Just found your channel... great video! Brilliant idea with The Dark Destroyer! Garrett APEX performed awesome for the price range... keep the great videos coming!
Great video Arron one nil to the Nox a comparison chart would be a good idea and a quick reference to the level playing field test you carry out well done mate 👍👊🎧👊
Just watched your video I see the detectors have the stock coils on them when tested,But the apex coil is a lot smaller than the equinox I don't think it's a true comparison do the same test with the new Garrett Raider coil it might make a difference on the test ? I'm not saying it will but who knows I do like your new dirt box and retire my dirt box and make one just like yours which is lot better designed with the Centre Point in the middle of the box keep the videos coming all the best
For all the flak and shrapnel thrown your way about the dirt box... These videos are extremely helpful. Would you say you fill the box with sand or dirt from the fields???
2 years later there are 2 updates on the machine! now maybe better results ? and you have really a lot of coil options on the Apex …. much lighter/bigger/deeper as the equinox ….. i have all 6 coils minelab/coiltek on my equinox and i have 9 coils for my two Apex…. you should test it with a Garrett/Raider or Cors/Butterfly on the apex and the 11“ on the equinox…. at the end you will see ….. i do not like testing coils with different shapes…. the viper has a slim shape ….and in effect ….. it will loosing depth against a similar sized coil with round shape !!! but better separation ….. 🎉 this is why the viper comes out……
I've just got hold of an Apex, hoping to take it out this week. Interesting video but never been a fan of air tests. Theres only one true way to compare machines and this is out in the field with real targets in real conditions
LOL. It never even occurred to me until you said "dirtbox is more amusing"........then I couldn't stop laughing. And then I watched you giving it to the dirtbox over and over in all the holes and I started laughing all over again. I'm going to recommend all the detectors come and watch you test out the dirtbox with your rod. Yes, I'm a child.
Considering this machine is less than half the price of the Nox I would say it is an amazing value for the performance. Not too many machines that can hit a coin at a foot let alone ones that aren't meant to compete with a $1000 detector. Also if you are carrying an AT Max or Pro over this then it had better be for the waterproofing because the Apex kills the other 2 in depth and features. I swung an AT Pro and loved it but lets be honest it is old tech and doesn't keep up with stock coils. So unless you want to carry around a giant boat anchor of a coil on the end of your AT series the Apex is the winner here. If there is an AT version of the Apex coming then that will be a game changer I am sure.
Another great vid 👍👍👍however results of finds under various scenarios is the real test. For example an F1 racing car does 200mph a Dacia Stepway doesn’t. But the Dacia beats the F1 over rough ground.
I love your dark destroyer videos. But it seems it has become customary to mention the Nox range, I hope everyone remembers there is a significant price difference between all these detectors. The Apex sells for about £425, while the Nox 600 is £675 and the Nox 800 is £899. I would say £0-500 is the entry level machines. £501-£1000 tends to have the intermediate level machines. I would love to see a comparison screen at the end of your dark destroyer videos stating depths and price points. Or maybe you could go Top Gear style and create a physical board with this information on it, you can refer to it and remind us qbout your previous tests. :) Hope you dont construe this as an angry demand as I will carry on watching your videos regardless.
That’s really good idea bud that dirt box I am new to this I bought the apx dirt box would help understand unit specially ms setting for beach looks good leaving in Torbay ,beach where it be used most we subscribe to channel thanks again 👍🇬🇧🚒
Hey Arron mate. 👋🏻😃 Very interesting results there buddy. I’m not sure what I expected to see but a valid test none the less. Just you be careful poking sticks in to your dirt box!! 🤣😂 Thanks for sharing, take care, GL&HH. 🇬🇧 Deano. 😃🤣
@@SouthCoastDetecting brilliant 🤩 my apex came this week so looking forward to getting out. With permissions hard to come by I wanted something for both land and sand and watching your videos it’s given me confidence that it will be fine
Interesting test there Aaron, just a couple of thoughts, could you put up a chart at the end of the vids with results of each machine, maybe like a league table and also maybe a run on a sand box for comparison. Would be interesting to see what happens sand to soil. 👍
If I put up a league table it gives away the results for those who may not have seen the other videos.... people might not be watching these in order and it would ruin the surprise so to speak. But yes I’ll sort one out for the next test vid.
Bel test bravo ! Ma in ricerca vera cambia tutto ! Apex con la 5 khz mod. Zero ha 25 cm e morto DEATH !!! e l unico test che da queste prestazioni il tuo !!!! In aria sono la meta ???? Usi il cip ???
Detectors should be able to be tested with one coil, then the tests will be serious. Now the detectors are tested with a different coil each time. There are always differences
I think the shallower depth at Garett is due to the smaller spool. If it had an 11 "spool, the depth would be like a Minelab
Just found your channel... great video! Brilliant idea with The Dark Destroyer! Garrett APEX performed awesome for the price range... keep the great videos coming!
Would like to see a test with the new raider coil if you have a chance to do so.
They sure was but doesnt the nox have much bigger coil as standard?
Great video Arron one nil to the Nox a comparison chart would be a good idea and a quick reference to the level playing field test you carry out well done mate 👍👊🎧👊
Great video! I have the 8.5x11 Raider coil on my Apex. Will it perform as well at the Viper 6x11?
I just got a Apex and I was wondering if it's the New updated machine. How can I tell if it is ??
How did you get that detector to bark?
😂
It's not a boast about depth, width of coil or length, but get the impression my detector and pinpointer combo sets off dogs at up to a 1km distance!

This wouldn’t be considered an air test, his bucket is filled with dirt. Happy hunting!
Can you do vanquish 540 deep test too?

can you do the test on the vanquish 540 thanks all the best

Thanks Arron, Apex is of course quite a bit cheaper than the Nox...
What a top test arron brother that was a good test new coils out next week I believe got one on older
Exellent test. Thanks!

Just a thought. All the pipes cross in the middle leaving an area in the middle with not much earth ??
There are a couple of inches of dirt in between, as I’ve said before it’s not scientific it’s just me poking things into holes in a tub full of mud 👍
Same for all detectors tested
@@SouthCoastDetecting Could be worth creating a dirt shaft tube to fill the empty holes.
That’s really good idea bud that dirt box I am new to this I bought the apx dirt box would help understand unit specially ms setting for beach looks good leaving in Torbay ,beach where it be used most we subscribe to channel thanks again 👍🇬🇧🚒
Thank you!
Can you do the same test but with a xp deus??
Thanks. Would be nice to see if there is any loss using discrimination and how much if any. Great post.
Nice. My mum did question what i was watching though.
As an American, I couldn't really understand your final impressions of the Apex as to whether you thought it worthy or not.
I like it, I’m a fan of Garrett my first detector was an ace 250. Using this feels familiar and now the new update is out it feels even better.
I am always thinking on making a bucket like that for my test
Awesome video Arron mate quite an eye opener ...Stll did well though nice solid bleng at 12" 👌👍😀
Hey Arron mate. 👋🏻😃 Very interesting results there buddy. I’m not sure what I expected to see but a valid test none the less. Just you be careful poking sticks in to your dirt box!! 🤣😂 Thanks for sharing, take care, GL&HH. 🇬🇧 Deano. 😃🤣
Was this with the Viper coil?
Yes
Could you try the Simplex on The New Dirt Box please .Love your vids keep them coming ..
Wow yeah I was expecting a little closer match to the Nox
Hi Arron , interesting and surprising results mate ! nice one ATB Rob . 👍👍
Nice one mate surprising results indeed especially the silver ring.
0:32 It's a "tubular" dirt buxet!!
Not super great results but the grotty Roman was very impressive in your dirt box
Great video bro, sadly I won't ever afford one of these so ile stick to my ace 250 :) stay safe arron
Hi mate great review I just paid for my ace apex viper coming on Monday and I only paid £380 from new on eBay can’t wait to get out now…
Try looking on eBay mate I just paid £380 for my ace apex viper
I’ve used the ace 250 how does this compare to the apex ? Will I get more depth?
Yes it’s deeper, since it’s update this has been a fantastic detector, if you like the 250 you’ll love this.
@@SouthCoastDetecting brilliant 🤩 my apex came this week so looking forward to getting out.
With permissions hard to come by I wanted something for both land and sand and watching your videos it’s given me confidence that it will be fine
Arron were you Disappointed ? Or you thought it would perform better.
Baz.
Great vid great results
Interesting test there Aaron, just a couple of thoughts, could you put up a chart at the end of the vids with results of each machine, maybe like a league table and also maybe a run on a sand box for comparison. Would be interesting to see what happens sand to soil. 👍

Another great video 😄. So glad I spent the extra money on the Nox 800. It really is a fantastic machine 😄
Bel test bravo ! Ma in ricerca vera cambia tutto ! Apex con la 5 khz mod. Zero ha 25 cm e morto DEATH !!! e l unico test che da queste prestazioni il tuo !!!! In aria sono la meta ???? Usi il cip ???
These are great videos! Keep shoving various objects into yer dirtbox! :)
Great video buddy it’s sort of made me step back from buying the Apex now , I think I’m going to go with the mine lab CTX3030 👍
wow I was surprised I thought it be a close contest to the nox but no its don't come close. 👍👍🙄
I need a detector someone can help me
Detectors should be able to be tested with one coil, then the tests will be serious. Now the detectors are tested with a different coil each time. There are always differences
there's a big difference between a gold or silver ring thats been in the ground for 20 or 30 years and your cleaned up rings! just saying!
Please do the Vanquish 540 in the "Dark Destroryer"
You need to put a deus on that buddy
That's a funny looking violin you have but keep practicing it might sound nice one day
😂
Twice in one week you been showing off your dirt box. You gonna be getting yourself a name.🤣🤣🤣
I'm here better late than never lol
Tyson fury is our local lad
Дело не в приборе а в катушке .
😂its a Garrett what did u expect 😂😂😂😂😂😂 should test a garrett 400 etc for the giggles
Dirt box hahahaha classic
teknetics.. the best detector i tried..!
Нищо не става от него слабо производство
Can I have a sticker 😀
