I have now joined the long line of people that have experienced exceptional customer service from Nokta, they're replacing it for me even though I can't locate my receipt.

 

Congrats Phrunt, the real costumer care is what really builds brand loyalty. 

Well done @Nokta Detectors 🙌

I got mine since 2019, many many hours using it, with a lot of coil changes, and still working as the first day.

80% in water

20% in land

The best pointer I have ever used

Hi StarVatrex,

Thanks for your comments!

On saturday i did an inmersion, and it sounds fair. Not as high as a pinpointer, but enough to hear the average signals. This, plus the vibration, means YOU CAN USE IT "STEALTH" 😋

Talking about LS Pelso, that where the headphones that failed me in the detection trip. It worked fine till the momment the get off. They worked high, but since they get fail, i cant put the conifidence on them again... maybe again?

About the config you said, is very similar to the one i use on the Equinox while diving; i use Beach2, noise canceling, Auto GB with tracking ON, 2 tones, all metal, and the lowest RS possible to hear the signal, and separate the iron density of each beach.

To me, 2 tones is the most importante: ferrous or non ferrous. I detect by ear.

I´m waiting to test the Xterra more extensively... is not an Equinox with MultiIQ, but it seems to work reasonabilly well for its price... and about the outcomes you show, it seems it like and smells well low conductors... 😉

I designed one in my mind. I would like to compose it soon. I will show if I have time... It's so easy to do... 🤗

I took the first step, and it works 😇

I don't know how they did it, I know it works. And very good.

Finally, I got mine. I will make some tests in the future weeks, and will tell you 😉

Taking advantage of the fact that I have several Equinox series coils, I decided to buy an X-TERRA Pro, and make an all-terrain detector that, due to its cost, I did not mind leaving always in the back of the car. So I attached it to the Nox 10x5 coil. Fantastic, I am a fan of hunting with small coil and maximum separation, especially in the water.

A few years ago, my headphones in the Equinox 800 broke down on an underwater detecting trip, and it was agony not being able to hear underwater.

Now I was wondering how to "free myself" from using headphones underwater. The Xterra has the vibration function, which is a plus, but for me the audio is the most important thing.

So, thinking about the matter, I made a parallelism between the sound propagation in the water of, for example, pinpointers, which can be heard ok, and how to achieve these properties with the Xterra. Thus, Iñi decided to cover the speaker with a very firm film, and seal the edges with hot silicone, so that the speaker could generate the sound in dry, and that this sound, when colliding with the film, could be transmitted underwater. If the speaker gets wet, even if it doesn't get damaged, it doesn't generate sound properly.

And today I did an immersion test. Sometimes I detect in the water up to the snorkel, and as the ears are always underwater, I can hear the sound reasonably well, and combined with the vibration function, means that I can use the Xterra/Manticore/Equinox underwater without the headphones.

I hope this mod can help someone who owns Manticore, Equinox or X-Terra Pro models and wants to use it differently 👌

I have participated in many forums with a wide variety of topics, and for many years, but I have never seen one with such a human quality and as much knowledge as the one you created. DetectorProspector is a unique place, and unique places can only be created by unique persons: THANK YOU Steve

I have used some, and this us my list from worse to the best:

- the Yellow ones from Minelab

- LS Pelso

- Seaghost 

The Seaghost are incredibly loud and clear, simply the best ones I have ever used. During diving you listen very well, and on dry, are very very loud.

my condolences to family and friends

Where I live, North Spain, tides is the most important. Then waves. And I use to travel Mediterranean for serious diving, and there is the real success... you know what I mean... 😉

@StarVatrex , you're on fire. That ring is awesome,  very pretty,  and with a big story behind. You live in a blessed place, Mediterranean sea is blessed

Thanks for your words! I'm considering doing some experiments or handiwork on it...  Covering the speaker with a thin plastic, well sealed, to be able to listen underwater without headphones... With that and the vibration (as pointers do), together with the 6 inc😎h coil (or the 10x5), it can be a great secret and discreet weapon on crowded beaches this summer...

Yes, I have a Nox 800 too.

Keep in mind that Nox came out in 2017. It's been about 6 years. Would you compare two mobile phones 6 years apart?...

It's much faster, more responsive, the audio is better, and now you have flashlight and vibration. The battery lasts twice as long and mechanically it turns a thousand times.

It's IP68 certified, hard to compare. Without forgetting that it's "only" SF...

They are different machines. As a backup of your Nox I do recommend it to take in the car. It's a winning bet!

I was out wading last night with the full Strawberry Moon. It's amazing, finish off with Vibrate ON, 5 Tones and Flashlight and Screen ON. All the fish playing around me. Incredible.

It was the night of Stainless Steel...

 

Around here, a fellow with Nox has already ordered another one as well.

Thanks for your comments StarVatrex.

So, you were wading... I do dive detecting. I own the Seaghost 800 Nox, and I'm thinking also as a backup for diving... A lot of thoughts at the sime time 🤔😂

@StarVatrex ,do you own an Equinox? If yes, how do you compare Xterra vs Equinox? 

Thanks for sharing your configs!

I own a Nox 800 and I'm considering buying an XTP for backup and to carry allways in the car... 

Estoy flipando con lo bien que decís que detecta! 

Some people say that it's a deep as Nox 800; those who owns both, what's your impressions?

 If you run a NOX all three of my NOX  book would give one  a pretty good grounding. 

Clive, I use Nox since 2018. I detect beaches and diving, runing always in all metal, 2 tones, use crosscheck, and some other skills, as low sensitivity. But I would like to learn MORE, and a review of the basics, cause I may lack in some points.

To buy your 3 NOX books is enough for me... which one would you recommend me specifically? 😘

Thanks!

Nice beauty!

Was it very old? I mean, the year.

Thanks Luis. I read it, but triying to get more info, I didnt find it over the net

Gracias quillo!

No news?

 For one diver and portability the Nemo looks like a good choice.

For me, this is the key. A bit expensive, but its simply incredible. I hope they will repair mine.

Tachán! New PI? 🤪

Hey strick, after reading all the comments the Nemo does seem to have some problems. The very thing that makes it so efficient on battery power may also make it prone to unreliability i.e. a switch in the regulator that keeps turning the compressor on and off. Think I'll look at an Australian made unit AirBuddy their website has a complete list of spare parts which makes it user serviceable. I would prefer to see that than videos with pretty girls.

Hi, mine have some "troubles" with the regulator switch. At the beggining it worked on/off perfectly, but now, 3 years later, I have to find a "neutral" point manually, because if not, it Will pump continiously. Is that What happens to you?

Thought I saw someone I recognized in that video.  

Yeahhhh, me too! 😇

Call me different, but I like challenging sites like that, especially if I can hunt them multiple times trying different settings.  

Me too! It's a real challenge, and near nobody detects there, so... There's a lot of stuff, is a very busy beach

What I learned from your video : #1- you state you find alot of gold there. #2- you are passing over signals I would dig. #3- a garden rake may be helpful for taking the top layer off.

Thanks King! I was just showing the iron and it's falsing, because the most of the signals are just that, iron falsing (look at the cross check), I was not searching or digging, just taking this video for all you. 

Below that stones, are more stones, bigger ones. This is the bottom of the beach, where the storm has taken away the sand. 

And yes, its incredible how much gold is there, nearly all masked partially with the iron. 

Just patience,  patience and patience, and the outcomes comes by itself!
