  1. Don't know what to say Gazza, but pretty disappointing! There is not a lot of feedback in Australia good or bad, I can't work it out, there has to be plenty out and about by now?

    Haven't seen Gone Bush on here for a long time. He did plenty of testing and good reports and was very helpful. Hope you get it sorted out soon, but these things can take a long time.

     

  2. I meant to say I did hear there was another in the same area with same compliant. But wasn't talking to them myself. I was full of confidence and then got very disappointed.

    Will have another go next year with a 6000. I know they have had there problems too. But better now, should be even more problems ironed out by next year.

    Cheers

  3. I use the WR-1 with ear buds. Sometimes the sound will drop out, due to my body parts getting the way. Does anyone know were in the Axiom the transmitter is situated? Underneath the arm cuff or in the head unit? maybe Steve can answer this?

    Just so I can get the WR-1 in it's best position. have tried in my pocket (on the same side as detector) on my belt, have even thought of mounting it on my upper arm where it would maybe stay more in line. But it's not a huge problem.

     

     

  4. Thanks Steve, I did try the 13" DD coil but found it a bit heavy, I'll have to make up a bungy cord for it, not ready to buy a smaller DD yet. Got to learn the machine more yet. I did play with settings a fair bit, the 7000 doesn't play up at all same area. but yes, different machines. I was pretty disappointed, but I'll get it.

    Will be out again about 4 weeks. And yes, there were two different rocks don't know what you would call them but two different rocks if you could call one of them a rock more like clumps ant bed and maybe been through a fire? this one the 7000 will get sometimes.

    Otherwise, happy.

  5. Used the Axiom for the first-time last week, in Georgetown area North Queensland Australia. Happy with machine, but no gold! I was frustrated with the amount of hot rocks and ground noise, this was when using tracking off. The ground balance values were staying pretty constant, no big changes when moving along. So tried auto tracking slow, med, and fast all helped but I was worried I could track a target out. Started out with sensitivity of three and slowly worked up to 4 and 5 machine ran quit smooth at these settings. Normal mode seemed a bit smoother again.

    So what I am trying to say is how better to deal with hot rocks and ground noise? I do like the Axiom but not trusting it yet. Any clues please.

    PS meant to so was mainly in Fine mode and trying Normal but mainly in Fine.

    Is it possible to pair wireless earbuds directly to the Axiom for hot weather use? Or is the wr-1 and corded earbuds the only/best option?

    Not sure if the wireless earbuds will work, I haven't any to try. I 'm using the WR-1 with wired, liking the set up but haven't been out on the gold yet for a hunt.

    Hey guys I was our this weekend at gold eye claim in Quartzsite AZ was using the mono that came with the kit there were guys with GM1000's and 1 GPX6000  both were killing it with small nuggets I couldn't even pickup what they were finding and the Garrett was noisy no matter what I did grant it i didn't know about the gb window only the standard pump and hold button until it beeped also my head phones keep disconnecting and picking up noise unless I'm right next to head of detector. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but the first time I took it out with another friend who has an Axiom and we both found multiple target at the 1.grain size could the noise and loss of sensitivity be from the gm100's and the GPX6000 please help im ready to send it back to see if there's an issue

    Just a thought did you try a noise cancel with the other detectors close by? What settings did you try? Sounds like interference.

    I would like to know, I haven't been out yet, just trying at home with lots of EMI but can still get the machine quiet, but only on sens. 2 can still pick up a very small target 0.056gr. Any higher sens. and machine becomes unstable due to the high EMI. This is with the Mono coil.

    I went down the road away from the houses to a skate park to give the machine a try. Well! I could not quieten the machine down at all, not a chance on my small test bit, the coil didn't like the ground at all no matter what I did. Then I had a look around, there was some sort of tower up on the hill, streetlights with underground power and cameras! So went 200meters down the road, the nearest houses about 200meters away. And machine ran beautifully on sens. up to 5/6. And I thought that there was something wrong with the machine at the other spot.

    Re the headphones I did find if I looked over my right shoulder they would drop out for some reason? Not sure where the transmitter is in the Axiom or wear the receiver is in the headphones, so got to have another look at that.

  8. What's happened? the talk on the Axiom I mean, it's gone quiet on here and in oz. I know it's off season but there must be a few out there now. I have had a little play with one and like it. And about to buy.

    But I suppose if the Axiom was giving any trouble it would soon be out there, wouldn't it?

    Cheers all.

    Peter,

    Garrett Australia are going to order some WR-1’s for local sales.
    $165.00 plus postage.
    I have ordered two and put you down for one.
    Email and tell them you are ‘Peter from Far North Queensland’ and to put your name on the list so you don’t miss out 👍

    Good thank you will do 😀
