    Changing settings.

    Have just found a set of new settings for beach use for my new nox. If I change the settings do I have to save them or will I just have to press the button on the right side of the control box. Thanks in advance.

    Hand pain caused by the Equinox’s grip

    Went out for a few hours the other day down the beach, no problems with wrist pain. I use a harness just to keep the nox out of the rocks but I noticed that I do not grip the handle and just hold it loose with my thumb resting on the right of control box. May be of help. By the way I was 71...

    Gold ring!!!

    This is the ring that I found earlier in the week but as the tides have been very long I have been out most days. The beach it was found on is very hard to detect because of the tons and tons of scrap metal that was dumped there before the tourists started to come to Cornwall. By the harbour is...

    Factory settings for 800

    Went to one of my winter beaches yesterday which is infected with masses of scrap iron and large amounts of fishing weights. As my SE pro died after 10 years I went for Nox 800. Using basic factory settings to detect at low water as I usually pick up lost fishing tackle where the line is still...

    800 numbers?

    After my SE Pro died again I bit the bullet and purchased an 800. Had an outing down the beach yesterday but as the sand is very deep not much to find. Question is there a number under which you will not dig. Also if the signal jumps about the numbers is it worth digging. As I am not getting the...

    Silver?

    I have read somewhere that the equinox is not very good at finding silver but I now cannot find the comment again, it was not on this site. As most of my finds are mainly silver I would like to find out before I purchase one as my 10 year old SE Pro which has been worked to death has now given...

    Question!:ukflag:

    Found this ring with my SE Pro a couple of weeks ago, didn't bother very much as there were no markings on it so I just put it on one side. Took it to thr jeweller's the other day but he could not help. On returning home I started to check things on the web, one site explained how to test for...

    Seahunter Mk II:ukflag:

    Just cashed in a few finds and invested in a new Garrett Seahunter Mk II as there are about 400 beaches in Cornwall a lot with deep sand. Anyone got ideas about using it and setting it up or is it just the usual 50-100 hours of practice.

    Help required:ukflag:

    When I was detecting last week I laid the detector on the ground and it started to play a tune then switched off. When I turned it back on again there was quite a long comment on the screen which I could only read the first couple of words which said This battery or the battery. The batteries...

As I don't use headphones I have a thick plastic bag over the battery compartment but a little water still got in, I also have a bag over the electronics box, the machine then went off. Fortunately I...
