[QUOTE="Lesgold, post: 456226, member: 9840"] Hi Caconym. Spent a lot of time this last winter testing the NOX on gold and found quite a few pieces with it. It was ok. (Notice the lower case ok) Had a mate using the monster on the same ground and it was ok. I found that the NOX handled the ground that we were working far better than the monster. It was noisy and didnt like the mineralised soil. I have no experience with the monster and all I can comment on is observations that I made. No matter what settings my mate tried, he couldnt get it as quiet as the NOX. He did find some small pieces of gold with it but they were small. I wont mention the other machine that were were testing against as you said you didnt want to hear about that detector. Working the creeks and panning is as much fun as detecting for a lot of people. I enjoy a day on the creeks as much as any day on the electric stick. If you are lucky, you may find the odd bit with a cheap detector but there will be many days where you will come home empty handed (bullets and scrap metal dont count) Panning will at least provide you with a take home almost every outing. I own a NOX and have access to a monster if I need it. If given a choice between using a NOX, a monster or a pan for a day out, I would take the pan every time without even thinking about it. But thats just me in my local area. Im sure that there would be heaps of people who would disagree but thats OK. Cheers Les [/QUOTE]
