  1. Thanks for that Jeff. I love my nox and naively "at first" thought there may be something on the market even better. But so far, after buying a very expensive Nexus MP and researching every other detector on the market, i have yet to find anything so versatile, multi-purpose and intuitive as the equinox. When i have it on my arm now, it almost feels part of me. This is something i have never experienced with any other product, from airguns, to mobile phones to everything. Like you..... i am chopping at the bit to get the 15 inch'er to cover more ground, i'm excited to say the least. Good times ahead buddy ?
  2. Oh boy oh boy!! Good news indeed. EDIT: Yeah....the Minelab website now has the "coming soon" removed! ? ? HAPPY DAYS!! Andy.
  3. Thanks everyone for your kind words. And a special thanks to Randy for once again providing accurate and knowledgeable information on coinage. This forum is AWESOME! Andy.
  4. Hoping it comes soon, the ground is gonna be frozen in the coming months. Dont make me cry Minelab, be nice!
  5. Howdy 57, My quarter pinged at 31. Nice find there budski. Congrats. I love the American coinage, its just so nicely detailed and i love the eagle. Andy.
  6. I'm trying not to brag guys honestly, but the Nox and myself did it again. Unfortunately I took my Spinks coin bible back to the library last week, so I cant I.D the little butey, Soooo......can any kind person here tell me what it is please..... pretty please....with a cherry on top ? ? YaaaaaHoooooooo Andy.
  7. Hi Steve, A UK store has it at £219.00 (Crawfords UK)
  8. Desperate for this coil now. Really need to cover more ground. It will be great i am sure. I Have every confidence in Minelab so I do.
  9. Well its funny you mention this actually. Overall i feel the 1.75 has performed better. But yesterday i was under a small power-line and it was a bit skittish. More so than when i was there operating with the 1.5. I may do a test with both on camera, and start to nail down whats happening.
  10. Touche : I'm the ultimate penny pinch'er ? (Brit slang, hope its appreciated) Hehehe.
  11. I'll be mega honest here ( As usual) lol. Version 2.0 .... Is the best thing since... sliced salami, and I LOVE the new version. Whether its just in my head or not, its my head, and i like it. Hehehehee. Cheers.
  12. Oh wow, jus looking at other peeps finds, this is a real head turner. congrats to you both ? . Andy.
  13. Hi you lovely lot, A bust toe kept me down for a week or so...... But yesterday I bounced back, got the eye of the tiger and found my SECOND hammered coin!!! On this latest one, its a tad broken off at the side, but still a lovely little coin. I'm very happy with it. Hope your all well, and finding your own nice stuff, all the best. I'm back baby ? Andy. A small bit of damage n wear, but hay ho. The back is almost identical to the first one i found. And here they are, the 1st one and yesterdays. May of been the same person who lost them both, clumsy bugger so he was ? MEGA close-up look at yesterdays coin. If damage hadn't occurred, it would be a stunning example of a 1400 hammered coin. If you look at her face, it looks like she has dumbo ears LOL. And Below, both coins shown. Yesterdays find is slightly defaced, but considering they have both been hiding in a ploughed field for over 600 years, they aint half bad really. .........
  14. Nice1 you lot. Some decent input there. Ive been using 2 detectors lately, the nox and the nexus MP. I have to say, the nox is my favourite by far. Its so bloody easy to use, the discrimination is outstanding, simply awesome. But its very early days with the MP. Its funny, cus i think some people can become attached to a detector if they make an awesome find/s with it. So fickle as some of us are ? I like your replies, because it has so much variation, for some getting out of bed and simply going detecting is enough, for some simply getting outside and away from work is good enough. For others, only a coin, or silver is a good day, its all very interesting and widens my perspective on other peoples lives. So thank you for sharing. I sometimes wonder how much the law of attraction comes into play. Ive always felt the subconscious mind has a unique power to it, with complex capabilities, and even perhaps future predictions and future intelligence. Some of you may think im a little batty, but think how many times we have been avoiding someone, or thinking of someone, when suddenly ... BAM! ....We bump into them. So just following your intuition may lead to some of the best finds. I think there's something to this for sure. Usually ive noticed i find the best stuff when im relaxed, thinking of other things and aimlessly wondering around. On the flip side, when im thinking about finding coins, coins coins!! I NEVER seem to find em. Or going right off the woo woo deep-end, perhaps Dr Nick Bostrom's 5 simulation assumptions come into play, and realluy there are no coins or relics under the ground untill we dig em! ? Right i think i'll quit while i have some credibility still left ? LOL, Cheers everyone. Andy.
  15. Howdy fellow detectorists, So....After gaining permission on a historic site (yada yada yada) , and especially finding my silver 1400 penny last week, i was finding myself getting a little complacent and unrealistic in my hopes for a days detecting. And so it transpires...that......Yesterdays detecting was somewhat of a let down, and i found myself walking home rather disappointed. I told myself that good finds are fairly rare, but still i felt disappointed in spite of my logical and grounded part of my brain saying its all good and to be expected So i was wondering/pondering on my way home what you guys would consider: 1. A bad days detecting 2. A moderately good day detecting, 3. A good day 4. And a outstanding days detecting. I understand that different locations and countries will provide better finds, but hypothetically if you were on a ploughed field, what would your expectations be? Short of giving myself a good slap, perhaps your expectations of a days detecting will give me a clearer perspective on the matter. Appreciate any input with thanks! Andy.
  16. Anyone got feeback on the Kruzer? It looks an attractive package, but im thinking the nox would be hard to beat.
  17. Its ground coverage i need it for. And if i can get an extra inch, then thats all good.
  18. Howdy Tim, With open arms we say "Welcome back! ...... and .......GOOD ON YOU BUDDY"!! May the finds god bless your path, heart and spirit! Failing that, find a good field and keep your fingers crossed. Mine will be crossed for us all ?
