Thanks for his tip, I’m hoping it works for me. I’ve tried so many different suggestions and none have worked yet.

Steve, thanks again for this forum. There are a lot of very sharp individuals on here that contribute lots of shared knowledge (and some BS that we have to discriminate out)

You do a great job of moderating.

Thanks Steve, I agree with the size of the coil. It must be true, size matters! Seriously though, I too feel the OEM coil does as good or better than after market coils. I’m no expert, like a lot of you are, it’s just my observation. 

I’m interested to see if there are noticeable differences in performance for the available coils that are out. I see manufacturer specific coils and then some made by Coiltek and others (I don’t recall their names).

 My question is, do any of you suggest a particular coil manufacturer over another? I don’t mean 6” vs 9” vs 11” and so forth, just curious if a particular coil manufacturer appears to make better product.

I have a a 5x10 coiltek for my 900 and I don’t really feel it works any better than the standard coils.

I bought the two piece shaft for my 800, from Steve and love it. I was not aware of the 3 piece and kinda wish I’d heard of it before my purchase. Now I need to reach out to Steve and get the 3 piece. I’ll have the two piece for sale after my order.

Thanks Steve, you’ll be hearing from me soon.

Good story. I too use my 800 as a go to Detector because I have confidence in it. I wish I had the same feeling with my golf clubs. 
 

I’m not experiencing the issues others are. It took 50+ hours to work out some understanding and I do look forward to an update but all is well at this time..

New to the forum. I’m on several other forums and started with an AT Pro as my first detector. Now I own a Nox 800 and 900. 
 I use all three regularly. Each has its own.

I’ve been lurking this forum for 5-6 years now. Good stuff.
