[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 557195, member: 2152"] Nox will be better. Ive found gold with the Nox the GM wouldnt and the other way around, but having a 6 inch coil makes the difference. The stock coil is not suited to hot areas. If I had to choose for gold only the GM is better but not by a big margin. I say this as Ive tested them side by side. It would be hopeless for coins and relics, can barely tell gold and iron apart reliably, and if you took it out you would dig every piece of al foil and snot in the ground. You have to hunt gold more by sound on the GM because undug targets can be unreliable using the descrimination. The Nox will go anywhere and give you good indications with its number system (Target ID) and is suitable for parks and the beach. Nox can easily pay for itself in coins given enough time. Nox takes a while longer to sort out its settings as the GM is pretty simple to operate. Both can be frustrating though in the goldfeilds, at least in my experience. GM is nicer to swing all day though. Both are easily obtainable second hand and new. Hope that helps sway you one way or the other. [/QUOTE]
