- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ต.ค. 2024
- Join with Warren, Greckie and Phil on a 2,000km road trip to the NSW outback with the new Garrett AT Max International. Before heading off, we pick up some nice 'micro-nuggets' in the Central Victorian Goldfields using the optional 5 x 8" DD searchcoil. Please note that 'live' digs are generally edited for brevity, and the gale force winds prevailing around Tibooburra at the time. Thanks for watching and subscribing and Happy Fossicking! Warren, Greckie and Phil.
That’s an amazing machine. It has target identification for coin, hunting jewellery hunting, and it has all metal/threshold modes like a classic gold hunter…It is all types of prospecting. I’m buying one of !!
Great video and good to see mates helping each other in the bush.
Thanks for watching and commenting Wayne - Happy Fossicking mate! Warren.
Love your videos. Some gorgeous finds. And GOLD! Get the fever! That old stamper was massive. It needs to be reinforced and sheltered. Of course, the dry outback air doesn't rust stuff as much as other places would.GL and HH
Thanks for your great comment - we love showing that old infrastructure in the bush - all the best and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
A bit off the subject but I used to have the Garrett groundhog and swept the back garden with the kids no end of time. Bought the AT Max Int and within 20 mins I had found 6 coins that the old Garrett never picked up. Off the topic but I highly recommend the AT max int for the auto GB it has. So easy and quick.
looks like we have a Minelab contender....cant believe the AT Max is finding such small nuggets! Nice hunt thx for sharing.
Thanks for watching and commenting - all the best and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
Another very interesting, exciting and informative video Warren. The places you show us are beautiful and the history makes it even more special. I like most of us love gold shame I don't stand a chance of finding some so to watch you find it was a real treat. Good luck Watten and Colleen, take care and happy fossicking Mary-Ellen UK
Thanks for your great comment Mary-Ellen. We always try and make the time to respond to comments, since you took the time to watch our video and pass on feedback. We do appreciate your continued long term support of our channel! All the very best and Happy Fossicking! Warren and Colleen.
Nice video Warren, I cant believe how small those nuggets are. I cant wait to use it!!!
Thanks for commenting Ben - Happy Fossicking mate! Warren.
Warren nice detecting mate. Greckie and I have done that dam wall numerous times over the years. The AT Max looks like a great detector. I am going to order one myself for relics and gold. It was a shame that I could not have joined you at Tibooburra but I was away at that time. Next time for sure. Cheers Chris
Thanks for commenting Chris - I will be back down your way next year for several trips - hope to catch up then. Cheers and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
Brother, that will be a great series of videos when you run all that material through a wash plant.
Love the vid Warren most informative and the max seems to be a winner in all environments.Very sensitive machine on the fine gold, should do well at Warwick 😃👍🏻
I guess you just demonstrated that the AT Max can find some really small nuggets. I just bought one, although I didn't buy for prospecting I might have to give it a go. Thanks for the video.
Fantastic job. Great finds and no reason not to subscribe. So I did and look forward to more videos with the Max. Dying to get my hands on one. GL&HH
Thanks for your comment and subscription Chris - Happy Fossicking mate! Warren.
Thanks Mate, I enjoyed the video. Thinking about purchasing an AT Max in the next month. Bob Firth
I would really enjoy seeing a comparison between the AT Max and AT Gold for gold prospecting. For relic hunting right now I still like my AT Gold better.
I just got my at max I'm from UK 🇬🇧can you give me the settings for relics please thanks
No worries Stephen, we usually set the Max to CUSTOM, with all notches in and then just set the IRON DISC to 25-30, and adjust to conditions. In some cases you may want to find iron relics, you can just hit the IRON AUDIO to hear the discriminated iron. Just don't lean too hard on the discrimination your first time on a new site, and adjust to the conditions. Hope this helps mate. Happy Fossicking! Warren.
I sure enjoyed that one Warren thanks.
Gods own country Warren, hope to get up there next year. Fingers crossed.
Absolutely mate, hope you get up there - still plenty of gold around! Happy Fossicking! Warren.
Grats on finding some Gold.. Great video.. GL & HH

Excellent display of how well the new AT Max works on tiny gold Warren. Though I wonder how far down before the AT Max would miss them in the Victorian goldfields. With the AT Max at 13.6 kHz wouldn't the AT Gold (18 kHz) or the XP Deus HF (15 ~55 kHz) find flakes that size just slightly deeper because of their higher frequencies? This is a serious question before I make my final purchase decision.
AT Gold with the 8.5" x 11 "coil will find deeper nuggets , and Gold Bug 2 with its 6 1/2" coil is even better for small nuggets , and would detect bigger nuggets that were around 6-8"
Simon, I didn't ask about finding bigger nuggets. I asked if the other 2 detectors I mentioned (AT GOLD and XP Deus HF) would find that same small 0.25 gram nugget at 4:30 slightly deeper because of their higher frequency.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. Very good technical questions you pose there. I am not familiar with Deus and how it performs on mineralisation, but I am with AT Gold and AT Max. Yes AT Max operates at a lower frequency, but with much more power than AT Gold, combined with 175 points of GB as opposed to 99, which means Max can be better tuned to the soil (particularly with a side-balancing technique which opens up the Auto GB window). As you would know, there are so many variables in prospecting for gold in the bush that no absolutes can be stated. Keep up your technical research and you will come up with the best detector for your uses. Bear in mind though that VLF does have limitations and eventually, ground conditions may dictate using pulse, depending on where you are working. Happy Fossicking! Warren.
Thank you Warren.
I will be working the Golden Triangle of Victoria, but mainly south west of Ballarat around all the old diggings. Smythesdale, Linton, Happy Valley, etc. These areas have been heavily detected for many years by PI machines and I want to use a VLF to look for the smaller gold that the PI's often miss in heavily detected areas. Keep up the great tutorial videos. They are much appreciated. Cheers. Ken.
Sounds like a great plan Ken, just keep in mind that if you go for the AT Max, I would highly recommend the 5 x 8" DD accessory coil (as per the AT Gold) as you would probably find that the stock 11.5" would be too large for effective detection of the tiny nuggets hidden in the old mullock heaps. With the great discrimination capabilities of the Max, you should do well there. Cheers mate. Warren.
Nice !1 big like from Italy 👍
SUCESSO sempre
.desejo a você toda a sorte do mundo e muitas conquistas e prosperidades sempre sucesso
.Deixando aquele GIGA LIKEEE 👍🏼🇧🇷
Great video. How much was the max did you get it in Australia thanks.
Thanks for commenting Len - these AT Max units were test units sent to us for evaluation in Australian conditions. The AT Max should be available from your Garrett Australia dealer in the next few weeks. Cheers mate and Happy Fossicking! Warren.
Hello, great video. Could you please explain to me what general configuration do you put on the AT Max to find gold nuggets? Also could you tell me if the coil is the 5"x8" inch one? Thank you
Says 5x8 dd
Nice mate! Cheers and No Drama!
Thanks Miguel, Happy Fossicking mate! Warren.
hi mate is that the at max international or the amarican model i did not think they where available in aussie regards from newcastle.
Robert Beer This is the AT Max International. I have been field testing it here in Australia. It should be available for sale in a few weeks. Just check with your nearest Garrett Australia dealer. Cheers. Warren.
Great video.
Thanks for your comment - Happy Fossicking! Warren.
Hi ,i want search Nuggets in the River what is the best Setting for the Garrett AT Max???
Hi Warren, which unit would you choose: the AT Max or the ATX? Thanks
G'day Don and Marg and thanks for watching our video. Your question cannot be answered easily as AT Max and ATX are very different beasts. AT Max being VLF with all the discrimination capabilities, and ATX being Pulse Induction, designed for very highly mineralised soils (the down side being pulse does not allow accurate discrimination and identification like a VLF). It will really depend on where you intend prospecting and the levels of mineralisation, professional level VLF machines like AT Max can cope with most soil situations, but some areas do need PI detectors such as ATX, to successfully penetrate the mineralisation with good depth and hit the gold. PI machines will generally run much quieter than VLF in highly mineralised soils, but you do lose your discrimination capabilities. Hope this helps! Happy Fossicking! Warren.
Woah nice, some Day i will visit you with my Partner from Austria.
Thanks for watching and commenting - hope to see you again in Italy next year! Happy Fossicking! Warren and Colleen.
I hope so 2 . Next big Rallys are England and Holland for me :-)
So when in the goldfields looking for nuggets do you use all metal mode ? And can someone plz explain the diffence between all metal mode and zero mode ?
G'day, what mode were you running in please, cheers, Andy.....?
Andy AT Max was in 'All Metal' mode for the detection of the tiny nuggets. None of the Discriminate modes (including 'Zero') - could detect the tiny 0.05gm pieces. Happy Fossicking mate! Warren.
Thanks Warren, not sure there's many nuggets in the UK, but thanks for the info, just picked up a ATmax, All the best mate! :-)
Outstanding!
THUMBS UP ENJOYED THE VIDEO
I have not seen no big nuggets from the at max yet wy
