Work has been crazy and it's cold as a witches...well, anyway, I did manage to get 30 minutes or so around lunch. We live on 17 acres of what was the original Collinsville before they moved a mile or so west to be near the railroad. I've found roundballs, j-hooks, etc around here with the T2. So, first time out with the 800 I went to the far side of the main house's front yard. A little creek runs through there and on the other side is a small island with no grass. I hunted the creek for 10 minutes or so but mostly iron, can slaw and some aluminum siding I guess. I was pretty sure the hits were iron and they hit a solid 19 or 20, but a 90 degree turn was hitting from 1 to 25 but wanting to get to know the machine I dug anyway. Still, not a bad haul for 30 minutes. It's all modern. Not sure about the melted lead, could be older. All of those pieces of melted lead were next to each other. I thought I had it all, but the nox chirped a faint 19 at 8" so I dug and found that last tiny fragment. I have no idea what that large iron thingy is. I'm impressed so far :)

Also, forgot to mention, the pinpoint feature on the Nox compared with my T2 is far far superior. Pretty impressive!
 

Congrats on the finds with the 800.
 

Thanks, it's nothing special so wasn't going to bother with Today's Finds but since I just got the machine yesterday I thought I would post here. Every time I was almost fooled by iron I thought of you @Truth1253 (I wish you could tag in posts here...). Freezing rain, ice, sleet and snow for the next 2-3 days so here's to next week :coffee2:!
 

Btw, that unknown object is a portion of a T-Post bottom.
 

wallrat -- NICE job, getting a feel for the new Equinox! ;)
