Dances With Doves

I would like a waterproof one too. Great audio. It would be nice to have a waterproof one in the summer.

I take it those 2 guys in the first Apex video are real hunters and not pro actors.

I wish we could take them to the scrap yard and scrap them for zinc. That would help.

In a pulltab infested spot the explorer probably has an edge. I hunted a nail infested fairground where I got my record of 17 silvers in a day with my explorer and got 8 this year in 1 hunt plus over 15 Wheaties ( where explorer was struggling to find a coin) with nox.I am in the gold coin club too.Found it in a hunt where Mike Moutray joined us on his road trips he took.2 1909 quarter eagles in 1 hole.He was in the first explorer ads.in the magazines.

That is a great hunt.We changed it up years back by going to a park about 35 miles away.I think Vince P. did a book on it on hard hunted parks for whites.The park is in Batavia N. Y. and all the explorer users did really good. The one time I hunted with my nox I only got 1 wheatie and a 40's nickel. My worse hunt ever there.My friend snuck out a indian with his new nox. The challenge of metal detecting has it's ups and downs.

I like the tightness of the signals.It is like my At gold but tighter.

Tom, It is nice to see you on this forum .Why don't you give the Nox a shot again since it has already made you money.Bring it to your relic spot and you can use your explorer as a pinpointer since your so attached to it . A good hunter like you with a good machine like the nox will bring good results if you give it time.

I only got 1.70 in the shallows in Lake Ontario.Not one piece of jewelry.Should have brought my wetsuit to see if my spot had a cut to the clay .My First time out for a water hunt this year.

A 3by 6 coil for Nox would be great. It would be great for prospecting and tot lot hunting and small turf gold.

That a 25 year old detector is still being sold today is amazing. I would put the Gold Bug 2 in a Gold Bug pro housing with many of it's features added to it for $599 and it would sell big.

They could have made more coils for the xterra. The after market coil makers got around the chip in coil. Coiltech Has permission to make coils but they now charge $263 for 6" digger coil. To much for me.You can get 7"Mars 3kz. coil for much less and probably better.

When I think of the f-70 I think of mud puppy from a other forum.His way with words is unique .Even David Johnson liked his writing skills I think.He cut off the fins on his f-70 machine to make it more sleek. He is into clad with a screwdriver at warp speed .He said f-70 is perfect machine for that type of hunting.

I have a feeling that after the Apex release that minelab will pull a new rabbit out of the hat.Nox multi Iq2 or vanquish pro with ground balance plus all nox frequencies without waterproof.

On average lake Ontario is not as bad as that .It is when a storm hits and separates the tan sand from black sand that my xterra would overload. We also have charcoal looking hotrocks that can be the size of a softball.We did have a coal plant a few miles away.We also have a river coming into it from Penn. close by.A Florida hunter from the gulf coast could not believe all the black sand stuck to his magnet and the big hot rocks.He brought one back to Florida to show his hunting buddies.

You have the passion.You were in that type of business.You have a great forum. They should pay more attention to you.Macro came out of nowhere because they paid attention.

how is the mineral content in lake tahoe. Is it bad?I heard that the land on that lake is highest price in country.Canandaiugua lake by me is second so I hear.Canandaigua is where Susan b Anthony had her trial. I found a steamer tag 1865-1889 from a ship by that name that I think burnt.

I think the 7by10 coil is a great all around coil that would be easy to swing.Put that on a 600 and 25$ less then 11" coil would be a nice combo . I would like it for fresh water hunting.

Might be a nice Lake Tahoe machine.

Looks like a nice machine.I use the infinium in the great lakes and it does well there in the heavy black sand areas where the gold likes to hang out.If they put the ATX in infinium housing for 1200$ it would sell well.

I meant it is not worth taking chance for them to take ring after they got insurance and not report it to insurance company.

I heard most class rings these days are insured.My friend tried to make contact with a lost ring owner and did not get a reply from him. He probably got a other one with the insurance . If you take a ring that was lost after you got the insurance I think it is insurance fraud if you don't notify them. Not worth taking a chance since founder might have called ring maker.

If the vanquish is doing better then the nox you can't argue with results. If it handles Emi better then nox then that could make a big difference on targets . The coils could also be better then nox for emi. I Would like to see you with the apex in your coin fields.If I was in charge of Garrett I would send you one.

Monte I wonder if the new coils handle the emi better? Never tried vanquish so my opinion does not matter for that machine. Seems like a great deal for that type of machine.If that machine can handle emi in spots nox can't that is a big advantage.

Hello Phrunt.Do you ever use a recovery speed of 4 on nox?

With my xterra 70 many pulltabs would up average to coins. In places where I didn't mind digging more targets or when the depth of up average was where their would be old nickles or gold rings I did not care to much.If the pulltabs and coins were both very deep because of soft ground,that up average thing the machine did made it tough when you were focused on silver coins or you were cherry picking .I like the nox Id. It is good enough for me to know it's a coin.
