I wouldnt say that.
Mine squeaks n squarks continually on hot rocks to the point you cant use it in gold mode(Reference only)looking for surface nuggets.In the WA Goldfields.
Possibly the other modes ,may have a edge on the other single frequency VLF s but i dont see the trusted performance...
I like this test and would of liked to have seen a magnet stick to the rock.
VLF s suffer here badly and this Nokta is performing incredibly well.Folk are going to get a nice surprise when they see how the Equinox works on gold in minerialized ground.I can tell you ....not any better at...
