    OK Dan, is it really for him or you?  Great to see the 1st video.  When skeptics start picking on your video, tell them to buy one and do their own.  Nice to see someone taking the to share a video of the detector we are all waiting for.

    BTW.  What is a KG for us Westerners.

    Hey Gerry, I went back and noted in the post, I came across this on FB.  A KG is a type of large cent, King George, that I do know :)

    it's a metal detector, not a life saving device. i am surprised at the crying in here. 

    Lol.....crying here? You must not have visited a couple of the other forums. This is probably one of the most civil and sane minded forums on the internet right now ?

  3.    Thank you Steve for the swift reply, I 'll pass the info, not the pic, along. That's  what I thought I had seen a while back, not being a water hunter, never given it much thought. The waterproof aspect isn't a concern for me being I don't water hunt here in the middle of the desert. It would seem that beach hunting covers a rather large audience according to the number of posts on all the forums. All is well once more !!!

    I would have posted this earlier, but, we have been waiting for the family to respond before posting anywhere. John nor his family asked that we post this, but several fellow members thought that John could use some help and maybe other members would like a chance to help out. Thanks.

  5. For me is a combo of all the following...

    New technology, fast recovery, adjustable recovery speed, noise cancel, lightweight, waterproof, better ID at depth, multi frequency or single, adjustable tone break, adjustable tone pitch, notch capability. Weighs less than 3 lbs built-in rechargeable battery, charge on the fly,  adjustable backlight.   That should do it for now :)  oh, it's Minelab!!

  6. It's called a noise cancel button and yes, the Nox has one, as does the CTX, Etrac and the Explorers.

     

    The Noise Cancel function allows you to eliminate electromagnetic interference
    (EMI) or noise from the detector.
    The CTX 3030 may become noisy due to electrical interference from power lines,
    electrical equipment or other detectors operating close by. The detector interprets
    this interference as inconsistent, erratic detections. Noise Cancel can be performed
    automatically
    (default)
    or manually.
    Auto Noise Cancel instructs the detector to automatically scan and listen to every
    channel, and select the one with least interference.

    Yes, Dan, that's what I meant to say, 1/8 MALE to 1/4 FEMALE.  DUH!  My bad!  (I edited my post, to fix it).  What I was really asking was is stereo to stereo correct?  

    On the CTX, if hooking to the control box itself, I believe the male needs to be mono, and the female stereo, is why I was asking...

    Steve

    You know, now that you mention it, I'm wondering if one plugs into the Nox directly(who would) (me) if it's wired the same as the CTX jack(mono)  I'm running an 1/8" angled male patch cable with a 1/4" female end mounted on the back end on the Nox. I use a Periscope Probe and need to plug directly into the machine. I've tried plugging the Periscope to the WM 10 but, for some reason when the audio goes from the WM10 thru the Periscope then to my phones, the audio get distorted just enough to throw the sound off. I'm hoping that's not the case with  WM08, if it is, I have my plan in the works!!!

    Yep, it is, Dan.  I am almost positive that it's 1/8" for the Equinox...

    SO -- yes, I need an angled adapter as well, but don't know what we need...female 1/8 stereo to male 1/4 stereo, 90 degree, I assume?  Can you shed any light, Steve?

    Steve

    I would assume, an 1/8" male stereo to 1/4" female for the 1/4" male jack on the headphones. I may have one in my stash.

    Thanks Mark. I like big pictures - the say a thousand words thing you know :wink: Speaking of which...

    minelab-wm08-vs-wm10-wm12.jpg

    Is that an 1/8" jack on the WM 08? I sure hope not, if it is, I need to buy an angled adapter.

  10. Thanks  for the info Steve, excellent write up!!  I have 4 spots that I'm convinced are "worked out" I have been hitting these places hard for the last 3 years with the Etrac and CTX, with every size coil(Etrac) and from every direction until finally they've played out. I'm betting the Equinox is exactly what the doctor ordered as all of them are polluted with iron and trash. I'm banking on the speed and the flexibility of the use of tones to bring to light a few more quality finds.  I'm getting both coils if they are available at the time of the shipment of the Nox. I'm thinking even with the big coil, the recovery speed might offset the size of the coil in relation to masking(hoping) I'm very much looking forward to putting the Nox to the test in these spots, if it does what I'm hoping, and I'll be surprised if it doesn't, it'll be the perfect clean up machine for the CTX.
