[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 527274, member: 2152"] Was going to add a couple of things but the OP turned up for a single day then never returned. Without furthering the settings discussion the Nox is only good for small gold, unless for some miracle you happen on a chunk that noone ever waved over or dismissed as junk, and the milder the ground the better. Forget TID or youll be wasting time, Ive found that small iron chips ring up near the same range as tiny gold at times and vice versa. And youll need the patience of a saint. Even in not too mineralized ground you could throw 20 pieces over your shoulder behind you and be lucky to find 15 again, but its certainly capable if you put the time in. Ive done a Monster vs 800 test a few times, often wondered how the Eureka would have compared although Ive never used one. But for gold purposes the Nox 800 is pretty damn good on gold jewellery, despite Mrs GTs protests Ive tested it more than a few of her fancy items a few times in different ground, if it was in a park or not too deep on the beach its very cabable.
