Buzzard

Went out to a local freshwater beach on the Colorado River , was full of folk this weekend....

Got there at day break...was already 8 folks hunting , I took my place on the beach.
I found 5 pennies , 2 dimes and 2 sinkers plus 3 metal tent pegs . Still learning but I am getting able to tell bottle caps from coins and pull tabs . If it beeps I still dig it but I try to ID what I am about to dig.  Hardest thing to find was 2 split-shot sinkers as they was the same color as some of the gravel.

I am learning , finding stuff , but learning.

Does anyone have problems with sand getting in between the coil and cover....how to fix it ????

I would like a chance at the rock hound books.....I like to hunt rocks  ,  they move slow enough I can catch them....

No matter what the weight it is still a very nice find.

Steve , that sounds like what I should do....I want to learn this machine and find "goodies"....but anything I find I a goody as far as  I am concerned.....I am happy to find "stuff" .

In everyones opinion what would be better...Park 1 or Park 2 for a newbie to the Nox 800.

I hunt freshwater beach (on the Colorado river in AZ ) also tot lots in town plus a few old home sites ( not that old ) , mostly foundations.

For me right now as I am just learning my Nox 800.....if it beeps , I dig it. I just take note of what the number was so I can refer back in my mind (what little I got ) as to what it might be that I dig.

Just got back, was surprised as the river was running high.....one place I have been before almost had no beach at all.

The other beach I went to there was 3 folks fishing and 4 others detecting......they was leaving as I got there , was told that they had been there for about 2 or 3 hours before I got there.

  Well , I found a sinker , a nickle , 6 pennies.....we won't count the bottle caps or pull tabs.

But I am learning......going to take some doing compared to my MXT or MX Sport.

Looking forward to my next hunt.

I will be going out into the real world detecting this morning, going to a freshwater beach....not and old beach but busy on the weekends. I have seen other detectors out there but nothing too fancy.

We will see how the Nox does...I know lots of bottle caps.

NOX IN HAND....whooo whoooooo. Trying to sit still for it to charge now...….took less than a week to get it and that included the weekend.

I waited for dealers  , but I was told Cabelas had them in stock. I ordered one, so far is has been a week, including the weekend.

Getting really excited , tracking says my Nox is in town and ready for delivery.......now watching out the window for the Big Brown Truck......hurry hurry please  .

Woke up this morning (Sunday) and thought only a few hours 'till I get my Nox.......Then I came in and looked at my computer and realized....not until Monday.....still waiting.

Nice going Mitchel , I will get my 800 tomorrow....looking forward yo it.

Very nice , can't wait until my 800 gets here,,,on Monday.

Wow , I just got a notice that my

nox 800 will be here on Monday the 21st.   Now I feel like a little kid waiting for it.

just got a notice , my nox will be here on the 21st...Monday....yea , can't wait .   Feel like a little kid .

Ordered my Nox 800 from cabelas yesterday , now I am still waiting. Better to be told 4 to 7 working days than might be next week or so.....................looked on my porch...not here yet.

Seems none of the local area dealers had a Nox 800 so I saw that Cabelas did , so I ordered one.
They said 4 to 7 working days for delivery....We will see.

Looking forward to hunting with it.

Nice finds....The Bell looks like it could be brass

I am waiting for an 800 too, looking at the 6" coil already and don't have machine in hand......would like to hear from anyone that has a 6" coil on theirs , and how it does.

I got one when they was first released and no way will I let it go.

I got rid of my VX3 , got a Whites MX SPORT.....much easier to use and a lot led learning curve.

I tried the GM in some tot lots and it hit on every little bitty piece of foil there.....way to sensitive in my opinion.

after dealing with personal issues I got out with the MXS....Took it to a wel hammered spot full of trash , I have found coins there before but thought I got them all.
Well the mxs did not let me down , found 2 zinks in a place that I know I have been over before with other machines (even an MXT) I am well pleased, there is a small learning curve but practice will cure that.
