Nox 600

[Rob183]

Last night at our club meeting I was made aware of a great deal on a gently used Nox 600. I currently use a Nokta Legend but it is just not clicking for me. Would the Nox be more user friendly and is it still a relevant machine?

I have never owned a Nokta but I bought a 600 right when they came out. It replaced my Explorer SE. It is a great machine to this day and is a backup to my 900. I put a 6" coil on the 600 and still use it for around trees and along sidewalks. If it is a great deal you should buy it and try it! You might put the Nokta in the closet!

I do not have the 600, but have an 800 (few more features), but have a friend that uses the 600 and he loves it.
Before that he had the Simplex, but likes the 600 much better.
Still a very capable machine in my opinion.

I had a 600 and it was a great backup machine. Just no stock wireless headset, and a few less programs than the 800/900

Funny story: I was working in Afghanistan when I got it mailed to me and I went out to the volleyball court (sand) in the middle of our base (Kandahar), after 5 minutes I dug my first signal which was a 10k small gold ring.

600 is a great machine, especially with the 10x5 coil. I've had a ton of good finds from park to beach with mine. Still have it as a loaner/backup behind the Manticore. But for the right price I would pick one up definitely.

Much more user friendly, I have a legend but I clicked with mine. Also have a 700 and 800. All about having fun, id snag that 600.

If this machine does not have any warranty left on it, I wouldn't buy it. The original round of the 600/800 had lots of quality issues, broken ears on coils and leaking control units. My 600 only lasted 3 years and died.

Now the upgraded 700/900 are much better. Tony has a 900 for sale at a steal of a price and condition. I would have bought it but just got 900 from a local guy.
You'll get 3 years of warranty on the newer machine and better build quality. Its worth the extra money for peace of mine.

Good point. I replaced 4 coils for my 800 under warranty

Preference really,, anymore all machines will find just as much as the other.i know guys will say the manticore is better than the deus 2,and the deus 2 is better than the nox 800,etc..But I doubt any of the machines made in the last 6 years will out hunt one another, I've used them all and that's my perspective
