Minelab xterra, Whites DFX, Notka Makro Simplex. Folks the price don’t mean everything, the question is are you willing to put in the time to learn the machine, experience will pay off I guarantee it.

Just curious this question is for users of theses machines, what operation mode do you find is best park 1, 2 or field. Machine is nice , all machines get fooled by targets. What is recommended to get best performance , other than tone and vdi recognition, notching which I don’t advise because you miss targets.

Appreciate that, the problem is they are a dime a dozen , I no this isn’t rocket science, but the topic like thousands have been ask many times but not easy to find even in categories, seems like categories don’t get response for weeks at times anyhow I take members advice more serious because as you no some get paid or monetized to talk products fine, and All we want is simple truth. But yes I like YouTube. Thanks

In my own personal experience with the Nox 800, Field 1 has worked the best for me in iron infested spots. I run it with no discrimination with the stock 2 tones, but I do turn the iron volume down. This helps to unmask targets hidden in the iron. I hunt a lot in ghost towns and old railroad station spots, plenty of iron trash in the ground around these areas.

I just got mine and have only hunted with it a few times. I've been using Park 1 and running it the same as CoinHunterAZ, that is no discrimination and the iron volume turned down. In fact, I was able to pull some decent relics from "the iron" today.

I'll keep experimenting.
