The equinox is a hypersensitive machine,meaning it reads everything pretty much,it’s fast.Ive ran a lot of hypersensitive machines,difference is they had a 100 point ID scale.So when it jumped around in the 80s,it was either a dime or quarter,,jumped around in the 70s it was a zinc or copper penny..
The nox jumps around quite a bit,and the coins are so close together in the ID scale,that’s why I call it lumped together.When a Indian reads 19,20,,and a zinc reads 23 24,And a dime reads 25 26,,well,,when those numbers start jumping they smear together and it’s pot luck to me what’s under the ground.
If it were just me saying it I’d agree with you.But any thread I go to on the nox multiple people are saying what I described,the ID gets smeared,and it’s inconsistent as Ohiochris put it.
I’m not at all putting the nox down ,but it is what it is from my use of the machine,and from what others experienced also..I will say if the nox says it’s a coin,it’s a coin.Its light,swings ok for being a little nose heavy,,it is a nice machine.But to me it does not ID as good as others in its price range.Ive done the wiggle,been running Minelabs since the explorers came out,always did the wiggle.
Here’s the kicker.I have nothing in it,other than giving my personal experiences with the equinox.And the only downside I can say about it is it does not ID as good as other machines.Not a big deal,really.Im not bashing it,just stating my in field use of the machine.
Some guys are out of control with this whole equinox deal,not you Halfstep,,but some members are just one hot mess if I say somthing slightly negative about it.But hey,it’s just my opinion,not a fact.
