nox 800

Good day all! Two years ago I bit the bullet and added an Nox 800 to my arsenal. I did (and still do) love my AT Pro but wanted to try something a little different. Long story short. I managed to get about thirty hours on the machine the first season. Last April my wife and I had a house...

Minelab introduced the Etrac in 2008 and the CTX3030 in 2012. Thus a four year span between the successor to the Etrac. There has been no real Minelab successor to the CTX3030 and it is certainly not the chatty Equinox 800. 10 years has passed since the introduction of the CTX3030 and with new...

My grandson is 7 I want to introduce him to metal detecting. We will be hunting a park next to the river and a 4 lane road with heavy traffic. It will drown out the more subtle tones using the external speaker. So I found out that I can let him use my Trond wireless earphones and I use a wired...

Last year I switched to 100% civil war hunting in the Atlanta areas. Lots of careful and detailed research produce four proven sites and permissions. 2 are on private property with permissions and 2 area on city pars along Peachtree creek which are well known to civil war relic hunters from the...

I have a permission on about 1 acre site that was the location of very heavy CW battle area in Atlanta. These are very rare and hard to come by. I have the Nox 800. Of course I am going to hunt this area very slow. It is also has a very small stream that I will hunt also. which coil would you...

Nah, after getting it out it then rang up varying between about 20-22 on my Nox 800, but my initial thought when finding it was "a silver bullet ?" :laughing: Hey, at least my trash to non-trash ratio was down with Thursday's (Oct 24) hunt, only 3 trash finds along with 6 non-trash finds ...

Okay, normally I would avoid posting pics of trash but I am including them for now with TID numbers as part of my education using TID numbers so you can see the numbers I got before digging. (My Nox 800 outdoor "class" in my yard Friday (yesterday) was just over 3 hours) I edited the pics to...

I did another hunt in my yard (about 3 hours), still only covered a relatively small portion of my 1 1/2 acres as I'm taking my time getting used to using TID numbers. Among my finds was what seems to be an angle brace, but the offset protrusions have me puzzled, it is fairly thick metal, you...

After a busier than usual week (and getting my wife's honey-do list done Saturday morning :lol:) I was able to get my 2nd hunt in with my new Nox 800 Saturday afternoon ! It lasted almost 3 hours, and still in my yard for now so I can fine tune my ability using TID numbers and make the most out...

Well, I call it more of an outdoor "classroom" in my yard rather than an offical "hunt" which I did so I can get the feel of my new Nox 800 before venturing elsewhere. First let me say I was not really surprised nor discouraged with the lack of good finds in my own yard as the land was likely...

Everytime I take the Nox for a walk, I hear so much annoying noise. After my first time out I saw a video on putting your phone on airplane mode to eliminate EMI, so I have been not even carrying the phone. Whenever I go out the Nox is giving so many signals and noise everywhwere, I only dig the...

any advice for hunting civil war relics in this type of creek in urban Atlanta? these creeks have high banks about 12 feet or better. They rise very, very quickly due to the urban surrounding building roofs and parking lots. 2 inches of rain in a couple of hours can cause a 12 inch deep creek...

I am new to hunting civil war relics but have been using metal detectors in one form or another since 1988. Mostly I hunt parks and old home sites and the beach 2-3 times per year. In a proven civil war battle area (not in any national parks but adjacent private or public property) how long do...
