Howdy Folks. The day arrived and so did my new Nokta Impact. Everything was present and accounted for. Well packaged and NO surprises. I did the least amount of manual reading I could to get the Impact put together and in the field pronto. I did have to install the software update to get the Red Edition wireless headphones to work but, they work fine. I didn't have much time but wanted to hit the field I have been pounding and the area I have recovered three Civil War Eagle buttons, my first Flying Eagle Cent, my first Spanish reale, and the crazy gold ring and diamond.
I still have quite a bit of adjusting to go through but, I do get the basics of the machine out of the box. Not too terribly different than my two Makro Racers to work through the menus and such. The Impact just has three frequencies and a variety of modes to select from. Should be fun experimenting and getting some pointers from some other Impact drivers.
Not much for finds but, my first recovery was a common little .22 short brass. I tried to avoid iron but did move a few small bits out of the way. I got a Winchester Leader 12 gauge brass. I got one of those nasty brass screws that give a really weird signal and a glob of lead. Getting dusk time I worked just off the edge of the field and got a deep iffy signal with some high VDI numbers that was tempting me. I dug a hole about 10 inches deep and finally flung out the thin "silver" disk and thought another reale, really?!? LOOL! It turned out to be an aluminum 25 cent piece of well worn play money. It sure was shiny under that black dirt. Headed toward the CV and dug one more iffy signal about 9 inches deep through some gravel. Got the nice old horse tack iron ring. Quite pleased I was able to get the new rig assembled and in the field to recover just a few decent targets. The cool large brass buckle was an eyeball find yesterday at my sand box field. It was laying right on the surface near a dump and burn pit. Anyone have any idea of the age or specific use on this cool old brass buckle? It's a really nice one and even has "BRASS" molded into the little pin thingy.
Sorry so long winded. Thanks for stopping by for the meager finds. In time I believe they will improve. Adios. Kurios1
