    Pushing the Depth Limits of the 800

    Depth is one thing that still baffles me. Does the sensitivity or recovery setting make the depth read true? The manual says about 2" per bar up to 4. I still try to guess how deep if I see 4 bars I think 8". Most of the time I have to dig deeper.

    Pushing the Depth Limits of the 800

    That is some excellent and helpful advice! I hear similar stuff on a mineralized beach and those two things could unlock some good stuff. Thx

    Bonehead mistakes...........

    Starting out I was getting good targets but they disapeared when I tried to pinpoint or dig. Finally figured out I was detecting my boat shoe eyelets :( Not as bad as this tho:

    It's pitiful... But its Something..!

    When I do that, I think of it as training for the real deal. You practice listening, interpreting tones, pinpointing, digging; all you need is to pass the coil over a good target. So you are 90% there! :)

    Post Your Thoughts...!! Enjoy Yor Hobby..!

    Reminds me of the British sitcom "Dectorists", where the main character had a poster of all his pull tabs listed by year and brand. Good to keep smiling.

    Is the equinox update worth it??

    I agree with @CPT_GhostLight, runs smoother, more stable near EMI for me. And again to my ears, the tones on a coin shaped object that is really a coin sound better, not as thin sounding. YMMV

    V3 Update Beach Report; My First Impressions

    Thanks Colonel Dan, glad to hear from you. My humble question is why did ML seem to think "Large targets in Asia" would require a major update roll out? What are they finding over there?

    Musket ball? Spray paint can ball?

    Does it stick to a magnet?

    Nox 800 Mods

    carbon shaft with counter weight. Needed more so made a duct tape bottle holder to balance it right for me. thin stick on cover to protect control head buttons red soft silicone washers to prevent squeaks from the coil bracket swiveling. Squeaks mean friction. Had to modify the shape some...

    I Can't Take This Anymore..!

    If you are staring at her and telling her how to do it the whole time you might be making her nervous. Time to let her try on her own and you go take a walk for a while. You could also secretly drop a coin in front of her find. Try two tones to simplify until she gets all the mechanical stuff...

    Got my 800 today.

    And it's a good idea to make your own chart if you can round up some of the items you want to find. So much variation in location, soils, EMI, on and on...

    Waterproof earbuds with hooks

    I grabbed a pair of these, have not used them underwater yet but I like them. Contact the seller, he will answer any question. https://www.ebay.com/sch/ailen07/m.html?item=193309922786&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

    Not my day!!

    One good thing about the NOX is the early warning of nearby lighting. When for no reason your machine gets real chatty real quick. Tomorrow will be the day!

    Florida beach find - ID wanted

    Thank you both, seems anything can turn up on a Florida beach. So maybe this was ships ballast? There were several pieces washed up together. Who knows? Just found this shale? conglomerate? looking rock last week. Was mid beach, not washed down. Heavy so doubt one carried it around and dropped it.

    Got my 800 today.

    Congrats - take your time. Just use and read about one mode at a time. Then when you feel like you know the default settings, change one thing. Keep notes, it's all part of the journey and will make more sense after you have some hours logged on the machine. And enjoy it! update: When you hear...
