Sorry they cost you the DF buddy... The good is you did not have to go thru all the grief of owning the AQ.What a piece of junk it is...
And If it makes you feel any better, CB told me ...
I guess I'm double lucky......

I should also add a Nox in my area hates those hidden cellphone antenna's they hide in buildings along the beach. Be interesting to see what a Deus2 does. A CTX you can tune it out. A Nox in my area you say are running a 24 sensitivity. You crank it down to 14 to deal with and and your depth is gone. I can not tune them out. 8G maybe?
I know you are from CT... I do the registrations here.. I ban the scammers and spammers that try to get in and the occasional troll...
We will have to talk about sharing spots... I have done a lot of research to find what I find
My spots are not for the weak... I don't dig in sand... you can ask SurfMaster about our rocks and as he calls it stink mud... don't be bringing a nice scoop unless you want it to look like it was run over by a M1 Abrams
You don't want a lime green Excal... they are only worth about $400
Also got a couple blue 10" and a blue 8". Always thinking about a back up 8" since it works better for me IN the water. Especially in our waves. Luckily i have a few replacement thick coils. I did tell my friends when i got one of the first Nox's that came out, get ready for a lot of competition on the beach. Not because it was better, but because it was a lot cheaper and lighter. And look where we are now. I can go to Daytona and see 15 Nox's and only one or two Excal's and maybe 3 CTX's.
Me and someone else also use DFX's with bigfoot coils to compliment the others. I was fixing to order some Whites Maxxpacks batteries and found i can't find them anymore. And the AA battery holders went from $5 to $40. Fixing to have to build my own batteries. Sad Whites bit the dust. If it wasn't for them i would not likely be in detecting. Started with Garrett and my personal experience with them still chaps my backside.Most beach salt hunters have several machines , proven to do the job , most are not looking for yet another Vlf , most are multi frequency--- now used , in my case I am. Looking for a PI , I have none now , needed for relentless- on going beach replenishment depth penitration , which no vlf will cut the .mustard, The Deus 2 might be yet another proven vlf Beach machine down the road however , plenty out there , but depth wise 4 what I want , no vlf can beat the depth , or black sand capabilities of a pi in salt , so Bring me out A new pi around that price , the market is wide open , hope all manufacturers are tuning in , since the AQ failed , Whites gone , let's go ML , I will be waiting on a plane jumper with the new ML PI great on gold , they have the technology, & the best gold machines in the world , it's time for a PI gold slayer mega depth machine to arrive under 2k , waterproof to 200ft not 3 meters , no screen needed , beach wet., water , BEAST , I will dig 2 foot holes again 4 rewards of gold , I look back now at all the vlf multi frequency machines over the past 5 years , just yet another vlf multi with minor improvements, or features with depth that can't complete with a PI
Already have a lime green 10". It is a backup in case all my blues went down.
Did buy a blue in a pawn shop for $80 once. Use it for repair parts for the other blues. Bought the 8" from a friend of yours with OBN mods. Think he has regretted selling it ever since? I do not know why when something new is coming out, some think what you are using becomes junk? I buy others junk
But using a Nox since they first came out i don't feel i have an advantage even though i use it all the time. Not that my CTX doesn't spank it's butt. But because the CTX gets heavy as heck. I know when i started using a Nox my gold chain finds died. Maybe coincidence? Maybe not ? Just my gold chain finds paid off my CTX more than once
