Well I keep pulling the lever on this slot machine named Equinox and it seems to keep coming up all cherries.lol

I witnessed some phenomenal performance today.

The 2 coins on the bottom found under a monster hickory tree I have swung every detector I have ever owned and coils to boot. I never found the first coin previously. So I was walking on at least these 2 coins at the bottom seems for the last 7 years. This area I think I is where the folks tied up their work animals to be in the shade and maybe why their were taking lunch. Iron city big, medium and small. This homesite has only given up one silver in all previous hunts combined using several models detectors and coils.

Gotta love the Nox. And to be able to so this in this area with stock sized coil-mind boggling. Again park 2 speed 7, 0 iron bias.

Thanks for looking

Nice TN! Curious how deep on the Merc and were you on max sensitivity? Haven't tried to dirt fish with the Nox yet. Taking my Nox out again this weekend to hit a smaller out of the way beach by me that not many hit (probably because it does not get much people traffic during the summer). Looking forward to see what the Nox does :)

Great finds so far for you this year TN.

I know what you mean about walking over something repeatedly then finding it. My Deus found an 1858 cent on a spot I knew I had run a loop over about 20 times. Really bad soil in my case. Used the 74 khz frequency. The 28khz wouldn't touch it.

TPnet, yup, that'll do it. I'll get to see one in 16 days. Doing a side by side with another digger and at least 3 brands of machines.

Steve,
If I didn't have a Deus or had never run a Deus, I wouldn't know exactly how good Nox really is.
Some folks think I am exaggerating I reckon or trying to blow smoke.
All I can do is report the truth.

Even though I don't water hunt (might start doing) I have even pointed out to folks this mighty separation/unmasking the Nox has will sure allow folks to make some finds hidden in the past. Seems now I am starting to see some water hunting reveres where this is indeed the case.
