Nexus Coil Design

[Unregistered]

First, I would like to state that the Nexus machines does what Georgie says it does. It is very deep and discriminates perfectly.

I bought the third one of the Nexus machines. George had the first obviously, GaryUK had the second and mine was next. When I bought it George explained that the machines were under constant development and as the machines got better and the models evolved he would keep my one up to date free of charge. This was to be his way of thanking me for showing some faith in his machine and parting with a large sum of money.

A couple of months ago I notice on the Nexus web-site that the machine had now changed cosmetically and according to George's web-site, also the performance had improved. I contacted George and asked him about the improvements and the promised upgrades.

According to him, the improvements mentioned on his web-site are not improvements. My machine is more powerful and more sensitive. Apparently the original stem (two bits of wood 32mmx32mm) are much better than the composite stems that hw now offers and the coils he is now making are nowhere near as good as the one that is on mine.

In short, he doesn't consider that the Nexus machines have been upgraded so mine can stay as it is. I may take a picture in a bit and post it up along with a link to his website. You can decide what the better looking machine is.

I can't see why someone would advertise that his product has been improved and then tell an existing client that the current product is worse than the original. Why go backwards with performance? Either way, George has proved himself a liar. Either the machines have been upgraded and he is renaging on his promise or he is lying on is web-site and the machines truly are not as good now.

One thing is certain. If the older machines are better than the new ones I certainly wouldn't buy a new one. The control box on mine fell apart within six months and since then has got gaffa tape holding it together and the wires within the battery box have all had to be either re-soldered or replaced because the connections kept breaking. Finally, none of the labelling on the control box was water-proof. The first time it got even slightly wet it all ran.

The overall build quality on machine No.3 was crap. George reckons the older ones are better? God know what the build quality on the new ones is like then!

Hi,
Can you trace and post the chematic of your detector,so we all can get familiar with it?
Thanks

Hi Unregistered Person,

Sounds like the usual sort of problems you get by being an early adopter.

In Georgi's defence there have been only cosmetic changes to the new machines, and an upgraded meter circuit. The Coronado is a less expensive version without a meter and does not detect as deep as the Standard SE. I suspect your own machine looks more like the Standard SE, and I would expect it's performance to be the same. No doubt the build quality is better on the newer detectors, but that's progress. You'll have to ask Georgi about your personal agreement on a free upgrade, but I've forwarded your comments for his perusal.

Hope you come to satisfactory resolution.

You probably just got a metal detector out of warrantee and because the manufacturer doesn't wish to fix it out of warrantee you're trying to gain enemies for this brand. That's really childish, grow up, nothing can last forever, mate. I would guess you're one of those overly demanding people who would never be satisfied with anything.

In Defence of Georgi and the Nexus

Although a "competitor" to Georgi I have to state that what you say surprises me, and I would say this, at least he got off his backside and made a go of what he had created.

How many others out there (myself included) talk the talk, but fail to walk the walk?? Give the guy some credit for that!!

If you tried running a business and I suspect VERY much that you don't already do so, no matter HOW good your intentions are, eventually you will p*ss someone off because you find yourself too busy to do what you promised, when you first set out and were desperate for sales. As the business grows, and I believe Georgi is VERY busy as the Nexus is a great success, then you find less time to do the things you want, or would LIKE to do. That said, maybe a a second person in customer support would be in order.. Just a suggestion NOT a criticism.

Yes I’ve has spats with Georgi, but I will defend his record and invention as I now know the large amount of seriously hard work that goes into creating and bringing a new product to market. Perhaps a little more field testing prior to release would have been prudent, but in the heat of the moment, and with bills to pay, it’s not always that black and white.

Rather than coming on here and calling the guy a liar, how about giving Georgi the chance to answer in public first?

BTW, I have found that wooden lower stems ARE superior to composite ones as they flex less, BUT they take longer to make and thus are not cost effective in a production environment (unless you have £100,000 pantograph or CNC lathes to make 100’s of copies at a time). And finally, after those sort of comments, I certainly wouldn’t be too quick to perform ANY sort of upgrade on your machine, short of binning it!

BTW, note I use my REAL name, I''m not afraid to be brought to account by anything I've said if I'm proved to be in the wrong.

2 down, one to go.

That's really childish, grow up, nothing can last forever, mate. I would guess you're one of those overly demanding people who would never be satisfied with anything.

I refer you to the very first line of my original post.
The machine didn't come with a written warrantee. George wasn't that far along with the marketing at that time. Like I said, it was the third machine that George produced and the proposed future upgrades were a gentlemans agreement, sealed with a handshake. I was prepared to do this as George was spoken very highly of By GaryUK and I trust GaryUK implicitly. A handshake is good enough for me, it shows a mans worth. Also, please bear in mind that the machine I have does not have a problem with it with relation to performance. It is in perfect working order and does everything that Georgie claims that his machines do. It is a very deep machine and has very good discrimination. The discrimination is only fooled by mis-shapen iron.

Hi Unregistered Person,

A reasonable voice! At last! If you take a look at Georgies website he states that there are improvements to both the coil and the discrimination capabilities. George promised, on a handshake, that he would upgrade the machine when he went into proper production. This is what he has renaged on. I asked Georgie about the upgrade a couple of months ago, he said no. I then phoned GaryUK who then spoke to George. Gary called me back and he was quite astonished at Georgies reply. Georgie was still refusing to follow through with his promise.

Hi,
Can you trace and post the chematic of your detector,so we all can get familiar with it?
Thanks

No
When I bought the machine I promised George that I wouldn't show the working to anyone. I have not done so, neither will I do so. That is why GaryUK was so annoyed when Mr Godard put on his website that he had seen the circuit. There were only three machines in existance at that stage, Georges, Gary's and mine. He knew that he and George hadn't shown Mr Godard, so that left me. Mr Godard hadn't seen the inside of my machine then and he still hasn't today. Neither will you.

unlucky

This guy that I know who is loose with his money, bought a Nexus on Ebay just a few weeks old. On his third trip out with it he decided to call into a large shopping center at Bluewater in Kent. He wanted to pick up a copy of Treasure Hunting magazine to see if there was any advice on how to use the Nexus has he was not having much luck with it. He also wanted to get a bottle of horse oil for his wife’s thighs ( she plays women’s rugby at the weekends). Anyway the stupid fool left the Nexus on the back seat of his car. You can almost guess what happened next. When he returned to his car with the magazine and the horse oil, he could see some broken glass on the floor. Has he got closer to his car his worst fears were to come true. He looked through the broken window to discover that some RAT or SCUMBAG had broken his rear window and put another Nexus on the back seat. Now he is stuck with two.

[Richard Lincoln (Sheddy)]

Georgie will go ape **** when he reads this

How can he? I'm not doing anything other than telling the truth. He had his chance to stick to his word and perform the upgrades, he chose not to. I think that it is only right that if anyone out there is thinking about parting with a considerable amount of cash for one of Georgies machines, they at least should be aware of the type of person they are dealing with.

[koko]

ok

ok!
Why you are play with us then!?
Everyone wanna look inside NEXUS.
What its secret or what?
George tell us that his secret is in coil.And post here a schematic that acording to his words is the same only with some different values for some parts!
So we get again to point that even he is lier or....................????
Please trace and post schematic here,so we all can see and learn from leading in performance machine???

Hi Richard,

I don't know what your personal agreement with Georgi was way back in August 2004, and that is a matter between the two of you. At the time a simple handshake may seem appropriate but it often pays to get things in writing. I'm sure we've all been there before...

Actually I don't think there have been any major changes to the coil, except maybe in the method of assembly. The discrimination improvements refer to the new meter circuit. I bet you would be hard pushed to find any difference in either depth or discrimination between your own machine and a Standard SE.
