  1. Thanks Steve H for your info! I was expecting this, but just wanted to be sure, since she said all Kruzer models.
  2. I have your new gold Kruzer, and want to know if the new coils ( 7 coils) also work on the Gold Kruzer? Since the Gold Kruzer is a high frequency Gold Detector, I don't know if the new coils will work on my Gold Kruzer.
  3. Yes we would like to see Makro/Nokta produce a waterproof, light weight PI gold detector!
  4. Simon, Why don't, you put plastic food wrapping film and a clear plastic silicone or plastic bag around the Monster, this will keep your Monster nice and dry. Don't let the rain stop you!
  5. As always a very good review Steve H.,and made me decide to buy the new Gold Kruzer! Thanks Steve
  6. I am looking to buy the Universal shaft Adapter for the Gold Monster 1000, any body knows a dealer who is selling it? Could not find any dealer in the US who is selling it on the web, and also did not see it on the Minelab website any more . Help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
  7. Nice finds, and good luck with your Monster! Also saves you buying fishing tackle and lead sinkers.
  8. Steve you were right,as always the Makro Gold Kruzer came on the market in May, as you said!?
  9. Steve H, Can you tell me, if it possible just to order the Pod of the Equinox 800 from Minelab so I can make my own unit to my own specification? ( naturally after the preorder time is finished ). My understanding is that Minelab also sells the Pods for their detectors on order separately. Want to know if this is also possible for the NOx 800 detectors. Thanks
  10. Thank you for this information, a very interesting light weight PI gold detector, I will be watching it closely!
  11. Hi Reg Wilson, Can you tell how much the price is of the QED in US dollars, and where/how I can order a QED PI detector in Australia from over seas. Would appreciate it, if you can give me a link to their website! Thanks in advance
  12. You need a second life to work all those tailings!
  13. Mine to, my dealer said his back orders are maybe filled in not before June! So I better order the 6 inch coil as soon as it comes on the market!
  14. Yes in a way you did, but you did not use the word Nada! You like to keep us in the dark. ?
  15. Hi Condor, Wow! Nice small gold nuggets you found with the NOX , keep us posted on your other finds and the settings you are using. BTW, what high end EarBuds are you using with the Equinox, yours seam's to be working well! PS Thanks for your posts, and to keep us informed on finding gold nuggets in the desert.
  16. Hi DukeBoxer, It won' t be a problem if there is no Minelab dealer, just get yourself a good external battery power source which you plug in the NOX,it charges the detector during detecting,and can be used even if the NOX battery kicks the bucket in the future. If the NOX battery is in good shape it should give you 4 years of pleasure with the NOX, it is just like the cell your cell phone battery, but you never know with batteries, Minelab gives a one year warranty on the battery and 3 years on the control box and coil. Do a search on this forum of NOX battery, and backup batteries which are also used to charge your cell phone in the field! There are some good articles discussing this on the forum, and for the external battery backup get yourself a good one and not the very cheap ones, you need a battery backup with 5.1 Volt and 2 A or 2.1 A of out put, to keep the NOX running fully functional !, the lower outputs don't work very well it seam's. Also just an idea for you, I am going to do this myself when I am going to Osa, since the high humidity and the tropical rains in Costa Rica and the jungle conditions, I like to use the water proof submersible detectors like the NOX, and there is also a good one coming out in May or June this year it is the Makro Gold Kruzer,and water proof till 6 meters/yards this is my backup detector I am going to get for Osa prospecting, would be good for the jungle conditions and humidity and good for underwater use as the NOX. I know the area you are going to live in is much dryer then Osa, but you have to be prepared for tropical conditions, It is maybe a good idea to also get yourself a second waterproof detector like the new Makro Gold Kruzer also very sensitive on small gold, with it's 61 KHz, you can read the specs. On their website or on this forum if you go to the Nokta/Makro detector section. Hope this is helpful for your Costa Rica gold prospecting endeavor in the near future! And get your Ass out their quickly and join your family and daughters in Costa Rica! ( LIVE LIFE, FOR LIFE START LIVING YOU )
  17. Nice place to go to Costa Rica, plan myself to go to Costa Rica in a few years from now, but go to the Osa Peninsula lots of gold and nuggets in Osa.The Equinox is a good choice, but keep in mind of the rechargeable battery, if it kicks the bucket in the future, you will have problems having it repaired ! ( don't, think there are any service centers in Costa Rica to replace your battery) .Make sure you get a good power back up to run your NOX 800 incase this happens! And get a spare internal battery as a safety backup so you can go in Costa Rica to a tech.shop and have it replaced! Not sure they have a Minelab dealer in Costa Rica, I thought the main importer is in Panama, to be sure contact Minelab and ask them if they have a dealer or service center in Costa Rica or the nearest one in Middle America! Or when you have problems in the future you can always ship it back to the US service center, this will cost you off course. Let us know how you are doing with your prospecting for gold in Sunny Costa Rica! And make us some pics and vids. As you probably know metal detecting is a loud by law in Costa Rica also panning and sluicing for gold, but no motorized equipment, not even electric or battery operated are aloud In Costa Rica. Local Government is very strict about it, and have stopped all mining in the country, they want to protect their nature, since eco tourism this in their main source of income !
  18. Hi Kiwijw, I am second in line after you! But I still will be the first to get the book! As soon as Steve H.book comes out it will take more time to get to you in New Zealand! Since I live in the USA I will have the book in hand first! So you see you can be first, and still end up second place!???
  19. Hi Steve H, Yes Steve when can we see your first practical field guide coming out, on how to find gold nuggets? Would be a good project for the cold winter days, and you knowing you probably will be a famous author!! P.S. And Steve can we already start pre ordering your first book!??? (just joking about the pre order thing, since after the NOX we live in the age of pre order!) But I am serious about the book writing, would very educational and uplifting to have a Steve H. Field guide in hand!
