You seem very angry. Most people here are here to help. Sorry your frustrated with the Nox. I was that way with the AT Max. To me 90% of this hobby is what you are comfortable swinging. Take care.
If your not comfterable with the NOX. Then go with what you like.Definitely agree with your numbers.. for me if im not comfortable with a machine i give up on it. The AT Max i think i had for a week and sold it. Just did not get along with the tones and new i would be missing stuff. I have to like my machine enough to want to learn it.
I remember discussing this with you before,and have concluded that i think i made a bad choice and should have bought the XP product..
Learning the lesson the hard way.
I guess my NEW Member status gives you a big pedestal to stand on? You think and assume no one knows anything about anything? Nobody said anything about iron nails. F2 really?? We all updated our machines on the same day (The First day it came out). But, only you know how it works, only you know how to set it up. Only you know anything about physical metallurgy. Only you know how to check a target footprint. Your narcissistic assumptions are baffling. Why don't you tell us all about the tonal nuances with the Nox. You have years of experience with the Nox and have owned it longer then anyone. So tell us all about the tonal nuances with the Nox and the different metals. Mr. Charter Member/Siver Member guy. We are all listening now. Describe to us the tonal nuances of Said metals and the good targets.
Just to clarify my post. I travel to boat only remote locations. I generally set up a four season tent for 3-5 days and hunt 100% at night. There are very few people that would do what I do. I just finished hunting a ghost town. Research shows it dates back to 18th century but I found no proof. On my second hole I found an IHP 19th Century. After that it was 25 hours of digging trash. So to say I lost some confidence in my ability to read the Nox is an understatement after 14 months using it. I have researched everything I can find on the Nox and still do. That's why I chimed in on this thread to get some information I might not have. So spare the NEW Member a lecture on trash, being lazy, or not knowing anything about detecting or the Nox. If you have some information that is not easily found on youtube or forums or basic internet searches then share it. Otherwise spare everyone the self-righteous comments and *iss off.
This is true enough, the pinpoint on the caps and alu is like a dentists drill hitting your throbbing nerve..
I am at the stage of thinking about dicriminating from 14-20.... i really had higher expectations , that the newer machines could tell a nail and not bother us with it..!!
Alas, i must get used to digging noisy bits of crap...
All I can say is sometimes the truth is hard to reconcile. Sorry you feel that way. The non-ferrous items that you described in your post are basically impossible to disc out with 100 percent certainty and if you do try to notch targets out, there are plenty of desirable targets such as gold that can show up anywhere in the mid-conductor non-ferrous ID spectrum due to variations in mass and shape. Copper nails are going to sound as good as copper coins. Round mid-conductive aluminum is going to sound great, neither the Equinox nor Deus nor any other machine using VLF induction balance technology is going to reliably keep you from digging these targets, regardless of your level of experience. In other words this is a technology limitation not a detectorist experience limitation, but I would think an experienced detectorist would already know that.
Also, I was not responding solely to your post but also to the individual who was having issues with iron falsing, who did not mention use of iron bias settings, hence, my mention of F2. Yes, this has no bearing on your non-ferrous junk issue.
F2 helps, but multifrequency is not the end all and be all technology it is hyped up to be.
Regarding, Multi IQ, it is great at the beach and does well when you want to avoid having to hit a site multiple times with different frequencies. But in thick iron relic hunting. I prefer the Deus/ORX. I think these two detectors compliment each other for a wide spectrum of detecting situations. The above addresses some thoughts expressed by others in this thread.
That's all I am going to say to you on this topic other than to apologize to you and the other participants in this thread for a tone in my original post that could rightly be construed as rude. If you want to to learn about tonal nuances and target footprints feel free to use the search feature on this site to see what I and others have posted about Equinox, previously. Not inclined to go through the effort to spoon feed it to someone who is going to assail me with multiple passive aggressive sarcastic insults like in the first post and telling me to whatever off pretty much seals the deal. I am pretty secure that my documented rep (ratio of likes to postings) means people do value my advice but I know that not everyone is going to see eye-to-eye with what I have to say and that is fine.
Anyway, good luck, happy hunting, and I hope you work out your issues with the Equinox and with those on the forum who have a different opinion or viewpoint than yours as that seems to really get under your skin, since I have not been the only target of your ire in this thread.

One thing to consider is alot of the parks here in Mi which the pop top is our State flower if you dug every signal you wouldnt move more than 10 ft per day and would need a dumpster to haul all of them away thats a fact.
