  1. I hunted saltwater beaches for years with that setup. It was great because I could cover the entire strip of wet sand with one sweep and not lose too much depth…
  2. Garrett Direct was offering 20% off during their Black Friday sale. That put the Axiom at less than $3,200 with free shipping. However, that’s still double the price of a top tier VLF. Does a PI machine really cost that much more to manufacture?
  3. Congratulations, a true blast from the past! Those old White’s big box detectors were built like tanks and seemed to last forever. White’s vintage analog VDI meters were more stable than some of the jumpy digital displays of today.
  4. Surf hunters would love to see a neutral buoyancy 12” spider coil for the Axiom.
  5. I would like to see Garrett borrow the script from Nokta and XP by lowering MAP for the Axiom to $2,099. At that price point I believe they would open a whole new market for salt water beach and relic hunters. It would also provide Garrett a clear advantage over other gold prospecting PI detectors currently on the market. When the White’s TDI Pro/SL were no longer available it left a gap in that segment of the market that still exists today. IMHO, Garrett needs to grow market share and a lot of consumers will simply not pull the trigger at the $3,995 price point.
  6. Also, the very last SL model was painted a tan color (supposedly to help with solar load) and used a straight shaft instead of the too short s-shaft. I believe that model was also shipped with a third party elliptical coil.
  7. It is my understanding that the software update for the Legend enables a faster connect/disconnect with the Bluetooth headphones, facilitating a closer to seamless experience when using the Accupoint.
  8. If you look carefully at the close-up photo of the LCD color screen above, you will see the outline of a screen protector that’s already attached from the factory… I didn’t have any issues with my screen scratching during the Beta testing.
  9. Congrats on the purchase! The V3i is one of the most underrated machines out there. The target analysis capabilities were way ahead of their time… Kind of makes the advanced 2D Target ID on my Manticore look primitive.
  10. All I want to know is where I can get that GPZ for 200 bucks 🤑
  11. Not allowed to say due to the NDA 😉
  12. I wonder if the Accupoint will be able connect to the headphones at the same time the Legend is connected? Most Bluetooth headphones can only pair to one device at a time.
  13. The Garrett Carrot and now the Nokta Banana 😄. I can’t wait for it’s release and to try this pinpointer out… If it’s anything like the Legend it will be great!
  14. I did a major equipment upgrade this summer. As part of that, I sold my Pro Find 35 and bought a 40. The PF 40 is more stable, has stronger audio and slightly more depth than the 35 that I had. The rapid retune feature works great and was a glaring omission on the 35. Also, you can now turn the sensitivity up to max and wave it around indoors without it going crazy. Long term durability remains to be seen, but then again, I didn’t have any issues with my 35. The PF 40 is not a significant update over the 35. It’s very evolutionary NOT revolutionary. Much like the Equinox 800 evolving to the 900, Minelab addressed some shortcomings and refined things a bit.
  15. Great combo with the MXT Pro running the Detech Arrow, very smooth and stable… You can cover an entire open field in a fraction of the time compared to the standard coil.
