The title pretty much sums up my 7-1/2 hours spent digging in one of my favorite parks. Put the 6” coil on the Nox 600 and went to work on an area that I’ve hunted twice before, with larger coils. The small coil made a HUGE difference in isolating the high tome coins, and it got me into the scrub growth at the tree line to pull a few coins from that area. The dinosaur 🦖 was Unser the leaves at the tree line, and was probably protecting the silver dime that was a few inches away from him down about 8”.

I completely lost track of time, and my back was telling me it was time to quit. I took some ibuprofen when I got home, and I’m not looking forward to how I’ll feel in the morning...no pain, no gain! 👍😂

I stopped twice to get a swig of coffee from my thermos, but never let up aside from that. Had to switch from my Miccus SR71 headphones over to my earbuds.something goofy happened when I walked back to the truck for coffee, and left the detector in the field. I couldn’t get them to pair, so I just switched. Sure glad I had the buds with me. I believe in having backups for everything. My AT Max is also,in the truck...just in case!
