A mono coil on the ATX will probably get you same depth as TDI. I doubt if ATX will detect deeper than the AQ even with a mono coil. I want to see a head to head comparrison between ATX and TDIBH. There is no video out there.Can anyone make a video about this?? ATX mono coil VS TDIBH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewcon4414 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 There are so many variables ..... person, machine and conditions when it comes to depth. My hopes is we get a deeper machine in the water........AND it can actually ID and disc. at near the same depth. Some one want to do some real testing....... bury that gold ring in the salt water about waist deep....... lets see what ya get. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we have have so much real world performance data on the AQ vs. the ATX... You may eventually be proven right, but right now we know practically nothing about real world performance of AQ with in the hands of an average detectorist vs. any established PI with the exception of a few posted edited videos. Better than we had before Rick got his production unit, but still scant real world performance data, nevertheless. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he hunts in the water with most, not just the wet sand. I think the same.Have seen all of his videos and he seems to be a very nice guy with honest testing everything.I thing as well that he is a very good candidate to test an AQ!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 On 1/15/2020 at 5:08 PM, PPP said: Its hard to believe that TDIBH beat the ATX in depth.Do you mean by ATX large coil 12inch coil or the big deepseeker? i have both and used both in wet sand and in saltwater.The big deepseeker(20x15 i think) is constantly overload in the water and you have to push the reset button all the time to calm it down.I have seen a lot of TDIBH videos, but didnt see deep targets recovered with it.Unfortunatly there isnt any comparisson video regarding TDIBH vs ATX On the ATX the coil was the 12” one......also to add to my post, the depths the ring was found at were; 1. 18” for the TDIBH 2. 17” for the Deepstar 3 3. 16” for the SD2100 4. 15” for the ATX........and still quite noisy in the salty sand. The TDIBH isn’t running any more power / current to the coil than the Deepstar or SD but the very smooth threshold on the Whites allows the faintest signals to be heard. This test was done by another person burying the ring at 18” in an area of 10m x 10m as well as having another area of the same size with nothing buried in it (both zones were then raked flat). Operators were told there was a ring in one of the set areas but not in the other (unknown to the operators which zone had the ring). 5 minutes was allocated to each area. The ATX left both areas looking like it had been carpet bombed. Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPP Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 Those two , three films out there showing AQ in action only in wet sand. I am a water hunter and its beome a little bit hesitating if AQ can be used like my other machins in the water? I'm not seeking a diving machine cause i dont dive only wading in shallow water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewcon4414 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Tony I’m curious.... if the ring was buried at a specific depth did you keep moving to get the depth of each? I ask that because if a target is buried say at 10” just raising the coil doesn’t necessarily equal depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 We reduced the buried target depth at 1” increments.....it sure took some time to do ! Started out at 18” buried depth and then worked our way down to 15” where the ATX found the target. Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Just curious myself Tony ATX vs TDIBH. Are we talking ground balance on or off on the TDI? If it was ground balance off, was the ATX set up properly for ground balance neutral? Having run both there should be no digging false targets with the ATX... something was off with the tuning. If anything a quieter, smoother threshold is obtainable with an ATX. Garrett Atx Vs Minelab GPX 5000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
