So listsning to all of this talk about hey buy a 600 for the time being and sell it for the 800 later, or jjst buy a 600 and learn a bit about the nox until u can get the 800, just throws my plans into the mixer, ive been back and forth about which one to buy for 3 months. I hear over and over that the 600 will find anything the 800 will find so i was set on just going with the 600 but listsning to you guys makes it sound like the 600 is just a toy compared to the 800.... thanks for making me second guess my 600 decision yet again not mad just more confused again!! I mean now i feel inferior with the 600 and not the 800, should i?

Yes steve i think you are 100 percent right, jjst weird to me if i owned tesoro and it was baby i just cant imagine sayin screw it will stay like we are and hope for the best..maybe will be open next year and maybe we wont...ive been holding out for the last couple years on buying a new detector in the hopes they would do something new. I guess the equinox just keeps looking better and better.

Hmmm how about the rumors of tesoro closing the doors, any validity to that... i am a tesoro fan and i see all of these new detectors with new technology coming out and although its the simplicity of tesoro that first drew me in i just really hope everything is good with tesoro but it honestly seems to me they need to hit a homerun on some new stuff to stay relevant...something to get us fans excited.

Thought id ask tesoro fans if theyve heard of any new just gotta have one tesoros that may be coming out soon?

O for sure but for me 1000's in metal detectors and digging tools i have no problem dropping 100 bucks roughly for a pouch i will have the rest of my life.

Congrats!

Thank u johnedoe

So i found a guy who makes custom metal detecting pouches, its called jolly roger leather works, his name is ken and he started making pouches just this january. He has really great pouches i have ordered one and have spoke to ken a few times now and talk about great service, unbelievable. I am not affiliated with him i just happened across the website and the day after i found him he happened to be on the beyond sight and sound podcast. I just wanted to put this out there if you are like me and just really want something nice and customizable and something to last a very long time you should really check him out. I am super excited about his pouches.

The chevy colorado and gmc canyon with the 4 cylinder turbo diesel is a great choice, u can get 4wd and 4 doors they are compact and we use some at work and ive seen 40 plus miles to the gallon on them on long hwy drives, with tons of hauling and pulling power. Easy to drive if your not a fan of big trucks...much bigger on the inside with a 4 door model then u would think.

Awesome finds, and going all in with the nox, congratulations!!!

Thanks steve, this was the post ive been waiting for, its the 600 for me, but i will wait until the dust settles....gerry out in idaho i will be calling soon.

I have been literally driving myself crazy over which nox to buy, the truth is after reading this i really only need the 600, i do have a rookie question though now that im convinced that these detectors have the same engines so to speak, kind of like buying a mustang gt loaded or one with no power windows and door locks, but will run the quarter mile in the same time. Anyway back to my rookie question im assuming there will be updates to the nox's is there a possibility that the updates will continue to give the 800 more distance from the 600 in what it can do or will the updates likely be basically the same?

Thanks gerry that is what i want to hear, i guess what i really should have asked is who is some good dealers that i can buy from with knowledge and great post purchase service?

Mike i love your show, i listen everyday catching up on all the previous shows, i go to work pop my ear buds in and listen all day long. Thanks for doing this its great for guys like me that really dont have any clubs close to me so to get info on everything metal detecting is great.

If you use an android phone theres a free podcast app called beyond pod alot of the androids come with it already installed, its a free app. Here are my favorite podcasts All metal mode show American digger relic roundup Beyond sight and sound Relics radio show Great shows with guys that everyone will know from the world of metal detecting

Yea it is very cool i cant find anything on it, i dont even know if its old or new.

Recent find here, any info would be awesome

Hey all, been detecting for about 8 years now and i dont have a go to metal detector dealer that i know of in my area, ive just always bought my equipment from places like kellyco, im sold on buying an equinox but will wait until the dust settles abit before doing so, all of this talk about cabelas and local dealers and where and why not to buy from whomever made me really want to give my money to the small guy even more but, i really dont know of any local dealers out here near me i live in south east indiana not far from louisville kentucky, anybody out there know of any dealers closer to this area especially ones who have great service if needed after my purchase.

Very excited about the equinox, ive been really interested in the ctx or etrac but just couldnt pull the trigger on that price point, now it looks by all the fomments and reviews i have an option at 899 to run with the big dogs possibly, think im gonna let the dust settle then score me an equinox.

I got into the hobby back in about 2010 and i had i pioneer 505 i believe it was and wanted to upgrade but because i dont know anyone else who metal detects i thought i need a detector thats as capable as other quality machines but it needs to be simple so i researched forever and the tesoros just kept coming up so i went for it and have loved this machine every since i of course went back to my old spots that i used the 505 on and it was like going to new ground and i have dug targets consistently 8 plus inches with ease, i learned the machine pretty quick because of its ease to use and i learned to super tune as well, i sometimes cant believe how deep this thing will find targets, i bought an AT pro and its a great detector but shhhh quiet when i say this i still find myself pulling out the ole vaquero more times then not. I jusf cant put the thing down and move on i have so much confidence in it

Great idea

U answered that perfect that is exactly what i wanted to know thanks tiftaaft

Thanks, something im wondering is if the ground balance knob gets turned a few full turns either way will that really throw it off? And then would it need turned back the same amount of full turns? Lol im not saying i turn it full turns but what if my little boy turned it with out me knowing it, i mean i dont think he did but what if something like thats happens, do i need to just start turning full turns negative or positive depending on which way i need to go? Or is it only working from 9 oclock to 3 oclock, if what im saying makes since

I just havent been able to find the sweet spot on my vaquero ground balance the last couple times i used it cant seem to find that constant hum, either to negative or to positive, can someone help me out?

Cool thanks for the quick response that was something that was on my mind through all of the questions about the nox and i had never seen that question come up.
