    Headphone problems

    I was hunting the beach yesterday and went to take my headphones off and one of the muffs fell free of the headband. After much patience and frustration I was able to get it back in the slot. Today after a recharge the headphones would not pair up with the control unit causing me to abort my...

    Tried something out of character for the Nox

    I was out hunting the wet sand last night just before low tide 1 am,almost a full moon and only partly cloudy. Enjoyed the peace and solitude. I was digging bottle cap after bottle cap and pulling the coil back in all metal to hear the iron grunt.Also dug many pull tabs. Got tired of hearing the...

    A neclace found

    The other day I found a neckless that was so encrusted and black I started to toss it. The links were almost welded together with encrustation. It took quiet a bit of manipulation to get it freed up. I haven't attempted to clean it yet but it has been in the sand so long that it is pitted and I...

    Small chain found.

    Found a small 925 chain with a sideways cross pendant.Weighs in at 4.7 grams. I was hunting in beach 1 mode and had discriminated out pull tabs and bottle caps.6" deep high tide line hit a 23-24 vdi. Now this is a small chain that had the clasp open and the NOX hit it solid. I'm impressed.

    Todays adventure with the NOX 800

    I'll admit I don't know what I'm doing with this detector but I'm willing to learn and try different settings. I put it in Park 1,1 with a neg 3 GB,9 iron bias and 15 megahertz. In a yard that has been hit hard by every other brand of detector,I found 47 cents in clad 1 quarter,1 dime,one...

    Nox's love affair with nails?

    The Nox sure loves nails. My Etrac does too but as least it has an FE number to give you a little bit of an edge at not digging. Can someone here give me some way of id 'ing nails or recommend some settings to give a user a little bit of heads up about not digging so many. Yesterday I was...

    TDI for you relic hunters.

    Today I took the Nox800 into a field where I frequently hunt civil war relics.I was hunting in Park 1-2. I dug alot of iron but nothing significant Not knowing what or how a minnie ball sounded I probably missed a few.Anyway I took another detector with me that gives a very distinctive sound and...

    First coin with the 800

    Went to a yard that I have pounded with my Etrac,ATP and ATMax. The last coins I pulled with the Max was a Roosevelt and a 45 War nickel in the same hole with 3 nails. Yesterday I pulled a 1920 Buffalo approx. 8 inches deep in a hole with two nails.read a solid 13 vdi. I plan on going back when...

    If only?

    If Garrett had left the frequency of the ATP in the Max or could retro-fit it back in to the machine What a Winner that would be. Can't fault that 15 to get the goodies.

    Ground Balance is the key

    I firmly believe that ground balancing is the key to the Max. You need to locate a non metal spot and pump the Max quickly until it goes completely silent and then make your other adjustments. Seems to work for me.

    N EL Tornado woks fine.

    I just tried my Tornado on my Max it is much quieter than the stock coil and is dead on with the VDI's not wandering all over. I also changed batteries from the ones that came with the Max. I don't know if the batteries are at fault for all of the other variables that seemed off before, only...

    Not alot of Performance information being shared

    I know there are a lot of units being used right now but there does seem to be a lot of performance information being shared. I would like to hear about VDI's are they the same as the Pro? How about GB are you getting about the same numbers as the Pro? How about depth on your finds? One thing...

    Stock coil performance question

    I am using the stock coil. Its always sounding off and the VDI's are jumping all over the place. There is a wide variation in the numbers. My ATP will lock onto a coin and not vary more than one number on either side of an ideal VDI for a particular coin. For instance a zincoln will hit 75-76...

    Run the MAX for 15 minutes

    I detected a yard today that I have pounded time and time again. It is my go to spot when I have no where else lined up. I've beat this yard with my ATP and my ETRAC. The last three outings didn't even produce one stinkin Lincoln. I decided to run the Max over it. I only got to detect for about...

    No tone on wireless headphones?

    OK I fully charged my headphones. I still don't get a double tone when I turn my Max on and hold for a reset. Is anyone else having a similar problem? Also I'm getting a rather constant static or scratching sound and no iron growl. I'm thinking I may have defective headphones can others please...

    ATM report

    Just got my ATM from Kellyco to day. Think I might have got a bad coil it was throwing VDI's all over and had a really annoying static or scratchy sound. This is after the first turn on and off. I turned it on the second time and the first thing I noticed after doing a factory reset is I didn't...

    The sweetest sound I've heard the Etrac make since I've been hunting.

    I was hunting the wet sand a couple of days ago. I heard the sweetest low tone I've heard on my Etrac since I've been hunting, Out popped this little number from about 6-8" Its a Turkish coin minted between 1803 and 1829. It is 1.57 grams of 22K. My first GOLD coin. I'm sorry I didn't confirm...

    Anyone do an air test on Gold with the Garrett Carrot?

    I have and can only get about a half inch response. Anyone else tried this with similar results. It seems to function great on all other metals and usually gives me 4-5 inches.

    Here is a special Christmas Tree for all you diggers.

    This was not my idea but I thought it was most appropriate. Apparently the other site thought it too festive for their faces. Merry Christmas to ne and all and may all of your bucket list be found this coming year.
