I'm ready to pull the trigger on a new detector after selling my ancient Minelab Explorer XS. Trying to decide between the Makro Anfibio Multi and the Nox 800. Same price, both waterproof (which I need), and I've been hearing good things about both. I need an all-around detector for parks, creeks, abandoned homesteads, the beach, and anything else that looks interesting. Help me decide.
Both are great deteectors.
Both easy to set up to run.
Anfibio weighs more than Nox.
Anfibio has more coil selection.
Equinox handles higher mineral ground better.
Audio on both is nice.
Both have adjustable backlights.
Heavier iron Anfibio a better choice.
Emi handling advantage goes to Nox.
Warranty period advantage Nox.
Wireless headphones on both I rate a tie.
Both are updatable.
Anfibio has wider ID reporting scale.
Both have built in rechargeable batteries in detector as well as wireless headphones.
Build quality Anfibio by a mile.
Both save settings.
Anfibio has true all metal vs Nox-doesn’t.
Additional coils cheaper for Anfibio vs Nox.
Anfibio balances better with stock coil. Although like .i said Nox is lighter overall.
In an old house site, which one would I give advantage? Neither.
In the hands of skilled/experienced with each detector both can find the goods.
