Orx

Got the Orx ordered up from Richard! Now the wait begins!

Fill the time with YouTube and chill.

No worries on the waiting. Plenty to do until it's arrival.

& soon the fun will begin

Congrats on getting the ORX it is one of the best machines I've ever used. Give it time and learn it and you will be absolutely amazed at how much stuff you start finding even in those hunted out hammered spots you gave up on a long time ago.

Thanks. I definitly have some hammered, but not hunted out spots. First time user of the XP line and have been "chomping at the bit" on the Orx. Interesting to say the least! Any suggestions on settings will certainly be appreciated. I mainly hunt Civil War relics here in Central Va with the occasional coin finds. I'll be doing some testing of different targets to get an idea of the sounds and readouts. Plenty of time for that until the fall season gets here. Good luck hunting. Robert

I use coin deep 15.6 khz disc just enough to knock out a small nail and recovery speed on 2 and it screams on buttons and bullets. My soil is bad and I have to ground balance pretty often. If you don't like the back phones get you a set of the Quest phones that go over the ear they have great audio and fit comfortably on your head.

Thanks for the tip. I was thinking of using my Garrett wireless headphones. I have the transmitter, and a 1/8 to 1/4 headphone adapter. Hopefully that'll work.

The ORX is a very nice unit. Lightweight and it is very simple to run.

 

[HanoverDigger]

It's definitly lighter than what I am used to!

I have a question about the headset. It looks like they were made for an infant 6-9mo old. How the hell do you make them stay on your head? They do not stretch to be worn from the top of your head like normal headphones, and if you put them on from the backside of your neck, if you take a step they fall off.
What is the trick?

 

[wltdwiz]

they hang on your ears

 

[D&P-OR]

The trick is---get rid of 'em & get the over the head ones!

My favorite trick is getting the headphone jack so's I can use my own. The stock headphones (in my opinion) are cheaply made.

Will the W5 Deus headphones work with the ORX

 

[jmaclen]

No.

Several aftermarket headphones are available that use the removable volume control module from the Orx back headphones. Detekniy/Quest makes a really good one.

The WS5 would be compatible with the HF coil your ORX has but not the remote.

I got the HD headphones that accept the puck for the ORX headphones from Treasure Hunting Outfitters . They are very nice headphones and I can confirm they are plug and play with the ORX puck.

Thanks for helping me figure out the cheap ORX headphones. After an hour or so of using them they are quite uncomfortable. I took a wireless module off of another metal detector, plugged it into the ORX jack and am now using wireless earbuds.
