Hey guys! I had a chance to get out the last couple of days.
Yesterday, I hit a playfield me and brother have hit hundreds of times but this time I have the nox to test out. I searched for about an hour finding only nails and newly dropped clad, however on my last signal I got a good 19-20 on my detector which is a penny usually. I dig it up and to my surprise it’s an older buckle! It’s called a lever buckle but I couldn’t find much info on it other than that so if anyone has any idea about it that would be awesome!
Later in the day I found a silver Rosie in a heavily detected area as well. Again I love the nox!

Today, I got up bright and early for low tide on a beach nearby. Less than 30 minutes in, I get a repeating 16 which is usually trash but also has a chance of gold. Well I’m glad I dug it because out oops the largest ring I have ever found! Stunned, I immediately text my brother and our buddy mike (echoplex). I do a little research and find out it’s a artcarved 14K ring which are very expensive engagement rings! Not sure how old it is maybe someone has a better clue than I do lol. Overall an unexpected weekend but a fantastic one!

NICE! I don't know what it is about the Nox? I've gone over areas I've pounded before with my Etrac, and manage to still find a few keepers with the Nox? Hate to say it but, I believe the Nox is a better machine than the Etrac at half the price.

It is pretty unbelievable. I found that buckle in a field that I have no joke hit over 100 times with the DFX. The nox is the real deal!

Awesome hunt! That's the magic of Multi IQ, the technology that allows the Equinox to penetrate the ground and search for targets with up to 6 different frequencies simultaneously. The Equinox is as solid on gold as it is on silver and copper.

What makes the Equinox special is the recovery speed is turned up nothing can hide with the Equinox..
