  1. To me it does not matter if I am hunting gold or coins/relics , I dig it all, I do try to see if I can ID the item I am digging before I dig it.

    So far it has worked for me , was swinging for gold with the 6 inch coil, got a 14 then right away it hit a 3...swing the other way and got a 3 then went  to 14 ,  dug it, the 14 was a hot rock but beside it was a very small sliver of lead.  The lead read a 3....could have been gold .

  2. did not get to hunt a long time, got run out by thunder storms, big time.

    I did find 2 itty bitty pieces of lead.....one of them read a 3 and was next to a hot rock that read a 13.....swing one was it would read 13....3 then swing other wat it would read 3 ….13 so I dug...got the hot rock out, it read 13....swung back over hole and it read 3..dug a little more and found the lead....nice for the coil to separate the targets.

  3. Thanks , for the most part I have had the best luck hunting coins , I only live about 60 miles from a gold hunting area so I thought I

    would give it a try, so far I have never detected a nugget , but there is always a chance.

    Getting ready to head out and will report on my findings.

  4. Only had my Nox for a short time but I know if I go out detecting I pick the Nox up and leave the MXT and my MX Sport at home now...still learning but almost have no interest in other machines . But that is just me.

  5. Took my Equinox 800 out to play today . I went to a local Tot lot since it should be almost empty...it was . Found a bunch of clad, first find was a dime, then another dim. I got a solid 13 on it was double hitting, move the sand and there was a nickel....all in all I think I got about 1.77 in clad but I am getting better and ID with sounds...would here it , then look for what I thought it should be....still learning but having fun too....

  6. Waiting, learning , so when the 6 inch coil come out I can get one for some tight places I like to go.

    Figured I would have to dump the sand.....at least if I got sand I know I was swinging low enough :biggrin: .

    I was told that there was a group hunting on this beach the night before too.

    This is a beach on the Colorado river across from the Laughlin NV casinos...very popular with the tourists.
