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.

Tried the new program out on a midnight foray at the beach at low tide.  Settings - Nox 800, Beach 2,  FE2 - 4, Recovery - 4, Sensitivity - 18.  Still dug a lot of small wire, lobster trap pieces and coins.  Wasn't sure if I liked new settings or not until walking out and hit scratchy -4 signal, 8 inches down signal turned to 6 and found this.  

Will give it another shot.

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

Just finished reading page 3.  Fascinating!  ?

Thank you Bro!

Unboxed it, assembled it and went to power it up...and nothing.  Hooked it up to the charger and the charging light stays solid and doesn't blink.  Able to power it up while on charge and the battery indicator reads full...but as soon as I unplug the charger, it dies.  

Need some help please.  

New guy here saying Hi!  Just got my new Equinox 800 and have a problem.  Look for the thread in the Minelab section.

Thanks.

Cheers!
