Dances With Doves

If I hunted the wet salt sand I would want one.

Thanks for taking the time to test.I will use the 6" mostly.The 4by6 will be nice when I want to hunt shallow for more realistic targets. A 3mm white gold earring is like trying to pull a stunt in finding one. Things have to be perfect.I wonder if they made a small coil like the Goldbug pro how sensitive that would be in a concentric?I would buy one.

Yes, A surface target.The 4by6 hits it mostly near the nose of the coil. Have both coils.

I have a Kezef creations 3mm 10k white gold topaz pair of earrings that I got for less then $12 on Amazon with silicon backing. It seems that the 6.5"concentric hits it much better so far when it's on the ground.I would think the much smaller 4by 6 DD would hit it about the same because of it's small size.I will have to do more testing.Bad coil? What do you think?

You should both work on it.You have more talent then you think because you have a great forum.Your pictures when you show a metal detector make me want to buy it.If he worked solo on the website it might be 2 years until the gold PI comes out if they still need his time on it.

They should hire Steve for that.

Good point Mike.Audio is personal.I could interpret the iffy hits on the Xterra very well and did great for gold. Others may not like it. It sounds close to nox for audio which made the learning curve easy.I use Tony Eis. headphone and love them.

In the turf the nox is way more accurate then xterra on deep coins.It( Xterra) up averages them when they get deep.In some places it' s no big deal because you dig all anyway because you are going for rings and coins.In some places you are digging to many pulltabs.The xterra is a great turf gold machine and tot lot machine with 18kz. I also have done good for silver coins with 10" 7kz coil.Still not as good as nox to me. The xterra is a machine that does many things well do to coil change system.I never tried a 3kz. dd coil on this machine.I think I will buy a 7 " 3kz dd. coil called Lion from Mars to see what it could do since it is cheap compared to digger coil from coiltech.

The one I got was a faint high-low hit in water with infinium .Was about 10 inches in a cut.If these big chains get deep they will start getting iffy signals.I did get a 1/2 ounce 18k bracelet in dry sand with Bandito and cleansweep coil.It went beep and few inches down was my target.

He said they were not in a dangerous area but easy to get to.

Mostly a solid 4. Hits it very hard on ground with the whole chain lying together. It will air test off ground to at least 10" in park2.

I have one over a ounce that looks like that and it's about 24" and when I set it on ground it gives me a 4 in park 1 and park 2.I found it with the Infinium.

I heard of someone dredging a creek a few miles from this spot and finding a 1.6 gram piece ,That is big for NY state . The best I got was a 1.3 grain nugget south of Buffalo panning.

Great hunting .At retail that ring would go for more money then a new Nox at your local jewelry store.What number does that air test? 20.

Since you have found many nuggets, would you count the one I found.I went to Stanton,Arizona in 2002 but found nothing. In 2014 in a Finger lake area creek in a deep gorge we went sniping for gold.I brought the AT gold and got a nickel hit. Me and my friend sniped that spot with our tools and got some pieces.One was .5 grains. I also got the nickel.Most were deeper then 5inches.There was sand all over the creek bottom from our work.It was getting dark in this spot so I took the machine and detected.I got a little hit and fanned the sand and there was a almost .6 grain piece.If I did not have the machine I would have not found that piece since it was hard to find.This was on bedrock.Would you count it as a detector find ?

I took the Gmx to the beach and hunted the dry sand. There are so many coal like black hot rocks that sound good with numbers all the way to the 60's that it was not where I would want to use this machine. Hunted 2 and a half hours and found 1 penny.One friend found 3.18 plus silver ring with Tesoro and cleansweep coil and the other found 2.85 plus 2 clad hoop earrings with nox.I was just going for solid shallow hits.I did take it in the water for a few minutes and it seemed stable but I was only a foot deep.Still to early to tell in water .I have to pick my spots with this machine . I turf hunted after and got 5 Wheaties and a swank sterling piece of jewelry with nox in a pounded area. The nox is a treasure greedy machine for sure.

I took the Gmx with 6" coil for a spin at a tot lot next to a kiddie soccer field.I need to get coil covers for both coils for beach use.I was able to run at sens. of 10 with boost 2 no problem. I found very small aluminum in tot lot and was only digging shallow hits of less then 2"(To hot). I did manage to get a nice size cz clad stud ear ring.I even got a #2 steel shot pellet.In the turf I dug a 2016 Dominican 50 peso coin as I was just going for coin hits in this pounded field.I like the tight signals from the 6" coil.I think I will like this machine but it does not have the turn on a dime ability of the Nox.You can hunt silver then change modes and your hunting small gold. I think the Gmx will be great small gold machine .

I know what you are saying about the 2 tone.It is much easier to find gold when you have it. The modulation of the infinium was nice,but you had to wind the wire around the machine tight or the coils would go bad much faster.I hunt freshwater with it.Atx way to expensive for all the problems you hear of. If the put a Atx in infinium box and made it more reliable for $1200 it would be a winner plus with cheaper coils.

They should have interchangeable coils like the infinium did.Did you ever use that machine?

Get a gold ring in Lake Tahoe and your in the mile high club.Those high lakes in the dead of summer are the place to be and perfect place to test that machine.

Hi skullgold diver.Does the very salty waters of the Med. sea make it tough on machines to get depth.Also do you find a lot of Euros?

I hope you get a deep monster gold ring with the new Impulse Steve. How long does it take you to get to lake Tahoe?

My machine arrived on the 4th. I put it together but I have to learn how to go through all the settings with confidence so I know I am not messing things up.One thing I did is I used a lady's thin medium size below a nickel hit gold ring in beep mode and compared it to a rusty bottlecap.When I pulled away from the gold ring the signal went away fast but the bottlecap signal held on much longer plus the signal was very intense.It is early to see if this will still work (bigger rings) when I do more testing but it is a good sign.

Welcome to the forum. The 600 would be my pick then waiting for Apex.You never know when you may want waterproof.

The 9" coil seems like it would be nice for hunting gold rings. Could you use that combo in a park and keep up with nox for silver coins?
