phrunt Posted February 15, 2023 Author Share Posted February 15, 2023 I forgot the ATX used a similar design as I've paid next to no attention to the ATX, it's good they've given a name to the design as it appears to be Garrett exclusive, never seen a coil like that on any other detector, with the hundreds of GPX coils available nobody seems to have copied the design and used it on anything else.

Steve Herschbach Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 No worries I’m just being a whiner As long as the info gets out one way or the other that’s all that counts, and simple reality now it’s mostly YouTube, Facebook, Instagram etc that people look to for information.

hawkeye Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I can understand YouTube it's a video and can be informative. But Facebook I see no logic in the way it is laid out or used, and Instagram seems to have no real value other than wasting a few hours of your life. Yeah, I'm old.

Norvic Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Steve, your posts were absorbed before the $s were laid down, in particular my ears pricked on your use of the DDS, monos were preferred on PIs for a lot of us as you mentioned. More to follow once I`ve got my Axiom wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheppo Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 That explains why the Axiom I was having a go with the other day wanted absolutely nothing to do with the .5g nugget we’d found on the nose or tail of the coil. It was the same in the scoop aswell as in the ground. Not ideal having it use the centre of the coil to reduce a scoop of dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flip the detector or the coil itself to use the scoop on the bottom of the DD coil chasing the smaller bits. If you want edge sensitivity go with the mono coil.

phrunt Posted February 15, 2023 Author Share Posted February 15, 2023 Concentric coil users are already familiar with this style of recoveries, especially on tiny targets, I flip my detector upside down too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do it enough I’m going to put a strip across the top to make it a little less tippy when it rests on top of the pod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RONS DETECTORS MINELAB Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 18 hours ago, phrunt said: Axiom Focused Core (FC) DD Coils This video compares traditional DD and Mono prospecting search coils against the ultra-hot detection of Axiom Focused Core (FC) DD coils. Engineered with a centralized focused core, each Axiom DD search coil exceeds mono coil performance on small gold nuggets. " It would be nice to have some more added edge sensitivity like the flattened bundle wound mono's. Concentric coils always have the better small target sensitivity over mono's but never handled the ground effects as good as the DD coils. So, I like the idea of having a DD coil that can better handle the more mineralized ground effects while working in non smoothing timings, but also having the sensitivity like that of a inner part of a concentric type coil.
