2nd time out

[Scorpius]

2nd time out. Used park 1 setting. Didn’t dig too much trash. Dumped what I did nearby in the can. Went to the playground of a local elementary school.
$2.06 at this rate I’m making about .75 per hour lol.

Had fun with my older son and got practice in for the beach in few more weeks.
So what I learned today. Or think I learned.

Short really solid tones over my sweep seemed to indicate a worthy dig more often than not.

Small pinpoints likely a coin, long could be on its side at an angle. But still small

Longer chirpy tones or lots of multiple beeps appear to indicate aluminum gun wrappers etc

If I recall correcty

Pennies around 11-13 sometimes a 9/10

Nickels around 17/18

Quarters seemed to hit anywhere 28-30

Found a bullet case, too bad I don’t reload .40 cal. Recycle bin.

Little fake ring. Sigh

Cut heart zipper maybe my daughter can make something with it.

Going to old historical mill park tomorrow :-)


Oh and modern coins don’t hold up too well I see.

Sounds about right. We will always dig more junk than good if we're doing it right. Gold hides.

Awesome!

Remember that sometimes it can be too dry to dig, especially in a lawn area, and you will leave awful marks in the grass.

Forrest’s and beaches and wood chip zones are always a good option on hot dry days.

Not making a massacre out of the grass can sometimes be overlooked by new treasure hunters!

I just received my Nox 600 last Thursday and went on a few hunts so far. My first time out was at at permission I know is chuck full of nails (really really bad) so it was kind of frustrating with a new machine. I only worth while targets I got were a couple wheaties and a insurance tag from 1897 I posted Friday afternoon in “ what is it”. I sat and read up on settings etc until I fell a sleep Friday night. Anyway, Saturday morning, I went to a school close to my house that I know I just about cleaned out or so I thought. In an area I search heavily because I found a 1893 IHP, the Nox was able to sniff out about 8-10 more clad coins my AT max and pro missed. I’m pretty impressed with the Nox so far, I’m looking forward how it does at the beach and at a war of 1812 permission I have in Vermont, the stuff is deep and the area is super rocky. Anyway, very happy with the machine so far and Keith from fort Bedford metal detecting gave me a great deal.

Nice variety of finds. Congrats. Not bad for only your second time out.
