I use a rock hammer and chisels all the time when I detect the bedrock on Libby Creek in Montana. There is lots of bedrock and no detector pick is going to get through it. Some nuggets I find in this bedrock have to be retrieved with a hammer and chisel. Some even take 45 minutes to an hour to break enough rock away to get the nugget out. These items always will be in my pack when I am detecting around bedrock. It is frustrating to have to walk away from a target you are certain is a nugget.

What’s the torch for?

The Equinox is competes and runs well against the best VLF nugget detectors made. It is more complex to master than most however from being functionally different than what people familiar with the old units expect. More for people who love complexity (options) than simplicity (less options).

 

Thanks Steve! An inspiration as usual!

It most certainly will, and it's very good at it, see this post

 

What did you use to get to the pickers? Chisel and hammer?

Hi friends! So I’ve had my equinox 800 for about a year now but have yet to try prospecting with it. I live in Maine and find some pickers while dredging but wondering if the equinox would pick up gold hidden in bedrock cracks and crevices?

The beaches were void of targets today ?

Headed out tomorrow to a beach a couple of hours drive away with my Nox800. My question is- Should I wait for low tide and hunt the water beyond that, or just go and hunt the sand above the water line while the tide goes out?

Steve, how do those cable clips work on that setup? Do they stay on?

Hey friends. I remember seeing a post somewhere awhile back about changing the tones on the Nox to sound more like the Etrac or CTX 3030. Anyone know anything about this?

I saw somewhere where someone used a mounting adapter that enables items to be attached to motorcycle handlebars as an adapter that can be used to mount the Equinox head unit to any diameter rod.  Search motorcycle parts shops to see what you can come up with.

Yes been looking at that option, although I'd like something made purposefully for the Nox.

Don't think they ship overseas?

I believe you are right. I inquired, and after an initial response, 48 hours later they have responded no further. A member my save me by buying and sending to me. Thanks so much! Regardless of what our governments do, people of the world generally want to get along and help each other out!

Would someone in one of the contries they ship to be willing to purchase an adapter only for me and ship to me in the US? I will pay shipping plus an extra $20 for your time.

I will call there and ask ...

Did you find out? I inquired, they responded, but when I gave my shipping info to USA they have not responded.

Hi friends,yes Lovecpokladu are made on 3d print tools for golden mask shaft.I give you link,if someone want to order . 

Hi. I already have an Equinox 800 and a golden mask rod. I have been pondering a good way to connect the two. Can I purchase only the printed adapter?

All good info here guys. Thanks for the input

New to metal detecting and a little apprehensive about putting a hole in the grass at a park or other locations..... What is everyone's thoughts here?

I use the Garrett Pro Pinpointer wrapped in aluminum foil.

Wrapped in tinfoil?!

Makro rocks! Quickly took care of my issues. Top Notch customer service.

What pinpointers are everyone using? In the market for one myself.

Hey friends. Found this yesterday here in maine. It was sitting on moss covered bedrock next to a stream where people obviously hang out very occasionally. It's about the size of a dime but slightly thin on the edges. 

Thanks again Steve. I've already contacted them as they were great about replacing the wireless headphones that did not connect correctly. Now I'm thinking maybe the headphones were not the problem.

Unfortunately Steve I don't have another coil to test. It detects fine on metals just no threshold hum. The dealer I bought it from on ebay told me to contact the manufacturer as he does not accept returns, but would help any way he could with warranty.

I really want to like makro detectors and have just finally started to bond with my first detector and then this happens.

So I was out today for a couple of hours detecting, haven't even used the first set of batteries yet since I received my detector. After a couple hours the threshold all the sudden stopped working. Replace the batteries and still nothing. Sounds off on some targets but no threshold. Makes a crackling sound when I turn the detector off.... anyone know what the heck's going on with this thing?

I own the Makro Gold Racer btw.

Just curious as to whether a gold detector can detect through several inches of bedrock?
