Norvic Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Just back from a mission and had a wee problem with the head/LCD trying to part ways with handle, seems to be held in by a wad of silastic/silicone. (as per photo) This happened during travel in my overhead cushioned detector tray built into my Troop Carriers original 1986 model to current Troopy. The detector is still working AOK and will not be returned for warranty claim at least until end of 23 season, instead whilst back in my workshop will construct a bracket to hold head/LCD more securely. I also have been reassessing my judgment of its performance vs the 6K and now am of the opinion there is nothing between them, whereas before I have considered the 6K has a slight edge. I believe this is because I have through experience with settings obtaining better depth and sensitivity than when I made my first judgement. Am very impressed with its performance particularly amongst creek rocks where there is a considerable air gap between coil and ground. Please as this threads author I am not interested in this developing into a negative Garret or Manufacturers Bashing Thread. The Axiom is a positive gold magnet magic detector. 8 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 What a pain, it's great to hear you're really liking the machine though and it sounds pretty impressive to get such positive feedback from you. Interesting way to mount it to the handle though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norvic Posted August 14, 2023 Author Share Posted August 14, 2023 Nah no pain at all, duct tape fixes all or in this case narrower insulation tape...... the Axiom soldiered on. Love it👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtman Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 If u can't fix it with a 🔨 hammer, it must be an electrical problem 👍👍👍🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norvic Posted August 15, 2023 Author Share Posted August 15, 2023 Dont think it was the ride, maybe the taipan the Axiom had to subdue on the way😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
