SittingElf Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Received a USPS notice this AM that my new 600 is on the truck for delivery! Woohoo! I conducted what will probably end up as the finis-hunt with my aging GTI 2500 yesterday. (Not that is not a coin hound...2 40's wheaties, 3 60,s dimes, and a ton of copper cents...all from a yard of a soon to be demolished house across the street from our Base House) The itch I have had waiting for my name to move up the 800 list with my dealer will be scratched by being able to use the 600 to learn all the basics of the Nox. When the 800 finally gets to my door, it'll just be the process of learning the fine tuning of the advanced features. I saw a post here or somewhere about another person who had both the 600 and waiting on the 800. He said he plans to keep the 600 and use it for the accessory coils when they are available, and keep the stock coil on the 800. I really liked that idea, so I've made the decision that once I have both detectors in hand, I'll keep them and use the same way. That means the GTI 2500 with 4 coils (two are imaging), and the Treasure Hound "Eagle Eye" dual box coil will go up for sale. ( My arm and shoulder will also thank me, as it weighs about 1.5lbs more than the Nox) Haven't been this enthusiastic about a purchase in a long time. Multi-generational leap over what I've been using since 2006! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiftaaft Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Congratulations SE! I think you will be VERY happy with the 600! Be sure to post about your hunts and findings! Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SittingElf Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 Postman just came....with a box! E600 has ARRIVED! 5 minutes later, it's on a 5v, 2.1amp charger getting souped up! Weather tomorrow is looking perfect. The 600 will be losing her virginity first thing in the morning. Big Shoutout to Wayne and Doug at metaldetectingstuff.com for their VERY fast shipping and customer service! ( I ordered on Friday the 30th, and in my hands today! Awesome!) Also got an email from my other dealer (USADetectors.com) who thinks he may be getting a shipment of 800's later this week, and may be enough to fulfill my 800 order. WOOT! I love working with small and family owned businesses vs the majors. Always have the time to talk to you and are far more responsive to queries and service. Results of my first hunt with the 600 tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SittingElf Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 First positive... I've read that the 600 and 800 come with the battery at about 50%. I put the new 600 on a 2.1amp, 5v USB charger and it only took 2.5 hours to get to steady green, fully charged. So the Phillips multi outlet wall charger I have will work perfectly for charging. Rereading the manual one more time...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
