It's obvious that other detectorists have already discovered the gold you are looking for because I don't see enough quarters in your piles! 😁

Hey....you did find a necklace in that first pic. That's a start. 😁

I thought it was nickels I wanted to find! And that was a bracelet, just string.

Mostly beach. I put the location under each photo.

Also, I’m just learning the nox. I have probably 500 hours with a GPX 5000 that describes the majority of my detecting experience. But there’s a lot of carryover foundation. I know I’m not operating my nox as good as I can operate my 5000, but I’m excited about logging the hours to master the nox.

I'm also in the same camp as you. Gold is incredibly rare or maybe i'm just not lucky for gold. Lucky for silver maybe got a number of silver jewelry and coins but very little gold. Gold rings are just non existent for me and the only gold object I found is a earring. Though I have found a gold colored ring of some sort, but It seems heavily plated if anything; it lacks the luster and smoothness that the earring has and has areas where copper is exposed? At least one area has copper colored metal used to seal a crack. Though strangely enough despite having been in the water for so long (as you can tell from the pockmarks), there's no tarnishing on the copper areas, or tarnishing in general.

Your on the targets and the more you use the NOX the better you will be. Just make sure that you dig everything as gold can come up as almost any number.

Good luck and good hunting.

What would be some pros and cons of running a GPX 5000 with a dd coil at the beach?

I’d say cons are:

- Not waterproof

- Heavy

- Deep digs

- EMI???

Got another hunt in as well. Trying to detect the wet and as close to the water as possible. But the beach is so steep and washed off that it’s been too much of a challenge for my well being to try and dig targets in the rolling tide. Bad timing today too, the tide was coming up.
