It's been about 9 months since I signed in or posted. I've been lazy about posting. I recently upgraded to the Nox 800 and yesterday was my 4th day using it. Switching from the AT Pro to the Nox 800 has been a piece of cake. I've pulled silver each day I've used the 800 so far. I did a morning hunt and an afternoon hunt.

The morning hunt didn't yield much and it was short. I managed to pull this big name plate. I usually dig all targets in quiet areas.

In the afternoon i went to a park where I've found a 1800s coins in the past. I've hit it multiple times with the ATP but i can't say I covered every inch.

My first good target was this ring really close to the base of a young tree. The stone was already out when I found it in the plug. I attempted to sift around to find it but no luck.

Continuing on swinging, I found myself at a big tree with a lot of broken branches around it. I got this amazing sounding tone around 33VDI, I didn't think about it, I pinpointed and dug the plug. My first Seated Half. I had to pinch myself to make sure I was alive and not in MD heaven hahaha.

most likely the stone in the ring was a black onyx, possibly center drilled with an accent diamond or a monogram initial added. Excellent finds. Congrats on the half, that's awesome.

Congrats Louis! You are on an incredible start/streak with your Nox. That Half is going to be tough to beat. We’ve had some fun hunts this year, thanks for the invites and good to see a post finally...

Now you're asking yourself, why did I wait so long to make the switch? Congrats on that big seated. I've never even dug a seated quarter!

Congratulations on the half dollar, Metal Headz. I personally was more interested in the tag you found
