It’s wild how short an amount of time it takes to finds a lost item sometimes. Takes longer to get to the site than to find it.  
Local club had request for someone to locate 2 rings for a young lady on the Isle of Palms SC.  Took me an hour and a half to get to the beach because an 18 wheeler flipped on the interstate. Once I got to the beach and met the gal it took 2 minutes to find the rings just under the sand.   

That’s one heck of a cut that shows up after a storm. Stay on that one for sure!

V rated do work on MXT, MX5, M6, DFX and the V3i I am almost positive. 

Timex takes a licking and keeps ticking.  Always amazed at the number of metal tent pegs that get lost. Sure would be nice if the plastic ones were used more, save a lot of digging. 

So far I’m impressed with the target pin point and i d.  

The 4x6 Shooter coil is a great little coil for small items down to say 6 inches. I used one on the MXT and MX5 and it locked onto small jewelry very well. Once found a girls ring, 10k, 1.7g at about 5 inches deep with the Shooter. I’m sure some of the after market smaller coils most likely work well also, I just never used any other small ones one the MX series.  I did use a SEF WSS 5x10 and really enjoyed it. Id use it at seeded hunts.  No need for a pin pointer, target was always dead center of the coil. Saved a lot of time in seeded timed hunt. 

Consider taking a backup, and or not getting to deep in the water. A well known dealer on this site just had one crash while water hunting I believe. Not saying there’s water issues like the Nox 800 but think about a backup. 

I’ve flown inside the US and to Colombia SA with a number of detectors including the Nox800, both carry on and checked. It has never been an issue with many of the airlines.  Of course check and make sure before you travel or maybe find a different airline. 

I agree with Jeff’s suggestions. I own the ML 800 and the Legend. For what you said you will be detector the Legend, Double Score and Nox 700 will do you good. 

Glad you are enjoying the Legend. I found a Kennedy half second time out with the Legend at a parks volley ball court. Try the 20 kHz frequency too.  Keep playing with it and happy hunting. 

Like Mark Twain said, better to remain silent,…

I’m guessing batteries are under the arm cuff similar to how Whites did some of there detectors like the MX Sport. 

My trip this year to Colombia will be the Nox 800 or my Legend with my 2 piece stainless steel scoop.  Can’t pack too much.  Heck, takes 2 days to get there from Boise. 

Next year take the Axiom with you Gerry to see if some targets are deeper than a VLF will hit. Better have a real good scoop, lol and dig fast before the sand fills back in. Few years ago I was detecting a beach near Cartagena Colombia.  The local beach vendors were amazed, acted like they had never seen a metal detector before. One guy followed me around for an hour until he got tired of watching me find bottle caps (checas). Soon as he left I found a sterling silver ring in knee deep water, followed by a men’s gold band shortly there after. Seems there’s not many beach hunters around that area. 

That is indeed a real nice find.  I’m sure your wife will be pleased. 

Thanks for sharing the video Jeff.  I found the sloppy way the coil wire was wrapped interesting. 🙄

Nice coin save!  I see the steaks, where’s the beers?

Not a bad wage for an 8 hour day!  Way to go, keep going maybe you’ll hit some bigger gold. 

That’s some beautiful jade!

Make the pawn shop an offer on the GMT, say $380 and see what they say.  You may be surprised. 

Welcome to the site. What part of SC are you from?  I lived in Summerville for over 30 years before moving to Idaho. There’s plenty of relics to find there on private land. Charleston does not allow metal detecting on public property such as parks or historic sites. 

Walley World has a water proof plastic box with a hinge lid gasket seal that will work nicely also. I’ve used one to assemble a pi surf pro detector knock off. 

That’s a fine looking chain and a nice clasp.  

Love getting out in the wilderness here in Idaho. River and streams around the Treasure Valley are starting to slow down finally. That’s some beautiful scenery there where you are. Wife and I want to get out this Sunday for her birthday. 

Swing low and slow. By the time you have 20-30 hours on it you’ll start finding some surprisingly interesting finds.  Hit some public areas where a lot of people get together. Volley ball courts are good for jewelry and coins and can be hunted in a short amount of time. Happy hunting.
