Ridge Runner

The contest is over for the rock book. I will post the winner by opening a new post. Thank You Chuck

Mike I have to agree with you that White’s has some great platforms to work off of but will they do it. That’s the big question. Chuck

Mike Everyone you said is inside other than the Nox a sardine can and got the weight to go with it. Who said the Equinox can run only in two frequency ? It is what you call a true Mult Frequency detector. Like history it’s in the pass and some not all detectors are too . Chuck

It is so many single frequency detectors out there and yes some do have more you can access. It really don’t make any difference it’s still one frequency at a time. What I can’t understand is more are being made and if not on the market already like we’ve seen this year . It will be another nugget and coin detector should be out by the end of November. Oh it’s telling how many frequency you can hunt in but still one at a time. I know I sound like a broken record saying one at a time but that’s the truth of the matter. When Minelab came out with the Equinox they raised the bar at a higher level that others have yet to reach . This is what all of the other detector companies have to strive for . If they can just equal the Equinox will keep them in the running. I don’t see Minelab just sitting back without looking at the Equinox saying how can we make it better. I myself is swinging a single frequency detector and I do like it . I’m not saying they don’t have a place in the detector market but over time will be less and less . I’ve owned a Equinox 800 and I loved it but had it with the wait on a small coil so I sold it. If some others don’t come out with something to equal it in early 2019 I’ll get me another Nox . Chuck

Steve I’m incline to agree with you on our cup run over with single frequency nugget and coin detectors . I really don’t know why they bother coming out with something that so many others have already done .Right now the weight of their detector is the best thing going for them . I can’t say I won’t buy one but if I do it’s because I like trying something new . It won’t be because I need it. If the XP Deus and another had came out with a small coil right away I’d still had both . Just think it will be lots to look forward to in 2019 . ( I hope ) Chuck

The Deus ORX came out in a blaze of glory but then went dead in the water. One video is a show and tell but the others are all tell .I guess give it time and we’ll learn more. Chuck

You only have to wish it. Chuck

What is fake false now in 2020 could come true. Just take a look at that smart phone you have that was impossible time back . If someone can dream it then it can be. Chuck

There is a couple of sayings that fits this . 1. Seeing it believing 2. Bird in hand is better than two in bush Without upsetting the apple cart we see it already and we have it already what others want . Now if Makro and Nokta can make it better then that’s another story.haha Chuck

I’ve been looking for videos on the ORX and at first it was one . Now it’s three but two is talk that I can’t understand. The first one they do show it but still don’t understand what they saying. Oh well that’s life ! Chuck

Soks You are right on the location. Chuck

Hey Northeast If you win I’ll have to hand carry to you. The trip is going to be hard on me so do you think you could put me up for a month ?haha The Best ! Chuck

Well guys this may be the one we’ll never know. The trouble is if one got it right we wouldn’t know it . When you call it a unknown and can live with it let me know. What I’ll do is put all the names who played in a pot and draw from that . We’ll call them them the winner. Ok ? Chuck

Hey Gerry That’s one great find ! It’s a fact that the man is no better than the detector he’s swinging in front of him . At the same time you need to know what your detector is telling you . The BeachHunter is just another great product put out by White Electronic. It’s a song that says You ain’t seen nothing yet and I believe the same will apply for White’s in 2019 . Chuck

Steve I know it’s nothing free in this world and I don’t think this would be either. Time travel back when White’s came out with the Eagle 2 and if you had the Eagle White’s would update it. Then just like magic you had a Eagle 2. The cost back then was a 125.00. They could charge you for every update but they don’t. Chuck

We see new detectors on the market that offer to run in one frequency at a time. They have several to offer like the new XP ORX. In my opinion I think they can come back at a later day and have a update that could give you a multi frequency to run at one time like the Nox. Back in time it was turn on and go but as we all know today that don’t hold true anymore. That detector has a brain that we can access and I say if I set it up before for a change then I can come later to make that change. I want your opinion so lay it on me . Chuck

I’d have to say that the Equinox 800 is knocking at the door of doing it! At my time in life I think the Nox would do me well! I don’t see myself getting to nugget hunt as much as I would like because of the long trip to get there . I’m waiting to see what 2019 has to offer but if it don’t look great I’ll just buy me another Equinox 800 . If Minelab had the small coil I’d never sold my Nox in the first place . I didn’t say I was the smartest rock in the box . Chuck

BeachHunter You’re right about him calling me Pop and the kid really knows his Nox . Chuck

It’s some videos out on the ORX but I come up short understanding what’s said . Chuck

prunt With what you said it would have to be a hybrid detector. Who knows just maybe we’ll see this come to be in 2019. I’ll give it a name of Evolution. Chuck

I myself haven’t had the opportunity to truly answer this question but maybe some of you can . Chuck

Steve With a wide spectrum of frequencies it has to offer but I assume you can only operate in one at a time . The 9.5X5 coil would equal about a 7” round coil if you take into account how this has been figured in the past . Chuck

Steve I got a email from Deus last night and they said the ORX will be available by the end of November. I had the XP and it was a great detector but my problem was having to charge everything. That’s a great price and they saying a five year warranty. I wonder if anyone will top are equal the same warranty time in 2019 ? One thing for sure they getting a jump on what’s new in 2019. Chuck

I assume I’m looking at a oscilloscope readout in what you’re referring too . I must say it’s been a while that I’ve worked with one . Chuck

phrunt Us just say a detector company give you all you want and maybe more. Now the really big thing is just how much are you will to pay for it . Something else you said that I didn’t think of before that had to do with EMI . Being we riding this wish wagon it would be great to cut out a KHz that was effective by EMI , Chuck
