New eqinox 800's being sold????

I GOLF, I hunt, I fish, I enjoy shooting sports, I kayak, and oh yeah, I metal detect too.

It's called enjoying life. Everyone has their own ways to do it. I don't knock any of them. If it gets you some fresh air, a little exercise, and you enjoy it, it's all good!

Have to agree on the small jewelry. I have never dug as many small stud earrings, even t tiny earring backs, water hunting with other detectors as I have with the Nox in the last couple months. Simply amazing!

It is an interesting detector.

Problem is some folks got one rushed out to their gardens and didn’t Like what they saw or heard. Bad move. And some unloaded or starting degrading Nox.
I generally don’t post loads about mediocre detectors as far as how I feel about them and or what I witness.
