Thanks ridgerunner .Ill be sure to post some finds when i start becoming competent with the machine :) .

Good post ridgerunner .Like what you said about buy with your head and not your heart .i ended up getting the Nox because i just wanted something light and fast .But i can see that both are good machines for sure .

I was going to get the equinox even if the ctx was better just because the Nox is apparently much lighter than the ctx and the 40khz seems nice .

So i was discussing this with my friend the other day who has both ctx3030 and equinox and he said he never takes his ctx out anymore because he feels like Everytime he takes it out hes missing targets .His explination for this was that the ctx uses FBS which has a tendancy to mask targets...

Haha no probs tim :).Im really excited to use it to be honest .I used to have a ctx but was just too heavy for long detecting sessions and i never really got on with it .Not just that but the 40khz i can see being very useful when looking for gold and stuff on the beach .I kinda agree that you...

God how nice would it be to find some gold sovereigns haha :D .Yeh very true you definatly need to master your machine .

So guys a friend of mine asked me what pinpointer he should get and i thought about all the pinpointers i have used over the years and i have to say when i go over All of them the answer might be surprising to alot of other detectorists . The pinpointer that i liked the most .Price wise ,value...

Hey Heatho thanks for the input.I used to own a CTX way back but found after swinging it for a hr or so the thing would just get too heavy .So looking forward to having something lighter to be honest .Alot of people have been saying that to me actually that the Nox is more like a $2000 machine...

Hi OldGT thanks so much for your input .Yeh i have heard from alot of people thats its one of the best machines they have used .Like versatility wise .I heard the F2 iron bias helps alot with bottle tops but i have no idea as i have never used the machine before . Im really excited to use this...

Hey guys so i bit the bullet and ordered the equinox 800 .I was wondering how are you guys doing with the machine .I recently watched a video where it was picking Up a tiny gold necklace on the beach .There was also some people saying that it was picking up things the ctx couldn't see .but i...

Is it just me or does anyone else think Minelab is wasting their time with the new vanquish range of detectors? I just don't understand why they would make this Machine when they could of made a CTX6060 or 4040 or a new Nox machine. I understand they want to attack the lower price market, but...

Hey guys so im kinda tossing up between the equinox 800 and the xp orx .Have any of you guys used these machines before or both and know how they compare to each other ?.Any insight would be greatly appreciated .
