Double Nickle Trifecta

[Dan(NM)]

I took my EQ800 to an old high school that I've been hunting for the last few years to see what the Nox could do. I started off in park 1 and the very first target was a solid 13 within 3 minutes, turned out to be a 1912 V-nickle at close to 5", I did my happy dance and knew this was going to be a fun machine. First impressions, of course, light, very fast and the responses left no doubt when you hit a good target. I'm not 100% sold on the sound of the wireless head phones, I think I'll end up using my Killer B's when I find the adapter for the WM08 I'll say this, nickles lock on 13 solid. I ended up with a double nickle trifecta, first time for me. 2 V-nickles, 2 buffs and 2 Jefferson's came out within the first hour. I found that customizing is very easy on fly if you can remember what the advanced settings do. I love that I can adjust the tones and the breaks much like my CTX and it's very easy to do so. Overall, I feel like it was worth all the waiting and can't wait to get a better grasp of what this machine can really do after a few more outings. I did dig a 9" wheat, the numbers bounced, but, I did get a repeatable high tone, very impressive!!

Hi Dan-
Were you not digging low tones with your Etrac/CTX? Seems both of these machines would have found these coins at just 5"?

The Double Trifecta now that is the way to break in the new machine! Still hunting my first V nickel, but like all the other things on my bucket list it's in the ground somewhere. Congratulations on a great hunt.

Hey Gary,

I have been guilty of cherry picking from time to time But, these guys were surround by low tones, I know I've hunted this spot with 2 tones ferrous with the Etrac more than once

That’s exciting! How did it do in the heavy trashy areas? I can’t wait to find out myself!
