Fellas, I need a little help. I have the Nox 800. I've mentioned in previous threads I'm having trouble finding deep nonferrous metals, particularly coins. I went to a field behind my house where they are doing some dirt work to build a housing addition. No electric work has been done. I buried a silver dime at 6"... maybe 6.5" I noise cancel and ground balance. Using factory settings. On Park 1, it came in fairly strong. I was even able to lift the coil off the ground and pick it up at around 8". I switched to Park 2 and it was inconsistently picking it up showing a VDI of.....1 to 2?!?!? This makes no sense to me. This was a clean hole with nothing around it. I also went to Field 1 & 2 and Beach 1 & 2. I noticed a theme. The "1" setting always performed better than the "2" setting. I know most people seem to prefer the "2" setting. I'm pretty frustrated at this point. I'm definitely a novice detector and I've only put in about 10 hours of actual digging with the 800. Obviously I'll hunt more in Park 1 now but I also know that I should be picking up a dime at 6" in Park 2. There has to be some kind of adjustment I need to make. If you have any thoughts or recommendations...I'd appreciate it.
