Very promising

by definition are not you doing exactly what you are preaching against?

just for the record i never asked for a review from any tester or otherwise i am quite capable of testing my own unit if i so choose too, i sure don't need to be told what to expect by someone i don't know or want to know.

there is nothing else to discus and that's not my fault.

There are all Toys for Big Boys...I know I will get one..just can not help myself...Because ..I am one of the Biggest Boys on here!...
 
The only thing I am going to say about testers.
They know if they say NEGATIVE things about products they will never be chosen to be a TESTER again.
Think about it you are a Company and someone post your detector has no depth leaks ETC ETC do you think that company would say hey send him another detector to test next time and tell the public about it.
And the new TESTERS are trying to become Internet Stars on YOUTUBE ETC ETC and make a living from it. You can see it just as well as I do one even complained someone" stole" a link from his website but yet post links all over other people websites LOL.
I like watching the videos too but just keep these things in mind and the best tester is yourself.
You know Winter settled in that is for sure.

My post wasn't directed at you in anyway.

LOL I am agreeing with what you were saying!
 
I can say I pulled 500 targets from my spot in 30 minutes does it make it true?

I have a lot of respect for someone like Steve who obviously puts ALOT of effort into his craft. And since he’s been looking in these places for 3 years and was able to pull (quick calculation from pic) 300+ targets out of these places in 48 hours ON TOP of what he’d found before...the EQ may very well obsolete the VLFs he’s been using.
I am curious if Randy Horton has been testing the Equinox as well?
 
I remember when everyone hated the SOV's back in the day. Hell even me I sold and bought it three times back then.

AJ is spot on here. I used an Explorer XS for years. Loved it. My hunting buddy thought it sounded like a dying flutist. Picking your main detector is a very personal thing.
I think before we head off and buy a new detector, we all want to know if that dog can hunt.

My impression so far is YES, I believe this dog can hunt. Watching these reports this dog may have some real talent. Will I like the machine in my hand hunting my locations? I will have to decide that when the package arrives and I get to start using it in the field.

Steve sold all of his other VLF's after his experiences with the EQ, but not the Gold Monster I believe

that's proves its a joke , never seen so many 2nd hand detectors right after release for sale here as the monster seems its a real flop in Australia for what ever reason people are parting with them in droves here.

Here we go again, it's funny that many people are saying that this New miracle is the best just because people that work with Minelab are saying so. Maybe i should of said I DONT BELIEVE IN THIS , UNTIL I TRY IT. Like someone said above it's ilogical this testers will Say negative things about the detector that this manifacture invested thousandas or millions in money , it's so simple to understand this. Why am i so skeptical with this. I am a ctx 3030 user, yes its a very good detector, but it's not that gooooood like Minelab said, it's not the future of Discovery like they said, there have been only two updates in 6 years , in only one Word they lied to us!!! And yes i still believe it's PROPAGANDA. I Will not make the same mistake i made with ctx before , i am going to wait and see REAL tests from people that don't have nothing to do with Minelab, and then i Will decide if i buy it ir not.




Hey i Will buy this miracle pills because label says so!!

Wow sour grapes much. I have used whites, Garretts, minelabs and Technics machines. Many are good but the ctx hands down is better then anything else I have used. Now in recent years the at pro Deus in some soils and conditions challenge or match the ctx. In the end it's the user that defines the machine. Where did minelab "lie to you" what upgrades did the ctx need betond those 2 up dates? Reality is the ctx maxed out the capability of FBS tech. That fact is you have no more evidence to support your claim then Steve does his claims. So your view is equally hype just a negative version. For the record your opinion is noted . Guess what so is mine till the machine proves itself or fails we both are only guessing. It's funny to me you throw rocks at guys like Steve and Brandon but get so defensive when some calls you out. I shared this so those of us who were curious how the tester felt may read it and take it as more info. So I guess minelab should stay silent not promote the product right? Oh wait the did that and this forum went apes#$t cause no info was put out. It's obvious that many have faith in Minelab and at this point preorders were maxed out so what are they hyping again?
 
I remember the gold monster it was a wow machine for "testers", why are so many people selling their super monster machine, mtwolf?

Don't know never owned a gold monster MEV. Why don't we see tons of ctx for sale used like we do at pro, t2, whites etc?? I am not saying the nox will be the end all be all. Do I think it will likely out perform most yep sure do. Do I believe it may even challenge the old tech of FBS yep very likely, do I think minelab spent millions in r and d and will multi iq be where they devlope future machines sure do. I see detectors like tools in tool box you can't use a hammer for everything. Just like no machine can do it all. Do I see the nox filling a void and perhaps repalcing some of my machines yep sure do. The fact still remains your opinion and skeptical view has no more merit at this point then my postive opinion and view.
 
Tough crowd here. I see why Steve chose to post his findings on his own website.

Careful not to turn this into an inhospitable place where detectorists new or old are reluctant to post for fear of being crucified.

We need posts by beginner and veteran alike.

Funny, I never heard a single word about it. Even today it takes research to find anything on it. Maybe the problem is that you are hanging around the wrong people.

You are right in the fact that there is a way to properly criticize. However, if you are truly are objective, then the ridicule of your results is part of the process of the test and shouldn't affect you. Normally, the results should be no reflection on the tester, but on the tests themselves. However, in this case, there seems to be the possibly of skewed data. Seems to me that this possible, skewing, is what skeptics here are concerned about. People here and on other forums are perceptive and will know if something doesn't add up. This is the case.

I know there are loyalists wherever you go. Some will defend certain people so blindly, that they fail to see facts. You can only take someone at their word until they do something to make you think twice. Steve has done that IMO.

Lastly, I expect nothing less for myself. I always ask people to critique and criticize my videos. I make mistakes.
 
I find those that point fingers at others for cheating and faking are usually the ones guilty of being sneaky and under handed. I don't know Steve but I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. His reputation says alot more then those of you I have never heard of till this thread. I have been down this road with the ctx I stopped posting on here because of the ridiculous pretty bs and I see it has not changed. I have no issue with being skeptical or even cautious but to completely call people liars and claim it's bs when you have 0 evidence of that is asinine. To be frank I truly don't care if you anyone on here buys a nox, loves the nox or hates the nox. Just so sick of the petty baseless claims. I started this thread and will help it die off by going back to ignoring this fourm till I have my nox and then welcome your attempts to call my finds and opinions out. Good luck and happy hunting ...
 
Thanks for posting that, found it informative (actual no,s and settings) and interesting.

First, this is a forum and the purpose is to discuss things whether you are for the subject, or against the subject.

Second, if you think myself, Steve, or anyone is infallible, beyond bias, or otherwise perfect, you are in for a rude awakening. As a tester myself(for other products), I felt slightly bias just for the simple fact I was picked as a tester. That's not to say you can't be objective, however, subconsciously, you may have a bias.

Lastly, having said the above, I feel that the timing of the article, as well as the content seems highly suspect. I have found a spot like that loaded with silver coins, but it was never hit before. To say this is a spot that was hit by peter, pau,l mary, and hundreds of others, and they all missed all those silvers in a picnic area, appears to be too unrealistic for my own tastes.

I will be getting my Equinox early Feb by the latest and I will be able to do some tests. If my ground thaws, maybe some in ground stuff or an actual hunt. I will post the video.

Can’t wait. I’m sure some will call you a liar and argue anything you post as well.
