I don’t think the Orx is gong to have much impact in the gold prospecting world but it looks like it’s going to be a popular option for general purpose detecting. I basically like what I see. It’s funny how it’s tempting to jump on a new model when I don’t actually need one.

It finds if you are on the correct grounds.......This is my second round starting in 2020...... Last year's finds help me buy a GPX 4500 from Rob's inventory ...... But still use the XP ORX a lot.......

Light as a feather, lightening fast.ive had my orx for about 2 months now, i liked the price point and how easy it is to use with the deus dna..it really is an impressive machine, it does punch deep sometimes surprisingly deep..and finds the tiniest of targets, loves silver..did i mention its ridiculous light?

Hola chicos, compré un xp Orx, estaba buscando pepitas de oro, tuve muchos problemas con las rocas calientes, no pude resolverlo ... ¿algún consejo? ... Hice pruebas en el terreno con una pepita de 0.3gr y observé que con altas frecuencias 30 y 70 era muy inestable, muchas señales ... Tuve que poner en modo dorado, frecuencia de 13 kHz, modo sal y reactividad 2.5 para poder detectar sin tantas señales, les dejo algunas fotos de los hallazgos,

Good gold finds brother, the only way to really avoid hot rocks is by lowering the sensitivity  lower and lower........ and if the ground is too hot move to a pulse induction......

If you are even thinking about the orx just get it, this little machine is a beast. Ive had it for about 3 months now and man it surprises me more and more. Its super fast, deeper then i thought it would be, the weight is almost not real. And to be honest im pulling targets that my equinox missed, im not gonna say 100 percent that my nox missed them perhaps i didnt get my coil over the target but, on a site i have that i take all of my machines to it is finding new targets.my equinox opened this site that i have pounded withother machines and now this little monster orx has opened it again..i really believe the orx is a sleeper..if its a machine you are on the fence about, get it..

I really like the Orx, I wish I could use it at high frequencies 30 or 70khz but I don't know why it gets very unstable with wet soils, ID 99 95 as I go deeper the sound disappears.  so i think khz is a lot of marketing they say that a gold detector has to be high frequency when detectors like the Garrett at gold and the Orx at low frequencies can find very small nuggets without any problem ...

I use the ORX in 74Khz and in 30.4 Khz for shallow ground.. and yes it works, but at a maximum of 6-8 inches on small gold !

If you want to go deeper than 8-12 inches and detect a small nugget ie. a .20 to .50 deeper than 8" inches you have to go to something better like a 4500 ....... or for real small gold .07 to .10 then something real sensitive like a gold monster 1000 .....

Maybe the ground where I detect is not suitable for high frequencies.  I thought of a 4500 but where I detect it is very high 4500 to 5000mts and complicated topography with bushes and rocks that would not allow me.  handle a large and heavy detector.

i like those detectors, you have a good investment.  I am going to investigate the frequencies and the types of soil

Look at some of my videos...... I climb up and down several 4,000 feet mountains in a day ...... Way up ....

excellent video!!!  I detect in the Andes mountain range, yesterday I returned from a 3-day trip, during the night -18c and during the day 4c, a lot of white wind, it is 3hs walking to the place every gram of weight counts hahaha.  A 4,500 used in Argentina costs 4,000 to 4,400 dollars and a basic salary is around 450 dollars, very far from the budget 😞

Old video
