Ridge Runner Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I find myself waiting again for something new they call Apex . I had been thinking about buying the Vanquish 540 pro pack but about the time I was going to pull the trigger on it another toy pops up. The trouble is I can’t have it today and not even tomorrow. Just like always I find myself in line waiting on something or someone. Well I’m not standing in line for nothing anymore. I’ve had a Nox 800 but sold it and I’m still kicking my butt for doing that . I had a detector that out shined all others and like said stupid sold it. Enough is enough so I called Rob and ordered a Nox 800 , 6” coil with a extra lower shaft and a MI 6 XP Pinpointer for my ORX . I ordered this just this past Monday and by 6 the next morning the check was in the mail. I wish all of you the best that’s waiting on the Apex. Just mark me off that waiting list .

kac Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I find that with trying to find reliable suppliers. Tried to order a new computer for work and ship date was July1st!!! I cancelled the order. Try getting anything from Amazon without paying for stupid Prime and you might as well ride your bike to the nearest warehouse and pick it up yourself. Apex is a bit of an exception as it isn't officially on the shelves yet and that promo was a pretty good teaser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff McClendon Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Hi Chuck, some people do not like the Equinox and really like the Vanquish. I will leave that one alone. I like both for what it is worth but I'll let you figure out which one I pick 9 times out of 10.........it won't take long to guess. The Mi-6 XP pinpointer works fantastic with the ORX. Another possible upgrade are the Quest over the ear headphones that the WS audio puck fits on. Outstanding headphones. Even Chase likes them!!!! Rob Allison is a fantastic dealer and a really good nugget prospector and person. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 Hey Jeff You’re right what you said about Rob . I was dealing with that kid before he turned gray and I hadn’t yet. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Can't go wrong with an Equinox. And realistically outside of true detector nerds most regular folks out there can't go wrong with a Vanquish. OK Chuck, orders from Dr. Steve. No more looking at new detectors and wanting new detectors, waiting for new detectors, or buying new detectors. I am officially diagnosing you with new toy syndrome! The cure? Use the detectors you have or are about to get and go out and metal detect and find stuff! And I do believe I will take my own advice on that!

BeachHunter Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Great choice Chuck! The ORX compliments the Nox beautifully and vise versa! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D. Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I too feel like i was catching " New Toy Syndrome" from hanging around here with you all!🤣 I will just have to go back to "Reality Rehab", and use what i have for now! Thank's for reminding me Dr. Steve!😞 Now leave me alone, to drown my sorrows in a cup of "Get Over It"! I think i will dust off my old Bounty Hunter 840, go for a hunt, and post some finds with it! "Whats old can be new again"🤥😞🎻 🎶🎶🎶 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogodog Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I'm not a line guy so I usually let other guys do the research, and make my decision after the smoke clears. But I always find myself drifting back to my older stuff and wondering why I bought some of the impulse buys ( bad thing to do). Bottom line is we all think that something might be better, when its really not. Fancy racing stripes do not make a race car. 9 times out of 10 its the place your are hunting and not the machine. No silver, No gold, No stuff, No find with any machine!! I do wish Garret well with the apex and hope its a home run. Any Mfg that's still competing in the market is a great thing for all of us. Multiple detector choices are a wonderful option for us new toy driven enthusiast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dances With Doves Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 The metal detector you don't have will never find you anything. Getting a nox is a good move.It can do so much compared to most machines.My explorer user friend just found an 1856 seated quarter in a pounded park with his new nox .I found half a walker half with mine. His quarter was very deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
