I have owned a v8 Mustang new since 98, the only part broke was the signal switch which was easy enough to replace,and fluids, one battery FORD tuff.
One year a young mechanic told me needed brake shoes what a thief, another honest shop said was ok. I do my own now.
Paid hundreds to change fluids, mechanic left CLAMPS loose, bolts loose .I'm sure we all have had our troubles.

I'm sure the Nox will be very good..but the fact is gold/nickels/pulltabs have the same conductive property. Some things will never change ,I'm guessing of course newer technology or reduced cost of some technology will fine tune the good finds.

Have no idea if coils are repaired, my guess if open circuit it's shot. If it has any exposed connections available to test then some chance of salvage. My 2 cents.

A couple easy reasons..... too dam heavy and would not pick up clad if their batteries depended on it and that twit selling the swingy thingy has to much time on his hands.. I have yet to see anyone with that silly harness....but to be honest do have

I mainly buy bars, where to sell? if hold on long enough and price up...dealers buy back.
Junk silver or most silver sells very good on Ebay but there are fee's and make sure have tracking.
One flaw with tracking a buyer can return a empty box for refund with tracking, seller does not have a chance.
Here if selling over a certain amount ie 10k it is reported to revenue.

My pet conspiracy theory is does Santa Claus really exist? is there really a factory churnning out toys or is it fake news.
We see thousands of pictures of this jolly fat white bearded guy coming out of the sky ,plastered everywhere on the media.
I don't think he heard how many little boys and little girls really want the new toy Nox. and are getting cranky.

Many posters have mentioned they would buy this new model ....just need more owners reviews before spend my money. I think that is a fair comment.

Seems to be a lot of smoke and mirrors with this new model, hope not having a major issue with the technology promised, as one poster mentioned not much fun if you have to return
a brand new machine.....wait and see game.

Bit funny when Andy takes a water drink from the chemical sprayer...Simon and Garfunkel characters are great.
Maybe people will respect our choice of hobby just a little if they watch the show.
My neighbor and friend not in the hobby likes it too and actually mentioned the show for me to watch. Every time I find a great keeper I email him a picture.

I wish detector designers would just make the battery/cover easier to install, the Atpro is tight near the cable. The F2 you need to press hard to install the 9v battery always afraid it will snap.

There was lot of buzz with the Atpro also.....sure a good detector but nothing most mid range detectors can't handle the same.
I REALLY am waiting for the reviews that's for sure.
Living in the busy city need some new technology to breath life back into my very very few hunt sites. Hope it is a winner have my fingers crossed. hh

My spare F2 seems about average finding clad. Lately been digging deeper targets to get a few more finds.
As fields get mowed a lot and cuttings force the coins deeper. hh

Heck today using my Atpro received a good signal, hunt was in a forest type area, had a folding army shovel with me and dug a good foot deep then gave up..had a large 11" coil.
That was pretty deep wish had continued but had a pet dog with me had to watch. hh
