My 800's Maiden Voyage

[Dan(NM)]

I took my EQ to an old high school that I've been hunting for the last few years to see what the Nox could do. I started off in park 1 and the very first target was a solid 13 within 3 minutes, turned out to be a 1912 V-nickle at close to 5", I did my happy dance and knew this was going to be a fun machine. First impressions, of course, light, very fast and the responses left no doubt when you hit a good target. I'm not 100% sold on the sound of the wireless head phones, I think I'll end up using my Killer B's when I find the adapter for the WM08  I'll say this, nickles lock on 13 solid. I ended up with a double nickle trifecta, first time for me. 2 V-nickles, 2 buffs and 2 Jefferson's came out within the first  hour.  I found that customizing is very easy on fly if you can remember what the advanced settings do. I love that I can adjust the tones and the breaks much like my CTX and it's very easy to do so. Overall, I feel like it was worth all the waiting and can't wait to get a better grasp of what this machine can really do after a few more outings.  I did dig a 9" wheat, the numbers bounced, but, I did get a repeatable high tone, very impressive!!

I'm somewhat handicapped when it comes to relating what I'm thinking and being able to articulate it. If you have a question, fire away.

Very nice first hunt!  The Equinox looks like it’s going to be a  Nickel Monster!

It loves small tiny stuff at depth, I chased a few tiny items at first just to see what it was. I started cherry picking after that.

Nice start Dan.

Thanks for sharing.

Likes little stuff.

I'll second that.  But it gives ID usually letting one know.

I could see a relic hunter loving this machine, the response in iron is very impressive. There's no doubt when you hit a nonferrous target. I'm used to the slow recovery of the CTX, this thing is instantaneous!!
