Hello everybody, and thanks for the invite Andi
I recognise a few names already.
I’m Kev from Leicester, I’ve been detecting for about 2 years now since I bought a Deus with the spare cash from selling my classic bike.
I don’t go very often, and have yet to find much worth writing about, but enjoy the peace, tranquillity and anticipation when I do go, and reading about others discoveries in this interesting hobby.
I’ve just blown all my saved petrol money on an Equinox 800 too, mainly as I think it will be better in wet sand than the Deus, which always seems a bit jittery on the beach, I swung it for the very fist time Monday, so think a bit of head scratching and hair pulling is forecast.
Kev

Hi Kev and welcome aboard. The Nox is great on the beach as well as on land, I think you'll really enjoy it. Any queries about it just ask. 
Good things come to those who wait.

Hi Kev, welcome to the forum. I'm sure you'll enjoy using your Equinox once you get used to it.

Hiya and welcome in Kev
I live 5 minutes walk from our local beaches, and 5 minutes drive from another part of the beach that is notorious for bringing up old ammunition and bombs etc
Only yesterday a Nox owner dug up a piece of live ordinance that had to be dealt with by the bomb guys
I know 3 people who all use a nox on our beaches and they are always finding some good stuff
So i think you will be happy with its performance in beach mode

All right Kev, welcome aboard..... so you’ve turned to the dark-side with the Nox..... but I can’t hold that against you mate
Always carefully proof-read what you've typed to see if you've any words out.

Thanks all, for the welcome and the comments.
Hi Bob, yes it’s a shame, but I don’t really think they had any choice really unfortunately.
Hi Andi, the dark side, yes was thinking the same myself, that's the problem with having a credit card, internet connection and being available to accept deliveries
Yes, I think I will like the Nox when I get used to it, thanks for the offers of help Easylife, I anticipate a learning curve and will no doubt have many questions along the way.
First impressions are favourable though, I really like the Deus, but on the same stretch of beach, this really is something else, I left it in beach 1 as per factory settings as there didn’t seem much point twiddling with it until I understand it a little, and I was surprised how quiet and stable it was, yet still being sensitive to very tiny grains of sunken lead and aluminium.
All very early days of course, there is a lot to learn, but I’m looking forward to trying it out on land in the next few days.
