The nox is such a depth monster, the issue is the (deep) caps, not the (shallow) one's .
identifying (shallow) pry caps is easy .......Id'in the (deep) ones is near to impossible.

No volume knob.... every person in the city park will know when you find a target.
The mxt speaker is very loud ........ even with electrical tape over the speaker it's blasting loud..... I hate wearing Headphones on hot days and its always hot in southern ca, .....other than that the mxt is a great detector.
