Finally broke down and decided to give the Nox a try, the 600 model, and was wondering about what type of manual comes with it, easy to understand, or not? Forgot to pose this question with the dealer and also kind of wanted some of you guys thoughts on Andy Sabisch's Equinox book, so decided to ask here. Thanks in advance for your input and comments.

I have a 600 and I really like it. You have to download the manual. I have both of Andy's books and I think the second one would work for you! Good luck and remember that there are a lot of helpful users in this forum that are willing to give you a hand when you need it.

Mr. Jim, downloading the manual will be sufficient. It’s straight forward and easy to understand. Park1- multi freq is an excellent coin program and personally I’d start there. Of course you’ll get different opinions on this...
Good luck with your new machine and feel free to pm with any questions -Jim

It’s pretty intuitive Jim, you won’t have a problem with it. I found it’s a big help to put the decal on that tells you what settings you’re looking at, after several times out you’ll hop around the menu like nothing. I know...everybody says how EASY it is, right? Well, they’ve had their machine for awhile so for THEM it’s easy!
Really though, it’s pretty well laid out and you’ll pick it up quick.
Updates on your progress and thoughts on the machine when you have them please!

Yes the Equinox VDI numbers are very condensed. It has 50 VDI numbers -9 to 40 verses 99 VDI numbers for the Teknetics T2. On the Equinox -9 to 0 is the iron range. A nickel on the Equinox will give a reading of 11 to 13 where on the T2 it gives a reading of 58. A zinc cent will give a reading of 19 to 21 on the Nox where on the T2 it reads 78. A dime or copper cent on the Nox will read 23 to 25 where on the T2 it reads 83. A clad quarter will give a reading of 27 to 29 compared to 89 on the T2.

BTW Andy Sabischs' book "The Equinox Series Handbook" is one that I highly recomend to supplement the manuel on the Equinox. Make sure that you purchase the blue one. It is the latest updated edition. The yellow one is the older edition without the updates. Congratulations on your new detector. I have the Equinox 800 model and I love my Nox. You'll do well with it.Like any other new detector, it takes a lot of practice getting to learn what it's telling you. There's a big learning curve. Start out using one of the preset search modes and you can modify it to suit your type of hunting. HH
