[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 441847, member: 487"] Nox is great on the beach Stru, firstly do a noise cancel, then find a clear patch of sand to get your sensitivity right, drop it down until the detector is running smooth, a couple of occasional chirps is ok but you don't want numerous false signals. The way to eliminate beer bottle caps is that they do not usually give stable numbers, the signals jump around a bit, to test switch to 5khz briefly and they will start chirping up into the 30's. Dig pretty much everything on the beach or you will miss gold jewellery, or at least dig everyuthing until you get a feel for the junk targets, I dig near everything though. Don't discount the dry sand either, that's where I get most of my good finds along the towel line where people sit. The gold ring I get the other day was in dry sand. I always use a pinpointer on the beach, saves me heaps of time. I only use a plastic hand scoop, for the water line a beach scoop is essential. I dig some very deep holes, the CTX will get a $2 coin down to 50cm sometimes if conditions are right with the big coil. The Nox though won't punch quite as deep but it no slouch either and will detect deep targets. Best of luck with it. :Y: [/QUOTE]
