  1. The Nox can do much more then gold hunt well.The 24 k is mostly a gold machine.The 24k does have the 6" concentric and that is a very sensitive coil for gold. You can use that coil in all ground but very hot ground. The Nox does not have that coil. Both will get the job done for gold.If you can afford both then get the lobster and the cracked crab.(Trading place movie)Why can't we get both.
  2. I hope it has good modulation like the infinum does for picking targets to dig.I imagine the ATX was about the same.
  3. Thank you for the testing you did for us to see.If you have some small white gold rings that would be interesting to watch.My infinium struggles when they get deep.
  4. I am doing the same test as I did with GMX and NOX. The first test I did was with the infinium with a 8' mono coil and I got nothing.I did a test one time with the same size white and yellow gold rings, and the yellow gold gave me a dig me hit and white gold nothing.This machine does not like small deep white gold rings.I bet the new AQ would hit it.I then tried the X-terra with the 6'' 18kz dd coil.I did it in prospect mode with max sens. and got a very soft signal but repeatable. This is max depth for this combo.I then tried it in coin mode with every thing open in 1 tone and I got a very soft hit with -8 and 48 as id which are iron wrap around #'s. The infinium did hit the 9" nickel I buried 8 years ago with a nice soft signal.This machine likes deeper yellow gold better in my opinion.
  5. Good thing you didn't sell the ORX.This is not the time to be without a machine since it is the main time to water hunt ( June- September).
  6. With all the gold that you found you can open up a jewelry store. You can call it OBN VINTAGE JEWELRY.
  7. I had a slightly bigger 14 k white gold ring buried at 7"for 2 years and GMX and 6" coil hit it very nice.The Gmx 4by 6 will be nice when I only want to go shallow.I will try testing some chains after.The ring I just did my testing on barely fits on my pinky.
  8. I tried the 6" Gmx coil on the same target.It gave me a soft signal that would make me dig it.When I turned on target the signal was more broken.This coil was much more stable then 4by6.I wonder if the 4by 6 is a bad coil since it gives false signals when I lift it up.The 6inch does not.It makes me wonder how good a 6inch concentric would work on Nox for small targets.Would you buy one if they made it? I will try 6inch coil on Nox next.
  9. I don't mind getting fooled a few times as long as I make a good find.In certain spots it pays to go for ugly signals.I was using my 10' 7kz xterra coil which was not best choice since ring targets were nickel hits.I got a deep soft iron hit and dug my 7th Jesuit ring.It was the only ring that day since we pounded that area before .My friends got no rings.
  10. Burying this small ring at 8" in 4 bar Gmx dirt I grabbed the Nox for a front yard test. It is semi high emi area.I used park1 first and could get some what stable at a sen. of 19 with F2 at 0 and 50tone.All I got was a small broken sound.I put it in Park 2 and every thing the same and I got a much stronger signal with good id hits mixed with some iron.It got better or worse if I turned on target.I then put it in gold 2 and tried multi freq. first at 19 sens. It gave a solid hit and not bad id.In 20 kz in same mode I could bump up sens to 22 and it gave a strong signal with id all over the place. I then put it in 40 kz and I could put the sen. at 24 and it gave a very strong signal with id all over the place. The Recovery speed was 4 on all tests.I then tried the Whites Gmx with the 4by6 dd coil and it did not give a sound.I will try the 6' coil for Gmx next.
  11. Token. silver ring I found yesterday gave me a 28 and was about same size.
  12. Nice ring. Being in Greece the people will bring you gold from all over the world.
  13. Thanks. We don't have much gold in NY state buy we had deep ice during the ice age.One guy found a 1.6 gram piece In this area. That much ice must of affected the rocks here. It could be a nugget.Our gold is from Canada via the ice .
  14. Hi Simon ,At a spot abut 40' from where we were finding gold.I took the detector and got a hit in the solid bedrock. It sounded like a regular size splitshot for fishing but they don't fish here.I don't think it was under the bedrock but in it.Do you find gold in the solid bedrock and how deep does your pinpointer get a half gram piece.They do hunt here so I wonder if It is 22 slug that some way found it's way under the rock.My friend says he can' find the signal anymore but he might not be looking in the right spot.I should go back one day and check again but it is far.
  15. Nice looking ring. It's nice finding ice during our summer season.
  16. A minelab tester called digger said the 3kz coil on the xterra by running 50 tones would give him a certain tone when he pulled away from target.He could tell mostly if it was a coin or deep iron.It saved him a lot of digging in the farm fields.
  17. I have used my Tony phones full time and I love them . I use them for wading and turf hunting .I don't know how the Pelsos sound so I can't help you.
  18. Sorry that happened Rick. I have had mine for 2 years and no problems and over 60 hours submerged.
  19. That is what the western USA hunters have over us east folk is there great tokens.One lucky hunter with a whites found a token from the great mining town of Bodie California. It is worth thousands.That town is over 8000' in elevation.They also have their gold nuggets, more gold coins,and more abundant s mint coins.I heard one guy with a Garrett found a private mint gold coin worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Tom will tell you, we have are large cents.
  20. Even though I was hunting only waist deep water, the 25mph winds coming with 10 miles of fetch to the other end of this lake made it a little tough concentrating.Plus this cove had metal walls which made the waves act like a bathtub. I was hunting with my buddy Dancing Dave who had the At gold.I got 1small stained 10k ring with blue stone,1 silver ring,a merc,a rosie,a 1960 Washington quarter,buffalo nickel,6 wheats,lures,plus 2 junk jewelry .Dave got a silver ring. I called him over for the merc but he only heard a iron grunt with his small coil.All the older coins were deep in this pounded spot. I also dug many deep older memorials. I was not going to bring the Gmx here because it is to trashy and I wanted silver.My silver count for the year is 65 ,Gold count only one. I Was hunting park 1 mostly.Hunted park 2 and had a 7 1/2 birdshot stuck in chicken wire against scoop.The Nox is a fantastic machine.
  21. To spend that much money I would want a machine for high dollar items(gold jewelry).If you hunted wet sand all the time I would like one.If you have extra money then it is no big deal to purchace it.If you had to choose between it and the new pulse coming out for salt work I wonder what the good hunters would choose if they can only get one.
