They needed a pump and pipeline just for their whiskey supply !

While i have been slack in the giving of likes i have to say i have enjoyed this thread more than anything i have ever read on any forum ! So it's some sort of Super Dooper Like from me . Thanks for all the words and pics .

Waterproof thanks , i really need a deep PI beach machine . Would also want to use it on some highly mineralized relic sites . If the price and weight are reasonable they can put me down on a future pre order list right now !

Great to see a powder flask found . I love finding them and have been meaning to do a post about them on this forum , will have to extract a digit . I see no real benefit doing a reset when using my 10x5 . The occasional target upgrading by a single digit is hardly worth the inconvenience of redoing settings and i mostly dig it all anyway as long as not clearly ferrous . The 10x5 is superior in red basalt soils near here that give high ground balance values and very limited depth with the 11" , and 15x12" . It's an all round very worthy addition to the armory in my experience .

I agree with Tom's comments above . I have had one for a fair while now and find the balance so much better , separation superior and sometimes surprisingly deep . Great for working in the bushes even though it's an open coil it doesn't pick up anywhere near as many sticks as the 11" . My only complaint is mine is a bit knock sensitive but i can usually pick out the good sounds . Some coins can register one number higher also . Will be interested to see Cal's comments after trying it .

Beautiful relics !

Enjoyed the vid . The Reale is a ripper find , but maybe a bit strangely the bird cage button really gets my attention !

Bloody ripper , can sign in again ! Just shows , ya don't know what you've got till it's gone !

After being told a delivery date was open ended I was very surprised to find a 10 x 5 in my mail last week . Have used it 3 times so far and loving it . I suspect some of you gold chasers will prefer it over the Minelab doughnut coil also . They must be ramping up production so i hope USA supplies are on the up .

I tried to buy the 10x5 Nox coil here in Aus yesterday and found it was out of stock everywhere while the larger coils were all in stock . The dealers could not even give me an approximate time of arrival for new stock . It appears that Coiltek may have over estimated the demand for the larger coils and dramatically under estimated the demand for the 10x5 .

Dream finds right there ! Congrats getting a gold coin . Buckles are beauties .

I have not detected a snake yet , and hope i do not . But i have detected many sand crabs with the Nox while beach hunting . They give a bumpy 2 to 7 signal that is similar to some of my small gold jewellery finds so i have to dig them .

Maybe Japanese ???

Great machine isn't it ?! My personal feeling is that recovery speed of 4 is a bit of a sweet spot in my settings for many areas , combining good depth , and separation if you slow down your swing . Interested in other opinions on this .

Two ripping answers from Chase that are worth reading again . If you are missing silvers with the Nox then you are doing something wrong . Many here in Aust. consider the Nox to be a silver slayer , in particular of small silvers like our 3 and 6 pence coins . My personal experience has been that anywhere that i have covered with other machines in the past , the Nox can find a little more . Have faith in your Nox , learn it's ways and you will do well .

Wonderful find ! History right there in your hand find . Envious !

What a stunner ! Congrats .

Horse reins guide , called a terret ring . Most likely had a threaded shaft where the broken spot is . Found a few here , mostly turn up on older sites .

Great achievement finding the other half . If nobody claims it then i think you deserve to keep it for your hard work , skill , and perseverance . Congrats .

Congrats ! Enjoy the buzz that comes with finding a gold coin . Now you have broken the seal you may find more .

Glad they are working well for you KDOCAC . I have been using a pair of them with my Nox for more than two years , with complete satisfaction . While i wouldn't recommend it to anyone else i have worn them in fairly heavy rain without a problem . They have also had some heavy knocks when dropped on rocks and cement , and still going . I wore out the studs that the Miccus cups rotate on to the point where the cups snapped off the headband . Minelab did replace them but by then i had found the Avantree and have not gone back . Good hunting .

Like phrunt i also note with interest the similar numbers of some of your US coins to our British style gold coins . Half Sovereign = 15 . Full Sovereign = 18 out of ground , but can be a bit flakey in ground with 17's showing at times . And the Guinea = 18 solid in ground and out .

Saw a beauty a few years ago up here in Northern Tasmania . Driving home late at night in a country area , no lighting to lessen the effect of the meteor's brightness . It appeared from my RHS passing high above the car , disappearing low over the horizon to my left . A dazzling bright green light that lit the countryside so brightly that i could see like it was daylight ! Nearly ran off the road as i had never seen anything like it . It's an awesome experience if your ever lucky enough to see one .

I know little about American coinage but the Half and Full Dollar coins in your first photo sure are beautiful coins ! Congrats , and good luck with finding a gold coin , they seem to turn up when you least expect one .

Ripper bunch of finds ! A nice bottle collection in one hunt .
