Went to a park with two baseball diamonds and picnic pavilion to swing baby Noxxy on the 600. I was able to dig about 25-35% of the grass area that was in the sun, but the rest of it was like digging in ice cream from a deep freeze!
Of course, there were a bunch of high tones at 6”+ that will be there for the Spring digs.
Ended up with 31 coins, and a total dug target count of about 75. Lots of aluminum bottle caps that ring up between dimes and quarters. Grrrr.... No pain...No gain!
Based on a recommendation from a video I watched, I set my sensitivity to 16 and recovery speed at 2. I also slowed down my swing speed to 1-2 seconds per swing. Swing speed is very important with this coil...at least it was for me. I need pay closer attention to which targets are affected on the next outing with Noxxy.
Periodically when I had a good signal at about 6” deep, I would boost the sensitivity to 20-22, and noticed the signal getting a little scratchy. On the same signal I changed the recovery speed to 3, and the signal became intermittent. This replicated itself about 75% of the time, and other times it made very little difference.
I spent 4-1/2 hours until I couldn’t take the cold any longer. There are a lot more targets to be dug there. Today I just focused on high tones 19 and above. The weather calls for even colder temps for the next five days, so I’m not sure when I’ll be getting out to play with Noxxy some more.
Thanks for looking!

I would need to write it all down, otherwise it all gets jumbled up after awhile...Old Timers Disease!
