software upgrade seems to work well for me. Although for some reason I seem to be reading old rusty nails/screws in the 30-32 range for Park 1? Anybody else seeing this?
I have weird VDI numbers most days. Then some days it reads correctly so I’m at a loss as what to tell you! Copper pennies seem to be the biggest challenge ranging from 22-30.
That was my biggest hang up with that machine,digging pennies.Couldnt tell them apart from Adam,and I was digging 6 to 7 inch pennies in places I didn’t want to dig a bunch of plugs,manicured lawns are hard to hide plugs somtimes...Its a good machine,but imo the visual ID needs tweaked.
Zinc pennies range from 18-22. Coppers from 22-30. Dimes 25-27. Quarters 29-32 Not sure what you guys are getting? I just did a factory reset. Found a dime and a penny in the front yard I missed with the AT pro. Around 7”.
Dont want to make this into a Nox issues thread..........Maybe thats aleady happened. LOL
I got a new 6" coil, I tried it out then put the stock coil back on for this new site I found.
When I pinpoint the volume is very weak, then the volume jumps up after waiting a few seconds. This happened all weekend on every target I pinpointed. Yes I did a factory reset and I have the newest update. I had charged up the nox and the headphones friday.
I dont know if this is because the 6" coil did something to the machine or if its coincidence.
Just finished a hunt with my firmware updated Nox 600, at a new super trashy spot= default Park 1, except for sens. at 15, 5 tones, ground is thawing out and is super damp. Nickels solid at 11(rarely), 12, 13, corroding zinc pennies were reading from 18 to 25 depending on depth and orientation, copper pennies including 2 wheats 25-28, clad dimes 25-28, quarters 28 to 32. Most coins were 2" to 6". The only odd readings were the zincs. Like I said, the ground is soaked and the halos around the zincs (which are nasty enough when the ground is not super saturated) seemed to be almost amplified as in: I would recover a zinc penny and my handheld pinpointer could still pick up the penny's halo like another penny was still in the hole which there wasn't.
As for iron, I constantly use the horseshoe button to check for iron when it is really wet or if I get a good repeatable signal in one direction and a crappy or no signal at 90 degrees. I have tested this a lot. If I get a thin, whining high tone (30 to 39) move 90 degrees and get minus number iron nearby and a medium to shallow depth target (down to 8" or so) it is usually an iron target. I have dug a couple of really nasty clad quarters near iron at that depth. After running into this scenario too often to count and digging rusty iron I think it is the simultaneous multi frequencies hitting on the different qualities of iron included in the rusted and not yet rusted internal parts of the iron target. I think it is called iron wrap around and some people call it iron high tone falsing. I not sure I would call it falsing in the case of the multi freq. Nox. I use an audible threshold tone in every mode to check for minus number nulling (iron mostly). When I hear threshold nulling associated with any target ID or tone that mimics a non-ferrous target I always get negative numbers and low tone grunts on those targets when I engage the horseshoe button and over roughly 90% or the time they are iron when recovered.

If you want to id coins easy use the At pro.
I confirmed again yesterday, Nox 600 with updated software, park 1. I had several high tones 28-32 and dug up a large rusty nails. Once on the surface there is no reading.
about 43 degrees ground somewhat damp.
yes, and it does. Minelab customer service is telling me to uninstall and re install the software. Trying to figure that out
