Weather cleared up this afternoon so I took the Nox out for a spin. I went to the local park and hit the volley ball court and basket ball court area. Put in a couple of hours and here are my thoughts.
1) Not as nose heavy as I first thought. Not as light as my ATP with the 5X8, but not bad at all.
2) LONG learning curve. I basically just ran park 1 because of the 5 tone vs park 2. Figuring out what is under the coil against the signal and DVI will take some time.
3) Deep... Very Deep. I had to tune it way down on the volley ball court because it was picking up trash that was under the sand, in the dirt. They have a black liner at the bottom and the sand is a good foot deep. I hit it twice then tuned it down to 15.
4) Separation is what everyone says. Ran it by one of the tables and the pull tabs went off like a machine gun. I don't even run over there with my ATP but I bet I could pick out a quarter if I tried hard enough.
5) I don't like the handle. Soft hands I guess, but I liked the cushion on the ATP.
The dig was what I expected. Lots of trash. Lots of pennies because the regulars cherry pick and don't pull out pennies. A couple of interesting bits including an ear ring that has a makers mark but no K mark. Tested 10K and failed. Oh well. It is pretty. I found a wheat penny in a coin spill. Right on top so very new.
