Hi Gary. I am here in the state of Utah. I don't have any questions. I just got an Orx with the 9" H.F. coil. I am finding coins and relics every place I have pounded to death with all my other machines. A few days ago I dug a 1904 nickel in coin deep at 14". That was 3" deeper than any coin I have found. Love your videos, they are very informative and very helpful to us who are just learning the XP machines.
I’m a firm believer in having a good iron relics machine. I have an ORX coming in an was hoping that I wouldn’t be disappointed. Thanks for the insight!
Gary, I dig every signal that I hear! As you say, you never know just what that iron target is going to be! I tend to find a lot of US Civil War cannon shell frags, stirrups, old padlocks, gun parts, gun tools, and I even found a small-caliber pistol. I love digging with folks that refuse to dig the iron! All the more goodies for me. I also like to clean up the environment so recycle all the trash finds so I don't dig them up a second time! All finds are good for me! ;-)
Another great and very informative video, Gary. My best iron find is an iron shoe buckle from the 1600's. That's almost as old as it gets over here in the colonies for iron relics.
Fantastic ORX video....been using the ORX in Arizona for about three weeks. Like you, I leave the iron on, but learned a couple tips which will help on the next expedition. Thanks for the info Gary..!
The majority of people liken detecting to bingo and put too much faith in the screen numbers. The ground matrix or an iron target next to a good target can alter the numbers and sound dramatically. That’s why it doesn’t take much effort to remove a little bit of soil and then re-scan a target. Like you said complacency about iron targets is definitely leaving a lot or good targets in the ground, whether they be ancient iron artefacts or good targets masked by iron. Thanks for sharing your knowledge as always!
Excellent video Gary .. I've never used the gold program on my ORX but will now give it a go using your settings .. can't thank you enough for these skill school videos with all the tips and tweaks 😊👍 .. all I can say is "keep them coming" 😀 lol .. best wishes and HH Tina
some orx users dont like gold program because there is interesting sound. but its my favorite and its best way to hear finds with my ears :) i cannot understand what is doing disc iar, it discrminates iron???
I love the ORX it’s a beast and it’s so light. Especially with the HF Elliptical Coil it’s an amazing bit of kit. Great videos Gary. I’m in Yorkshire and it’s full of History. Not as much as the Home Counties but we have lots of fields. Stay safe 😀
I found the cast iron front of an old wood stove made in the 1800's. It was where a railroad station once was. The line ran from Las Vegas to a town named Rhyolite. When gold mining faded into history, so did the railroad that serviced the area. I was hoping to find the boardwalk where trains were boarded. No luck. A highway replaced the railroad and underground cables were put in for internet. I hope to go back to have another look. The trains stopped running in the 1920's and sat dormant until the rails were needed and removed for WWII. Nothing there to see, but you can still see the roads that went there on Google Earth, (desert area). Human history is quite young here compared to Europe, so we take what we can get. A coin from the 1800's is a thrill.
On the beach, I use the gold program and often go with a "0" ground balance. This ground balance cuts off mineral stones with an iron double tone on our beaches. Many people have a negative attitude towards "0" ground balance, considering it to be wrong. But air tests have shown that at "0" ground balance, the depth of gold detection is not lost. "0" ground balance can be used on wet sand. This ground balance is not suitable for walking on water or in sea water.
Great video. You mentioned here about your prior video utilizing the Gold Program on the wet beach. So I will look for that video. I live in Southeast Florida and hunt the beaches here but I never use my XP Deus near the water because the "Wet Sand" program is too chatty. I will take your advice and try the gold program on my next beach hunt. Thanks for the informative videos. I have owned many detectors but the Deus is my favorite machine. HH
I think that it is a good idea to film some XP accessories for the XP Deus and ORX detectors. There are plenty of them, but sometimes you have no idea how helpful such accessories could be!
Great video Gary. Being new to the ORX, I never thought of using the Gold mode out in the field. I am going to give it a try , and see how it goes. Thanks again.
awesome video thanks for sharing, i currently run a nox 600 but its away to be mended...i may sell it if i get a new nox back under warranty...and go for this xp orx....fantastic gold mode, lightweight...and no wires to be seen....great
Just came into XP family with ORX its a great machine here in my hot soil in the States. Wish it had one thing iron volume control to turn down the iron sound..
Hi Gary, thanks for sharing these settings with us. I've been experimenting with them today, honestly great results on a highly iron polluted field. I used the XP Deus with the Gold Field program and the same settings as yours. I was able to use the DEUS at 96 sensibility, it's very difficult to find a clean spot to do the ground balance, so I used 88 by default (not sure it's right). The iron identification is not so easy, but I switched to XY graph display to help ;) I'll post a video showing how it goes with the DEUS. Cheers ! (configuration was XP DEUS, X35 28cm at 17khz)
Great video,was lovely to meet you at detectival, I was the guy who won the orx,thanks for the headphones and selfie, will you be doing any videos of the orx on wet sand as I'm a beach detector mainly,can you recommend the best setting for sand dry and wet thank you mate
Hello Gary, I "translated" your GOLD program settings for the DEUS and I made a comparaison with your SONAR program on the field. You can check if you want my channel, the episode 17 is all about that ;) Of course I linked back to your channel. Cheers !
thanks enjoy the videos the deus is my favorite machine I do dig all the iron as I'm more of a relic hunter than a coin guy found a lot of old hand forged tools and things using the tones if there good and strong and clear I'll dig it thanks
Great helpful videos..my new ORX has been wrapped up till xmas!! So by watching these videos I'm getting a good heads up.A field not far from me has what i describe as voluntary rape,I've been over and over it with my fisher f44,cant wait to see if or what I've missed when the ORX is unveiled.I bought the11" x35 coil, so with that could you recommend to me which program i should use baring in mind I'm on a mission.This field has produced artefacts(roman/saxon)and couple of hammereds.Thanks,and thanks for taking the time to film your tutorials👍Andy
Hi Gary, Very nice Video! Could you make a video where you explain how to setup the machine to search for small gold nuggets and tiny bits of gold? Thanks, best regards from Italy
Hi Gary! I have the following doubt. For what reason in the discrimination parameter there are values such as 7.0, these rise and fall from 5 in 5 and after passing the number 10 already advances 1 in 1, and I can reach 70 for example. What objects are discriminating on those values? Thank you very much
Hi Nivel The lower iron range can require a finer discrimination. Some people may only want to locate specific highly conductive targets, so they will reject everything below 60 for example.
Any chance there is list of your custom programs? I have been looking, but only seem to find video's. I don't mind watching at all, i just won't be able to remember them while out detecting. Would like to print out, so i can choose, and change on the fly.
I am loving your explaination of the ORX! What im wondering is the manual has much more settings in the system than my ORX? where can i find the updates that im looking for to update to today? Cheers
@@The-skillschool yea thats what im hearing and yet wonder where some features in the manual are on the ORX? like Discrimination? thought i had a old version.
@@The-skillschool any plans on them? its funny to make them and state them as ready for update. Also the forum is only DEUS, i would love to connect with more ORX material, so far you are the man for that< Rapekt
@@emergeseek9969 of the 4 programs we have on our orx’s the 2 coin programs have discrimination. On the 2 gold programs it’s IAR ( iron amplitude regection) there is no updates yet for the orx but sign up for the newsletter on the xp website so that one becomes available you’ll get the email.
Yes the front panels are available separately, they come with the screen and buttons. I think you need to contact your reseller to get one supplied and fitted.
Hi Gary I've got the xp orx see when I use the coin fast or coin deep there's time the ground balance is at the max and the numbers are good on the remote and nice tone what does that mean with the ground balance reading is at the max cheers great videos 👌
How to adjust the device without loss of depth if the ground balance is determined by 64 but there are many phantoms during operation ??? At a higher ground balance, the device does not see deep for some targets. When you turn on the "salt" mode, the device stops phantom, but the scanning depth decreases again ???
Hey gary, Master of Settings 👁👄👁 Can u tell me, can i find in Gold Mode everything like in Coin Mode, or u just walk over and some finds stay in ground? From Germany here.
Hi buddy, thanks for your question. Gold mode uses a different discrimination platform compared to coin mode. I think you need to work much slower and gave a good ear for Gold mode. It can also be deeper on big targets. 👍
Hi Gary I am just getting in to detecting been using a Whites idx Pro on my local beach coins are no problem for it and fou nd my first silver ring yesterday. I am wanting to use a detector that offers more info on what to dig. Now here is where you can help me if I go for the ORX can I at a later date buy a deus remote and use it or is it total different or am I better of with the deus lite to start. I like the XY screen on the deus from what I have seen on your videos. What do I do where do I start. Thanks if you can shine a little light on this for me
Hi mate If you buy an ORX and a Deus RC at a later date, you can use it with the stem and coil. The ORX headphones will not work with a Deus. The ORX RC will not work with Deus headphones. Hope that helps.
Hello would you recommend using the gold program on fields witj the X35 28cm coil as it only goes up to 25 kHz? Or is it better to stick to coin fast running on 17,7 kHz
@@The-skillschool I want to get it sand blasted it's got a large foot shape on the bottom a squarish piec and then a top that's got a groo Ed tu ular shape hard to describe thks I kept it as a few yards away was a tenth Legion denari
Hi Jerrett If you think about it, a detector is designed to find metal, discrimination is mainly based in conductivity...., so many non ferrous targets fall within the same conductivity range, it's not a good idea to reject them. Most people reject Iron only.
My impression is that its too noisy and also it cant detect below water as it doesnt reach the antena. I lost my pres ription glasses in the beach it was as high as my knee high but no signal with orx at that level
Please could you tell me the best settings and or equipment combination for large (more than 0,5 kilos gold) at around half to one meter depth in calcium rock???
The vlf detector have their "own physical laws" and limitations. A tiny flake of gold like a sand grain can be found at 5cm, a matches head sized nugget can be detected at a depth of 10cm. The maximum depth detection of bigger nugget maybe 50cm. This for similar detector like the superb Makro Gold Kruzer, although the xp oxr is little superior.
I purchased the XP ORX basically to find my diamond ring that I lost, either in the woods with a few brush piles, or it was lost in a field. Since I’m looking for this specific item, what setting should I keep the machine on? When switching from gold to coin, the tones and numbers are so different I feel like I could easily be missing the correct target sound. Should I look at the numbers on the screen, or just listen to the tone? Any advise would be greatly appreciated
Hi Garry... I have a question for you.... Which is the deepest program in your opinion for medium/large targets between gold 1 and coin deep... From these two which works better??
@@The-skillschool yeah I work on gold modes and are really impressive with the orx(I think better than deus Goldfield).... Sens at 90 4khz reactivity 1 and coil about 10cm above the ground.... And something else.... That we called filtering what exactly is it? Are the settings we do or it is something else behind from our settings
Hi Garry please help....I had my detector in the setting with the target ID to be sensitive to gold, but not it shows iron sensitivity which I do not know how it happened. I want to change the target ID back to Gold Sensitivity but I haven been able to do so......Please Help!!! Thanks
@@The-skillschool So basically.....when I used my detector it used to show me on the screen -Target ID "Gold Sensitivity" with the objects probability of being gold. Now, it just shows Iron sensitivity on the target ID.....
@@scotto5548 you will have Hot Rock, it's a lot heavier and rejected using the ground balance, Coke (coal) is rejected by the discrimination circuit target ID is 26-27.
hello mate after some advice.ive been using your sonar and evo and even gold program on my new deus and 9inch hf coil.and running the coil at 35htzs is totaly usless on ploughed fields.all im digging is targets at 3 inches,i have gold on my field and this machine isnt picking that up even on your gold program the gold is around 6 inches deep.ive even tried to put your sonar program in 35 htz and it sounds good but the depth is rubbish,im trying to find roman gold staters any ideas?? can you do a program that will find them at 6 inches deep on ploughed? as non of the 3 ive tried work.cheers.. my nox finds them no issue.
@@The-skillschool cant say ive noticed that as new to to deus but i saw it coming up top right s 77 to 80 odd if thats the bar your talking about wasnt the id numbers on the deus ive tried all 3 programs and non seem to have any depth to them or manage to find gold at 5 to 6 inches even withthe hf coil banged upto 35htz but like the nox higher the htz you loose depths
@@The-skillschool i had no more than 3 bars we tested a gold stater on all 3 of your programs at 6 inches and never picked them up so put the deus into basic deep mode and it found the coin but signal for gold come in at 90 odd which is odd for gold and the iron tones were awful on basic deep mode,we tried your gold program didnt pick up staters at 6 inches they are hide to pick up if they are on there side to i had high hopes for this deus with hf coil and now rather disapointed if im honest my nox has no issues but the tones on gold on nox are scetchy and not great
