Are you kidding me congratulations!!! Did it ring up in the 20-22? I’ve already found 2 gold rings. Small one at 12 large one at a solid 20.

I hope you made out well today!
I'll try to contribute but I'm new to minelab, so take the following with a grain of salt. I've hunted an hour or two everyday since I received my EQX in February. When I get near lots of iron (cellar hole lip etc) I use park 2, 3 response (600), 1 iron bias. Usually around 19 sens. Away from iron I switch to park 1, sometimes I go to 2 response but mostly stay on 3 because I swing faster than I should (I've have thousands of hours on the T2 previous to the nox)...oh, and I haven't ever gone over 20 sens...it doesn't seem to need it.
I'm interested in your opinion with the nox coming from the F75.
PS Now that I re-read your post it hit me you're looking for relic settings...lol...sorry! My settings are trying to find coins amongst the iron. I have nothing to offer if you're trying to find iron relics.

Lol see you would have me finding coin all day. I have a coin shooting program I’m comfortable with I’m just wanna get another opinion smaller relics settings. The ones I might pass up coin shooting and I’ve had luck with gold only because they fell in those numbers, but I’ll take luck any day.
I’ve sold my AT Max and F75 tired of the large coil, chatter and gambling on iffy signal too much and losing. I am a gambler but if I can better the odds I’m all in. I feel the 800 smacks deeper targets better on sound and on the vdi it registers the target number more frequently then the max or f75. But that just my ground and soil maybe. I’ve put a lot of hours on mine and still have a lot to learn on this beast. Unfortunately here there’s a lot of places with all the flooding that happens here where I gotta go deep and everybody what to do deep, but remember you also gotta dig deep and a lot it wears you out especially in this Louisiana clay. So that being said I like the 800 compared to the two.
I’m still having to learn how to trust it and not dig a totally iffy signal because I’m in such a habit of going for it with the other two. I pride myself on digging my butt off to get something good, but this is going to be a very hot humid summer down here and heat stroke is real. Lol

Good luck and dig it all.
Too hot down here I’d literally die lol trust me I dig a lot and the old stuff is usually deep. This summer I got to work a little wiser.

I learn something on here everyday but due to where different people live and soil conditions I try and glean what I can. I know even where I live my detector acts a little different in the sandy soil than in the clay and topsoil.
I rarely copy the settings from someone else. I more look at recovery and sensitivity. Depending on what I am looking for I change the discrimination to suit and for me I like Park 1 & 2 and also like Field 1 but don't much care for the 2 tones in field 1 but it does find the deep non ferrous loud and clear
