Hi Andy

a couple of weeks ago you asked about the Nox and the Kruzer. Daniel TN gave it to you straight. I had a Multi Kruzer and Nox 600 at the same time and was able to do similar testing with the stock coils and the smaller ones. My results were the same. I live in an area where digging plugs is a no,no so I have to be pretty sure of what is under my coil and how deep it is before I go after it with my screwdriver! I now have no Multi Kruzer and both Equinox's and can't wait for the bigger coil.

 

Jeff

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 ? 

Oh boy oh boy!!  Good news indeed.   EDIT: Yeah....the Minelab website now has the "coming soon" removed! ? ? 

HAPPY DAYS!!

Andy.

Thanks JW.  Always good to hear from ya ? Appreciated buddy.

He just has his own ideas about what he wants in a detector. I don’t think that makes anybody an idiot. I have to admit to being uncomfortable with name calling - it goes against the spirit of the forum. Thoughts?

Thats why i respect you Steve.  You made me question my own response to the guy.  But sheesh the video maker of said video .......  is pretty good at name calling too.  But 2 wrongs dont make a right.  Humble pie digested, thanks buddy.

Andy.

Thanks Silllvar, thanks guys.

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.

Hoping it comes soon, the ground is gonna be frozen in the coming months.  Dont make me cry Minelab,  be nice!

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.

Hi Steve,

A UK store has it at £219.00  (Crawfords UK)

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.

Very nice!  Congrats sir.

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.

JACKPOT!!   Lovely stuff.

Touche :  I'm the ultimate penny pinch'er ? (Brit slang, hope its appreciated) Hehehe.

  I meant 1.75.

**** EDIT:   THANKS TO DEWCON 

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.

Oh wow, jus looking at other peeps finds, this is a real head turner. congrats to you both ? .

Andy.

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.

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.

A good quality belt is essential IMO.  Nice kit FT.

Anyone got feeback on the Kruzer?  It looks an attractive package, but im thinking the nox would be hard to beat.

The past couple weeks, I have been playing with the 6 inch coil and comparing it to the 7 inch concentric coil on the Multi Kruzer.  

Its ground coverage i need it for. And if i can get an extra inch, then thats all good.

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  ?
