Pairadiceau &1515art Thank you 2 for the comradery & hospitality in getting me behind the controls of a New Garrett Axiom 👍⛏️🤠😎. Had the pleasure this weekend of getting a hands on experience to gain an initial opinion on the latest design. Absolutely more time is warranted in my book to spend on the Axiom 🤔👍😁

If u can't fix it with a 🔨 hammer, it must be an electrical problem 👍👍👍🤣

Interesting reading here 🤔🧐.

I have never in 16 years of detecting gold nuggets with a P. I. OR VLF detector used either machine without Taping the cover onto the coil. Basically to keep any contaminants especially Black sands out of the space between coil and cover. 👍 And after a couple of outings wether needed or not I would strip the old tape from perimeter empty out any debris in-between coil and cover and retape. It's a "must do" if your serious about top performance from any machine VLF or PI. To go a step further with this I would say that's the fastest way to insure "interference and poor performance" in detectors is to use without Taping covers on coils to keep contaminants out Besides turning a detector on Inside of a building 🤣.

U need a BAZooka !

U need a BAZooka !

My Condolences to the Family.

It's really amazing how this "Trade, passion, hobby, interest, whatever you'd like to call our infatuations with chasing Gold, minerals etc. Draws people together from all over the country and globe. Chasing Gold an Meteorites has to be one of the most enjoyable things I ever pursued in my lifetime that's MHO ⛏️🤠🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇

Best Wishes and a speedy comeback for you 👍

Darn good sales point 3 year Warr.

Reading and following along here as I'm fairly illiterate on the tech aspects of the "wireless" connections but learning. This leaves me 🤔 wondering if the Axiom wireless system will be handicapped even more severely with a control box cover in use ???? Has anyone tried it with a cover on ? 🙈🧐🤔

Wow, what a simple and oh so important tip to know 👍🧐 It's ez to see how being "new" with the detector a person could immediately begin to believe there's a problem with the equipment 😳😎 Elementary Watson 😁 such a valuable piece of knowledge 🤠🎯👍.

Did u test it out yet 👍🤣

That looks like a fantastic gift 🎁 for my Great Nephews they have a sandplay area so it would be Purr-fect ⛏️👍

Good post fun to read. Nice haul, did you run into "Major Tom" ? 🙈 I asked because it looks like you contacted "Ground Control" 🤔.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Under the spoon on the left, looks like a ground rod wire clamp 😁. Sorry for the "dry" sense of humor I inherited it from my Dad 🧐🤣

Spoke with Doc not long ago he told me Congestive Heart Failure was getting the best of him. 😔

RIP Jimmy "Doc" 😔 Your storytelling was a pleasure I will always remember.

Thank you 👍

Steve in the pics of you swinging the Axiom on the piles was that the largest coil or the mid sized on the Axiom ?

Nice Beeping 🤠.

Seabee Ron you look puzzled by my remark ? If so The 1st picture is a Special made by a Co. In Santa Monica that's why I said it 🤠. Nutn but the truth ! 🤠
