I really feel this new update to the Nox has opened up all the old spots for me. I'm finding things where I know I've swung the coil over many times and in many directions and I'm finding stuff! And the tones aren't scratchy or faint, the tones are loud and screaming.

I go to the park I found the nice 2 large cents in. It's been hunted a lot! Mary and I hunted the crap out of this little park and so have many others. It is really small. It was a doctors house in the late 1800's but burned down and the doctor donated the lot to the town as a park. Really trashy and lots of iron tones. First target is a memorial, second a aluminium staple, third an aluminium staple, forth an aluminium staple, ugh this goes on for a while.... Then I get a wheat and a few feet away I get the best old nickel I've ever found!

Then a bunch of clad and another wheat. Then I get another penny tone and out pops a ring. No writing on the inside but it does look like it was silver plated. You can't see it in the photo but in the recessed part of the ring you can see a silver glint.

It really made my day to get that V nick! And a bunch of teens asked me a bunch of questions and asked to see the V nickel. It seemed like they were impressed with the nickel and of all the finds I told them I've found. Future metal detectorists? lol

Nice old coins shooting! :occasion14:
 

The ground in new England really destroys the old nickels so that's a great find as I assume NY isn't that different in ground condition. Congrats!
 

Nice hunt & that's a good looking V nickel, nice ring & wheats, congrats on the saves.

I agree, the upgrade has been amazing at my pounded sites

Yeah I was surprised at the condition of this nickel. Usually they are really bad!
