself to the adjacent field to see if the issue will dissipate but the problem persisted. I had no other choice than lowering the sensitivity to 0, which made me lose plenty of targets. Did anyone encountered such issue and is there a fix besides pushing the reset bottom which by the way had not made any significant difference. Thanks in advance

You are right, this might be the cause but pieces of the plastic shim is falling and the rod close to the coil can go out fully when unfolded. I just hope that Garrett can have such spare parts. Thanks though

Good day everyone, firstly, I thank you for admitting me in your forum. I purchased the Garrett ATX and moved to France, this machine is super precise in detecting relics which forgives its massive weight after five or six hours of operation! Lately I discovered some difficulty in fully retracing the rods at the end of my search, and it looks that some of the black plastic tensioning shim/plate is broken between the shaft and the rods assembly. Did anyone encounter similar failure/issue? And can I still use the machine as is? I searched the web for spare parts but I couldn’t find anything. Please help, thank you
