Hit a silver dime trifecta today in my local trashy park with my 800. Hit 7 wheat pennies as well. All targets were at least 6 inches deep and mixed in amongst trash. Except rosie dime was right next to a nail by sidewalk I have pounded. I literally followed my buddies footsteps while he was using is racer 2. He did not hit any of these targets. I am really starting to love this machine. And if you check my first few threads I was not impressed right away. I got a couple of the digs on camera even. I will be posting that at some point. Keep in mind this is a small park that I and others have absolutely pounded for years and years.

Awesome job! How were the id’s on the coins???
IMO if your not hunting nail beds or a gold field the 600 is fine but it doesn't have wireless phones with it..
Nox crushes Deus here 11" coil to 11" coil here on the above. Based on first and accounts me using and testing.
I would say the success of the Equinox depends on how it stacks up against the Impact or Kruzer--other new, wireless, fast, mid-priced machines that do well in trashy environments.
Before the Equinox came out I was going to buy a used Exploer/e trac / safari. Glad I didnt. The weight would kill my arm. I saw it as a chance to own a deep machine that unmasks superbly and works in saltwater to boot!Amazon is all over the news with fake reviews,people actually getting paid to give 5 star review.As for Minelab,they had trolls doing this for years.But,I’ll be the first to say Minelab does make a very good machine.
Last week I was ready to buy a nox.I still am but a little hesitant again.Reason being,Ive saw at least 5 different nox 600 machines for sale used in the 5 to 600 dollar range,and although some sold ,some haven’t.and nobody jumped on the ones that sold,took a day or 2.
So,I know the 800 is on backorder,,and I also know from reading there’s not worlds of difference between the 600 and 800,,more of a difference for a relic hunter than a coinshooter.
I’m guessing the jury is still out as far as a lot of people are concerned,buyers that is.It just makes me wonder why,and just maybe it’s not worth giving up machines that people are already comfortable with,the gain could be minimal at best.
I see the nox as a good unmasker in iron.Ocassionally I run into some iron,mostly bigger iron.I don’t hunt nail riddled sites,so no need for a machine that does great on a nail test.
I just don’t know,I like Minelab and want to give them the benefit of the doubt.I have the 705 with a few good coils,and it works great.Its a toss up now between a Etrac or a nox for my next purchase,I Guess it’s the unknowns that are stopping me from buying a nox,and the unknowns about the nox that’s stopping me from buying a Etrac.lol.
I just took my deus back over the bob cat site I hit with the nox pulled a few I missed with it. I think both machines will compliment each other well...
