Beg and differ all you want shoveler. I post comments all the time and almost always get a friendly reply. Calabash digger is the only one I see that doesn't allow comments on youtube because he goes one better and is active on the forums. If you have anything to comment about his videos, you can post it here or pm him.

I have a copy of Uniform Buttons of the United States 1776-1865 by Warren K. Tice in very good condition that I'd like to sell. These list for 350.00 used on Amazon. I'm asking 165.00 shipped for this copy.

So here goes my personal experience with ultrasonics.I work as a jeweler and have been using a ultrasonic for several years. The first thing is that many cleaning chemicals will dissolve copper, vinegar being one of them. Some other chemicals can oxidize silver. None of this really matters if the piece is toasted anyways, but if the coin has some value to it then I would only use water. Different

I wonder if the guys writing the Nox programs could create a program that could push all the iron to the bottom number on the VDI and give more spread to the positive side of the scale.

Harold, I'm with you on the Nautilus 2ba! Wish I had mine back. It was deep, sensitive to small targets and gave a lot of audible information about what was under the coil. Next in line would be a early production CZ7apro that would sweep the beach clean of rings and coins.

lots of good replies. I was just wondering why I was seeing so many reports from Nox users and so few from the Kruzer camp. Seems to me like there are plenty of Kruzer owners out there.

Both of these detectors came out at about the same time and are competivly priced. So, who bought the Kruzer and who bought the Equinox? Why did you pick the detector you did and are you happy with your purchase? I picked the Equinox when I decided to get back into detecting based the fact that I hunt the saltwater beach and felt like the Nox would be a superior performer in that environment. I c

Good video! My advice to anyone using the Nox based on my experience is hunt with the horseshoe engaged all the time. At the beach if it gives any iron sound, I pass it up. This is because out of hundreds of signals like this that I've dug up, all have been bottle caps. At the beach I want to dig as many good signals as I can. Relics on the other hand, if it gives any good tone that is repea

The Nox is a great beach machine once you get to know it. It's a little nose heavy if you like to hunt fast with the coil way out in front of you, but if you slow down and put the coil closer to your feet, it's not too bad. Its way easier to swing than the CZ's i've hunted with and I usually only hunt the two hours before and after low tide the low tide anyway and have experie

Not trying to razz anybody, but why is it that we always have to compare this detector to that detector? Not just for the Nox but for any new detector or coil. I like the report above just as it was written. It shows one person's perspective of how the coil performed in the field under the conditions he mentions. I'm more concerned with how the Nox with six inch coil performs rather tha

It seems to me that there has been a lot of talk about innovation on this forum and yet to me there has only been two innovations that have clearly led to more finds. The first is the implementation of multi frequency. This allowed for stable use in a wide variety of conditions. Minelab continues to be the biggest proponent of this technology even though Fisher and Whites were in the game from al

Badger, thanks for the heads up on using all metal for the beach. It worked great except when transitioning into the water. I wonder how the frequencies are weighted in all metal or if it depends on what search mode that it's attached to?

I wouldn't have paid the crazy prices that some did, but then again I got mine from Cabelas and only had to wait a week and a half to get it. I purchased the 800 and am completely happy with it's performance everywhere I've used it. To me it's as good a machine as you can get for the money. I think the problem most people are having with it is that they're not patient en

Badger, I'll have to try the all metal mode at the beach in the morning. As far as using all metal mode on the Nox, I'm in agreement with you about having more information about what you are dealing with in the ground. To me it also seems to have a slight edge in target separation. I did set mine to five tone instead of fifty to make the Minelab music more suitable to my ears.

Badger, I'm finding that all metal seems to be my most used moede with the Equinox except at the beach. I don't think it would work too well there and that's where the Equinox is having problems with bottle caps.
