Steve’s 2022 Australia Adventure, Part 2

[jasong]

Is the Axiom intended to be sort of a 1-off collaboration in the prospecting realm to bring your idea of an ideal prospecting PI to life Steve? Or is Garrett looking at continuing to stay competitive in the prospecting world after the Axiom too?

I know you probably can't answer much, if anything there. But I'd be remiss if I didn't ask anyways. I'd love to see a GPZ competitor designed with same principals, and just with good coils it seems like greatly improved performance is possible if patents don't make such a machine impossible.

Steve don’t just shoot me before you hear me out. 
 I just sent Garrett a email saying how great it would be to have you and Gerry at Garrett’s Memorial hunt in April 2023 .

Chuck, I sent a email to Steve Moore requesting the same, hopefully some other forum members will help out.

well it shows it can find gold at Tibooburra as well, did you just try on the common or other spots as well around the surrounding area

That's not too bad, I was just reading another guys report from Tibooburra, he just spent a week there, found 4 with the 6000 and 1 with the 7000, the bigger bit with the 7000.   All not much different in size to those bits except the 7000 bit was about double the size I guess and his 6000 bits were similar to yours.  Said he won't be going back, getting too hard now to make it worth the trip.

Commons area next to town. Couple more bits for me today so far. The newbies are scoring. Garrett CEO Steve Novakovich found his very first gold nugget yesterday, and Marketing VP Steve Moore his very first today. I’m slightly favoring the 11” modified DD over the mono for chasing the tiny bits, though it’s a close call.

Now look what you've done, you've gone and got them hooked!  ?

Garrett’s goal is to remain relevant and competitive in the metal detector industry in all areas, now and in the future. I have no idea really if all my lobbying really had anything to do with it or not. I don’t really care; I’m just glad it’s finally happened. It’s just something they are doing, and I’m trying to help. It certainly won’t be the last thing they do. The new detector every ten years thing is dead and gone now.

I love that desert country around Tibooburra Steve, great picture of the Granite outcrop there, glad you having a great trip
