Re: 15" Coiltek for Nox - 3 years ago

Still finding very little between them on coins.

Re: 15" Coiltek for Nox - 3 years ago

Quick airtest indoors, ML15" vs Coiltek on low, mid and high conductors. Factory reset, volume 25, 2 tone to keep it simple. Don't hate me, take it with a pinch of salt, your miles may vary and all that good stuff!

Re: 15" Coiltek for Nox - 3 years ago

The coil ears is what worries me for such a big coil. There thinner and have less material around the hole.

No probs TNSS, only my quick view on it mate, others might find it suits their detecting ok.

15" Coiltek for Nox - 3 years ago

My 15" arrived today. What i was hoping from the coil was the same performance in sensitively as the ML 15" coil with maybe a bit more depth on coins. An air test (love or hate them) showed little to no difference between them on coins. After a run around my coin garden i defo think the ML coil performed better. The deepest coin i have is a big Viccy copper at 12", it's si

Did you find a cut Spanish that time?

Re: Coiltek coils for equinox - 3 years ago

I'm in the UK, we must have got them before the US.

Re: Coiltek coils for equinox - 3 years ago

I've the 15" coiltek coming this week, I have the Minelab 15" to compare it with.

Re: Best deep pasture machine ? - 3 years ago

I defo think the Nox is the best on picking out these little cut coins on old pastures upto the 7"-8" mark. I find it very accurate in its audio on these targets and you can with at least with some confidence know the target is going to read the same out of the hole once dug. With most other detectors I've used the ID/audio would be bouncing and giving such a scratchy mixed iron

My daughter little Golden Mask 15khz with fixed GB nails it lol

Re: Folks deciding to bury coins for safekeeping,,smart thing to do is roll before burying. - 3 years ago

I've 2 big handfuls of copper coins in my garden at 14", my Nox calls it iron!

It has to be the Nox!

Re: Name your three favorite/most productive Relic detectors. - 3 years ago

There's not really any coin hunting here, it's all relic. Equinox AKA Signum GM5+

Re: F-75., Any Model - 3 years ago

Personally I've never came across surface coins and nails, closest would be ploughed ground, so not a scenario I'd be testing my detector for to be honest. I have found plenty of old coins above, below and in the vicinity of iron with the Nox though, especially low to mid conducing silver one's.

Is this anyone one here? - 3 years ago

Re: New coiltek coils for Nox - 3 years ago

The 15" round might have a bit of depth over the ML 15", and hopefully as sensitive.

Not sure if this has been posted yet.

Re: How long until silver coins are out of reach? - 4 years ago

Most of the modern'ish (1700 onwards) coins i find are in the 6"-10" range in undisturbed ground.

Re: Equinox 12 x 15 coil question - 4 years ago

I love it, its really sensitive for a big coil.

Re: Golden Mask 5+_SE platinum ? - 4 years ago

I've had a few GM's, and my daughter has the GM one 15khz. There great detectors, tough coils, well made, super in iron etc there more relic detectors than park hunters. Warranty repairs would be your biggest concern. My daughters GM kicks my Nox on Monty's nailboard test with a high conductor coin and near identical size.

Re: Coil size? - 4 years ago

I really like the 15" on the Equinox, it's very sensitive for a large coil. Dug this yesterday, a King Henry from the 1200's

Re: AKA Intronik STF released - 4 years ago

I thought the MFD was a very good detector, it just lacked the ability it work in iron and would feel dated now compared to an Equinox in usability.

Re: APEX issue... - 4 years ago

Originally he done the test with iron audio on, I believe Monty contacted him to say he should try the test again with iron audio off in zero mode, but it made little difference in the iron nail test. The Apex costs £520 in the UK, that's more than the Vanquish pro pack or a Simplex, and I can understand their worry that it doesn't seem to be any better than either of them, and it�

Re: Garrett Ace Apex box opening - 4 years ago

There's a number of vids out, looks like a real let down.

Re: Garrett Ace Apex box opening - 4 years ago

Just watched a vid of the Apex on coke, it was reading an ID of 37 which falls into the Apex's "ferrous and very low conductivity range" of 35-45. This would be a worry, as this is probably the same range your going to find small cut silver and gold hammered coins!

Re: Garrett Ace Apex box opening - 4 years ago

Old dogs new tricks lol The Nox excels with stock coil, and the 15" adds another dimension, but don't think Monty is a fan of large coils in iron.
