Chase Goldman Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 23 hours ago, Kaolin washer said: Working with the ORX in Gold 1 . Using 27.6 KHZ and came up with a setting that hears the Nickle without cracking but gives the iron away . as iron . The Reactivity is on 2.5, the IAR on 3 and sens on 90, all targets buried at 5" --NO.1 Nickel, NO.2 rusty bottle cap, NO .3 flat iron about the size of a U,S quarter, NO .4 a bent cut nail. https://youtu.be/uz7JO4ryKsE Yes, gold mode set to 25 khz or above is going to be a most sensitive mode for mid conductive targets and is a well known "secret" weapon to experienced Deus/Orx relic hunters. Pitch mode used in conjunction with Deus fast can give similar results while being able to take advantage of true ferrous discrimination and iron volume. If Orx incorporated pitch and full tones options for the coin modes (even while limiting multi-tone options to the current 3-tone setup), I honestly would would see little need for me to even need any of the other Deus bells and whistles. The only drawback with either of these setups being the lack of tone-based ID and reliance on visual TID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Slick Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Limited features and adjustments is the reason we have the ORX otherwise we'd only have the Deus. Same with Simplex+ and Vanquish series. Still, I love my ORX, but push come to shove, The Nox 800 is still my best "All Around" detector. IMHO, Keeping the ORX over the Nox for ring hunting is a huge mistake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaolin washer Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 took the ORX out to a hunted out site, using the Gold 1 with the setting i told you about . I got fooled by one deep iron nail that was bent in an L shape and rusted to the point that a sliver of unrusted iron was in the middle so i dug it all thou it sounded a bit hollow. but i could tell when i had a non Iron target, even that big iron you see from a cast iron stove was easy to tell it was big and flat and was Iron so i dug it , and the flat barrel iron i could tell but dug it to remove it . found a copper rivit and a aluminum insode of a 1930,s bottle cap that was deep so i checked it with the other programs and they said dig . one thing i wish they would do with the ORX is when you hunt in Gold 1 and want to check with another program i would like to just press one button to get to my alt program instead of scolling thru to get to my alt program . but all in all this is a great machine . I love how easy it is to colaps it and take it with me on my ATV that way its not getting hung up in branches and things in the deep woods. I bet i would have found somthing like a coin but the Mosquitoes drove me out .And one more thing the large round brass thing in picture 2 has a Iron thing in it that threw off the other detector s but not the ORX and it was only 3inches deep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaolin washer Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 Jeff i have the Equinox 600 with the 11" and 6" coil got it new in end of may this year ,never had it in the water but i dont trust it now . I will let it go with the 11" coil and the 6" coil shipped for 375.00$ I figure its chances of leaking are good , I figured it would be nice for the river but I figure its not really going to stay dry but i do most of my hunting in the woods and field, and ocasionally go to parks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is under warranty. There is zero risk. If it leaks you get a new one, if doesn't you have likely got a a reliable water machine. I just don't get the hesitancy of folks finding out one way or the other while the warranty is in effect, especially if they have a suitable backup detector to swing if the Nox has to be sent back for replacement. But whatever...take the guaranteed loss on resale if that is what you want to do. Good deal for Jeff. SMH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
