Dan(NM) Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I took my EQ to an old high school that I've been hunting for the last few years to see what the Nox could do. I started off in park 1 and the very first target was a solid 13 within 3 minutes, turned out to be a 1912 V-nickle at close to 5", I did my happy dance and knew this was going to be a fun machine. First impressions, of course, light, very fast and the responses left no doubt when you hit a good target. I'm not 100% sold on the sound of the wireless head phones, I think I'll end up using my Killer B's when I find the adapter for the WM08 I'll say this, nickles lock on 13 solid. I ended up with a double nickle trifecta, first time for me. 2 V-nickles, 2 buffs and 2 Jefferson's came out within the first hour. I found that customizing is very easy on fly if you can remember what the advanced settings do. I love that I can adjust the tones and the breaks much like my CTX and it's very easy to do so. Overall, I feel like it was worth all the waiting and can't wait to get a better grasp of what this machine can really do after a few more outings. I did dig a 9" wheat, the numbers bounced, but, I did get a repeatable high tone, very impressive!! I'm somewhat handicapped when it comes to relating what I'm thinking and being able to articulate it. If you have a question, fire away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan It loves small tiny stuff at depth, I chased a few tiny items at first just to see what it was. I started cherry picking after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it gives ID usually letting one know. I could see a relic hunter loving this machine, the response in iron is very impressive. There's no doubt when you hit a nonferrous target. I'm used to the slow recovery of the CTX, this thing is instantaneous!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
