Popular Post Dan(NM) Posted May 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2019 I was able to get back to my honey hole again today. I'm in an unusual situation in life that allows me to hunt more than I normally would, so.......Off I go to try and round up a few more relics while I can. The morning just sucked!! I dug nothing but trash with an occasional percussion cap and a piece of lead here and there. I told myself I would move to another spot and if the trend continued, I was outta there. Fortunately I was able to meander to a hot spot that finally started to give it up and was able to salvage the day. Most of the finds came within the last couple of hours of the hunt and I left feeling very gratified and tired!!! I scored what I believe are 2 Confederate ringtail Sharps, but, I could be mistaken. I'm loving the Nox for this kind of hunting. Let me know if these posts are getting old ? My settings were: Nox 800 Park 2 11" coil GB 0 Recovery 6 Iron Bias 0 2 Tones Tone break -9 to +8 Sens 21 Disc -9 to 0 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowdog Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 That pecan grove must have some relic trees in full bloom. Who could possibly tire of your harvest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting your settings, too. Is that larger button silver? Very nice looking after you cleaned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aygore Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Congrats Dan! I've tried to use 2 tones setting in the field, but it is harder than it sounds. I am so used to 5 & 50 tones that while using 2 tones I can't really tell what is underneath the coil. Everything sounds like a silver coin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set mine up this way at this location, because if I get a repeatable tone, I'm going to dig it. I have my first tone break pitch set at 1, my other tone break pitch is set at 25. For me, when I'm on an 8 to 10 hour hunt, I don't have that mental fatigue from listening to more than a two tones. My hunting partner, he can't stand running two tones.
