    Best place to sell gold or have it refined

    Another vote for Midwest Refineries. Before Covid 19 back in January 2020, they had outstanding communication and very fast turnaround time.

    Which coil for ORX ??

    If you hunt for really small low to mid conductor targets like micro gold jewelry, small gold nuggets, smaller deep stuff or hunt in high mineralization the HF 9" coil would be my choice since it has higher frequencies and only goes down to 13 kHz. If you are mostly looking for bigger targets...

    Another 50 tone vs. 5 tone question.

    I've used all of the tone settings. Depends on where and what I'm hunting. Sometimes 50 tones gets to be too much for me in a modern aluminum trash filled park and I'll switch to 5. Sometimes in really thick iron trash when I'm relic hunting or gold prospecting in a Park or Field mode, I may...

    setup nox600 for freshwater hunting

    Here is a little quote from Steve Herschbach about the modes on the Equinox in terms of "hotness" In order or "hotness" : Hottest (more sensitive to small targets, hot ground/rocks, and saltwater) 1. Gold Modes 2. Park Mode 2 and Field Mode 2 3. Park Mode 1 and Field Mode 1 4. Beach Mode 1 5...

    setup nox600 for freshwater hunting

    Personally, I use the mode that works best. I have used Park 1 at saltwater beaches and I have used Beach 1 in the middle of the AZ desert prospecting for gold and in areas in the Western USA where the ground has a lot of evaporated salt. Beach 1 and especially Beach 2 have two ground balance...

    setup nox600 for freshwater hunting

    I usually use Park 1 (recommended in the manual for freshwater hunting). I ground balance in the wet sand and have sensitivity around 20 unless its too noisy. Jeff

    Elusive hoard of gold coins thoroughly conceiled

    I could have sworn this was the PROSPECTING forum.................. not treasure hunting forum.

    Racer 2?

    Nokta Makro has an official warranty repair facility in Ringgold Georgia. I'm sure they would work on your Racer 2 The address is on the Nokta Makro website.

    Great video by Calabash on 4 Klz!

    Thanks for the awesome video Calabash. I only wish 4 kHz would work out here in the Rocky Mountains. Unfortunately, the lower transmit frequencies do not get much depth in the high mineralization out here. I can sure see using it where you are and I might be able to use it as a double check for...

    More APEX Hunting..........

    Thanks John, yes that does help. I have detected in Alberta some and your modern clad are definitely an adventure, no point rejecting the ferrous range for sure. I have long been hoping for a Garrett or First Texas modern multi frequency detector that could do well in higher mineralization and...

    More APEX Hunting..........

    Thanks for sharing your information so far John. I have a couple of questions. How accurate is the target ID on 4 to 6" deep low to mid conductors like lead, nickel or brass? How is it on small gold jewelry or even sub gram nuggets? Thanks, Jeff

    nox 600 been updated to 3.0, any difference for beach users?

    Since Beach is just multi who knows? Whether Minelab added 4kHz just as a single frequency option and/or it was already in multi frequency to begin with or ?????????? These two statements in the 3.0 update seem to contradict each other..... "All other single and multi-frequency settings are...

    Iron Bias

    The manual only says that "iron bias is only available when operating in multi". It doesn't say if there is any iron bias filtering happening or not in single frequency. I read somewhere that in Multi the Nox processes the return ferrous/non-ferrous signal as a 1 to 3 ratio with 1 iron signal...

    ORX Gold ring setting

    You may find a gold ring with those settings. You will also dig some nickels which is good. You will also dig a ton of aluminum pull tabs and can slaw. Gold rings are worth the trouble however.

    Deus XP 11in Coil ?

    The original black XP Deus coils were roughly 4 kHz to 18 kHz with slight frequency shifts. The X35 coils which replaced the older black coils are roughly 4kHz to 28 kHz with slight frequency shifts. So the X35 coils have 35 frequencies which is 5 more than the older black coils. They work on...

    ORX users can you check something for me please??

    If you mean is there no pinpoint mode in Goldfield on the Deus, no there isn't. The pinpoint button becomes a ground balance Ground Grab button in Goldfield. Jeff

    Looking for someone in Colorado to do some prospecting

    The Gold Prospectors of Colorado is a non-profit club for prospectors from all over the country. Their dues are $25 per year and that gets you access to their claims. I don't know if their claims are for group digs only or if you can go by yourself. They are located in Colorado Springs and are...

    DEUS xp 11 in. DD coil.

    The original XP Deus coils were all DD coils-9", 11", 11X13" and all ran at 4, 8, 12, and 18 kHz.

    ORX users can you check something for me please??

    Hi bigtim1973. That is how mine works too. Maybe it is because pinpoint mode in the Gold modes is basically the same thing as the Gold modes themselves. Personally, I rarely use pinpoint mode or a pinpointer when I'm gold prospecting. That would take all of the fun out of scraping a scoop across...
