Garrett ATX ? Recon ? Infinium? Coils

[Steve Herschbach]

Hello Dan,

Sorry so late to reply. We were out prospecting "off the grid" with no internet access for a few days.

This is from my page at http://www.detectorprospector.com/gold-prospecting-equipment/garrett-atx-metal-detector-accessories.htm and is the answer I got specifically direct from Garrett:

"The ATX can be operated with Infinium DD coils. Performance with Infinium DD coils should be normal but is not guaranteed. The ATX cannot be operated with Infinium mono coils or any other Garrett coil other than ATX coils and Infinium DD coils. Recon Pro coils will not work on the ATX. The Recon Pro is not the same machine electronically, even though it looks similar. Use of any coil other than ATX coils and Infinium DD coils, including the use of 3rd party coils, will void the warranty."

 

"will not work" does not mean it may not seem to work if plugged in, but runs a risk of damaging the detector.

Thanks for the info ,I just got back from long weekend in the feather river area no goodies this weekend anyways the 5 x 10 you have used? If so how does it perform? I'm not against that idea for the river area but think I will stick to the 8 in mono for the r patch witch is next weekend .anyways the info on the performance of the 5 x 10 would be helpful.

Thanks Dan
