Seems they are legally required to not eliminate emi, that is from my Garrett Axiom owners manual

I think this may be a big obstacle to emi mitigation.

I have a place near me in Central Point, OR. called the Crater Rock Museum, if the people working cant id it they have geologists that will ID rock/mineral samples, you just fill out a short form and leave the sample with them. Then wait for a call, it can take a few weeks. If you have a rock & gem shop near by stop in and ask them, even if they can not id it they probably know who can.

By the way Garrett customer service has been very prompt and helpful so far, they have responded quickly to my questions. I will report back in a couple of weeks after I get my Axiom back.

OK, Thanks. Its probably completely normal. It makes sense that it would change some but when I started really paying attention to everything because of trying to figure out if my threshold issue was operator error or not, I was suprised at how much it varied.

When I change modes on my Axiom and re ground balance in exactly the same spot I noticed that the ground balance numbers change quite a bit, and that the top number was in numerical order but the bottom wasn’t. Here are the numbers with the following settings-sensitivity 3, tracking off, speed slow standing in the same spot on my proprty- Fine-50/27, normal 59/31, large 62/25. I repeated it 5-6 times in 3 different areas & I expected it to change some because of different timings but was suprised at how much it jumped. Also changing sensitivity didnt affect it much, it was always +/- 1 on the top and bottom numbers if it changed at all, that part seems normal to me. I am now more curious about this than when I first noticed it because I shipped my Axiom to Garrett today for inspection because no matter where I was or what settings I tried the threshold always had the same “chatter”, not a smooth up/down oscillation but almost a slow morse code sounding random chatter that sounds like noticable but faint targets, the only way it would go away is if sensitivity was lowered to 1 or 2 in ALL settings except salt which I didnt try. This first happened Around my property and I chalked it up to EMI because its there while the coil is stationary or moving and I was like 75 yards from the house but after trying a bunch of spots it was exactly the same everywhere including a 40 mile trip up into the mountains like 25 miles from the nearest power lines or civilization to test it, same exact “chatter”. Now im starting to wonder if the gb number change is related somehow? I dont have access to another axiom to compare to so.... My question is if this gb number change is similar on other Axioms? Has anyone else noticed this?

Thanks everyone!

If you are supersticious look at the weight 6.66 Lol!

Thank you. It’s great having so many options, and not being wired to the detector via a headphone cable is sooo nice!

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?

3000m range! Lol!! That should be the first giveaway! It is amazing that simple common sense is so rare now, and how “if its too good to be true it probably is” isn’t heeded very often. By the way 3000m is 1.864 miles to us non metric users😳

Nice find! Great nugget! Cant wait for the rivers to drop and the mud to dry out so I can break in my Axiom, hopefully like you did!

Hi everyone, my name is Chris im 49 and I live in S.W. Oregon, in pocket gold country right in between the Goldrush towns of Jacksonville and Gold Hill. I am into Hunting, Fishing and Hunting for gold! Basically whatever allows me to wander! I have never really been a forum guy, just some after sundown internet time for info and entertainment but not much posting because of all the mess that always seems to go along with the forums. Iv’e been lurking here for a while and I haven’t seen any of that yet here so I joined up! Im not sure how active of a poster ill actually be but am going to give it a try, anyways just checking in with my first post to intoduce myself and say how much I have already enjoyed the great info here!
