Visiting Utahā€˜s capitol for a few days. Always love coming here because of cooler weather and older areas for detecting. Perfect for getting more experience with the 900. Pictured is three days of finds. I know that there are lots of fellow detectorists in this city, so I am gratified by what I found, because finding virgin ground is difficult. The 900 was ringing out, loud and clear for the three wheaties, down to 6-7ā€. While the soil wasnā€™t as dry as in the Las Vegas area, it is still on the dryer side. One of the things I really love about this detector, compared with the 800 is its pinpointing. I seldom use the pinpointing function, but rely on just criss-crossing the target with the coil. It is very accurate.
Although I didnā€™t expect to find silver coins, seeing the depth of the wheaties gave me hope. But no success; I had to be satisfied with this nice silver ring. I am very curious about the ā€œblobā€ of metal behind it. When I first dug it, I thought it was a glob of lead and I almost threw it away. After washing it off a bit, I see yellow showing thru. Now, Iā€™m wondering if it might beā€¦please!ā€¦a piece of melted gold. Itā€™s not brass or copper, but very heavy. Iā€™ll have to test it when I get back home.
Anyway, the 900 is a keeper!

A great haul - congrats !
There's no better way to learn a new machine than spending as much time in the field as possible.
Continued good luck with your NOX 900 !
