If you take the control box off the orx and put it in your pocket it is like swinging a stick it's so light. (I do like the whites tones and vdi on US Coins) For the longest time I thought the Tesoro Vaquero I owned was the fastest, lightest, and deepest machine I had but I now give that title to the orx. My MX5 is also very fast recovery but not this fast. Machines I had prior are a long list, but I had the equinox and it is as fast if not faster than the Nox and the depth is nearly equal, but this is using a 9" coil in comparison to the 11" on the Nox (I personally wasn't a fan of the tones on the nox or the vdi scale but that is personal preference) I haven't dug any keepers yet below 50 (I was listening to a podcast where they talked about disc up to 50 and you can still here the iron grunts - I imagine this would be sufficient for gold jewelry and coin shooting) I marked about 20 spots in my yard last night to dig and some were around 30 on the vdi that were not giving an iron grunt but a mid tone.

Where does iron stop on the VDI scale and non ferrous begin - Yeah the manual is not real clear on this so I will have to do some testing and get back to you. Let me know if there is something you would like me to test or film. I haven't done any nail board testing but so far no issues with coins on edge in practice. The only real issue I had the first couple of days is some difficulty pairing the headphones (I have found if I turn the machine on first it prompts you for audio and if I hit x, then pair the headphones it seems to work on the 1st try)

I hesitate to give a full review after just a few hours. I dug a few bullets today that rang up in the mid 80's and a few pieces of odd aluminum/iron pieces at an old school house that hit in the 90's but that's to be expected. * I would probably dig them as they are solid 94 Pull tabs so far vary but had a few that fell in the Nickel rangeīottle Caps - I haven't hunted where there are bottle caps yet but tested a few and there is a distinct audio difference depends on orientation (similar to a Tesoro almost like you can hear the ridges of the cap)

Lincoln Cent 86-91 (Older pre 1981/82 ring higher) Indian Cent 84-86 (Dug an 1881 today with the ORX at approx 6") I haven't dug anything >6" on my hunts yet but air test are impressive.ġ/2 dime 80 (impressive solid vdi # at 6" air)

(Pretty close to what I would call a multi-tone Tesoro) I've got a couple hunts in with the ORX and so far I'm liking the simplicity of it.
