Dave, I have no issue at all with your responses to me. I figure we are about the same age, I am 76, and I actually dont hear all that well, so I use hearing aids with the earbuds. Gets louder than hell! We all have opinions and we all should respect each others opinions, as they are exactly that, an opinion. We dont have to agree, but we also dont 'have to voice' our disagreements in a confrontational manner. Many years ago I posted about digging a hole in the woods about 3' across and 2' deep and getting some 90+ coins there! I was pounced upon by some 'elitist' telling me that I had damaged the reputation of all metal detector types by digging a hole in the woods! It was in my OWN freaking woods and I did put the dirt back, but that was not enough for the "I gotta tell this guy" a-hole! With all the crap going on in our country now we got bigger fish to fry.

Jas415, that was a good response.
I had the same thing happened to me a few weeks ago by another poster on this forum.
These are our opinions and typed in a way to offer some helpful advise trying to understand each other’s situation.
Sorry to hear about the woods issue - that’s just nuts.

Very interesting on the hearing aids and earbuds! Glad you didn't take my typed words as condescending, as they were not meant to be. Believe me I thought long and hard before I wrote this! I knew there was going to be some push back. I have not stuck the Nox on one swipe of soil, but as I have told most of my water friends "I bet this thing is a monster on land"
Think if I ever found 90 coins in one spot I would pass out. I will be back on the Nox in July. Have a great summer hunt!

Well yesterday was the day had been waiting for in a long time. I have a friend who has a Nox 800 and is very accomplished on land with it. In fact if most of you were to see his colonial silver finds with the Nox you would pass out.
YESTERDAY, started working with my machine for the first hour and a half, same issues in moving salt water as normal. Unhooked my machine and plugged his into my phones and the next hour and a half was exactly like my machine. Zero difference in depth, sounds, target ID issues, recovery, lost targets in moving salt water. I also did testing with different recovery speeds and IB, as compared to sensitivity. Worked tracking GB as well as fixed 0 GB. Standing by all of my original reporting and just stating that there are issues with the Nox in moving salt water.

Wow!! I’m sorry to hear that! I’m not experiencing any of those issues whatsoever. I hunt S. Florida beaches all the time. Very salty! So far I’m satisfied! I don’t doubt you on how your feelings about the Equinox, it’s just funny how some aren’t happy and most are???? I’m plenty experienced using the Excalibur, Sovereign,E-trac and other brands! Minelab units have always performed well for me , including Equinox . I’m puzzled by your results.
Again , I don’t doubt Dave’s findings! I’m beginning to wonder if he has faulty unit?? I’m averaging about 20 on sensitivity, beach 2 and 0 ground balance. I hunt right where the waves crashing along my coil with little problems & minor adjustments! You might want to have unit looked at. Weird!
