Thanks in regards to the ORX. Does pinpoint mode work like on the Nox, where it just stops working if you forget it on and continue searching after digging up a find, or is it like the Excal where you can just search in PP mode and when you find something, you can switch it back to disc mode and see if it's a ferrous or nonferrous target? In regards to the Deus, I noticed in the video posted that he was able to locate a target in non motion audio disc but the target didn't register when he switched over to gold mode. That's why I'm wondering if the Deus hits deeper in non motion audio disc than in motion modes.

So how deep does the Deus hit, say a dime, in non motion audio disc? Also, does the ORX have non motion audio disc?

First part's about building the scoop. The second part is where it gets good.

I wanted a cheaper PI to try and punch a little deeper than my Nox...which detects a 3.5 gram gold ring at 12 inches in the wet sand of Jones Beach (though ID is off but doesn't false as iron). Going to give the 15" coil a shot. At the very least it will help me cover more ground per swing. I'm going to save my ducats for a Fisher AQ...if it turns out to be all that and a bag of chips. How deep does your SH Mark 2 go BTW? It's one of the PIs I was looking at.

Oh damn...I didn't even know we had a library section. Nice! -

I get it now. I watched a Tony Eisenhower video, in which he air tested a bunch of rings. The TID of 14.7 gram 24K mens ring came up as 33 and that surprised him. https://youtu.be/SsgspduZA_8?t=862

Sorry, misunderstood.

Wait...what?
-
24K gold will have a TID on the NOX like a quarter or even higher, like silver.

How many crabs have you dug up using your Nox? I've dug up 4 of those toe pinching speckled crabs so far. lol

with the narrow (-9 - 40) VDI? Could Minelab update the Nox with a full range VDI? Couldn't that possibly help with discrimination of bottle caps?

Thanks guys.

Found it detecting on a beach on Long Island. It's got some weight to it but not like if it were made out of iron. It's not magnetic. I didn't clean out all the sand stuck to it.
-
So I did the update. Copper pennies are now 24-25, same as dimes. Zinc pennies are still 21.
-
Very nice! So does gold give a ferrous signal down deep? I hunt on the beach 99% of the time. The beach was dredged last year and there's a lot of iron. Am I to dig every ferrous signal?

Thanks guys, I called Minelab and Jaime said to ship the control unit to them.

Thanks for the reply Dubious. I have tried the factory reset and the coil cable is on right...the unit starts up (while charging) when the coil cable is not attached but then it shuts off. I bought it from Cabellas because I had a $200 gift card...and it was drop shipped from Minelab in Illinois. I'll give them a call tomorrow. I feel like a little kid on Christmas who just got the toy he wished for...but it doesn't work. I got gypped! lol
