Hello,

I am Michael Vojnovich.

I recently relocated to Rochester NY for work.

I am looking to metal detect with someone or a group of people in this area as I have never been here before.

My cell number is 262-914-3115

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

Hi Michael.I will try to get hold of you soon.You can hunt with me and a few of my buddies.What town do you live in ? I live in the  Greece/Charlotte area.Maybe we can meet in  Durand soon.Look it up. It has a beach and a lot of woods to hunt.I have got 5 silver so far in this short year.Clad Hopper  got a AU split  band 1924 merc,a 1919-s merc plus a regular merc and a washington quarter.I went out 1 more time then him.I also got a 1940  bird band.All at durand.I use a Nox  800 and so does  Clad hopper.

With all the good hunters in southern California having good   coverage might help you get your  share of the goodies.

If they put the ATX in the Infinum box  and charge  $999 they would probably sell  a good amount  of them.All types of hunters would go for it.

You Southern California guys sure do well on the goodies.

I never used the 15'' coil but i used a 3 by 18"clean sweep   on my Bandito  on a 800 by 80 yard beach after  busy weekends and liked the coverage.It found me a 3/4 ounce 18 k   chain so it owes me nothing.That  coil is built like a  brick.I would like one for the Nox.A fresh   drop treasure  gulping coil  it would be.

Happy New Year

  Congrats on getting a dime on the first day of  the year. You are on the silver board for 2021.Me and my 2 buddies  went  out on a county park area today and all of us  got 1 silver.I got a deep worn 1929     😃  merc and  one 1 buddy got a  Washington quarter and the other a silver   Rosie.I got mine by the road too.

We  average about a 100 inches a year so it is a bonus if we can go out this time of year .I have to do something about my goose egg silver count for year. How many of you have detectable   ground today Good   luck.

I have been lucky with my Nox.  I have had it under the water for many hours with no problems .I cut a piece of a pool noodle and put it between the pod and the arm cuff so it stays upright and never goes to deep.A  foot and a  half submerged tops with it being under mostly about 10 inches or less.I have had it under about a foot  deep for at least 5  hours  many times too in a certain lake.

My   friend Tony , Who made Grave-Digger max a titanium   scoop found a titanium Tiffany ring.

You must have your own field of  dreams  there in Iowa.Great     hunting.I have over 100 coins to and  I could not  get even 1 seated even though my buddy  Clad  Hopper has 2. 

It would be nice if they made  strong  thick ears for the stock coil of that machine.

When I hip mounted the machine in the water the coil seemed to go bad much faster then having it  taped tight to the machine.Taping it made it much more stable.I   wonder if  Garrett would  replace The infinum   since they don't make it anymore  with a ATX at a discount price?

Thanks DWD! I do love to find gold but you are right- a silver Tiffany ring is often more valuable than a generic gold ring and T&Co is always a big hit with the girls in the family. 

I  Hope you get a gold Tiffany next.In 20 years i have gotten 3 silver ones.A ring in the  water,A  chain with pendent in the   dry sand and a chain with pendent in the turf.I have not got one in about 5  years. My friend has about 3  too.He also got a  dry sand  trifecta.Gold  ,Platinum and silver in 1 day.He is the only one  I know who has done it on the    dry sand.

If  Minelab comes up with a Flagship Nox/CTX type machine what are you  willing to pay since you could get a Nox  800 for $899, and cheaper for   those who served the military.It would be tough for me to get one if it's much over $1500.

Your having  a great year.A Tifanny=as good as gold.

I think Jerry heard ya, DwD.

 

I  talked to my buddy Tony and he said I could use his Ctx anytime since he does not use it anymore and the only time he really goes out is with me.He hates the  cold but it seems that is when he does the best so i call him Iceman   this time of year. He  uses  the  Nox now.I have used it a few times  and  did well with his settings.  

 I have not used mine since I got the Nox but the last time  I used it  I found 3 gold in the big lake.This machine does really well in spots on the  Great lakes where black sand from wave action could be  hiding the gold.

i remember our   Steve doing a article on finding coins on a pounded Alaska beach that   was a little hot because of  it's sand.He did well  pulling     some   tough coins out that were missed    by a vlf machine but found with  pulse machines   .I bought the weaker Garrett Infinium and did well on old coins missed by other machines in  my beach  on Lake Ontario that  had a little black sand mixed with the tan sand.Get a big shovel and dig the low /high hits    .It was fun.   

Tom from  California is always telling us about all are easy east coast large cents.It seems that   1 of 3 coins those California relic spot hunters find is worth over a  hundred bucks.It pays to do research there.  

 One of the things talked about is a 100kz. setting with it's own specific coil  for it   in a  carpet of nails type hunting situation which   should interest relic hunters. They might be      trying to put multi IQ tech in a CTX type machine   also.Time will tell.

Is that even possible?

Tom D. on his forum described the Nox as a  mid price/ mid line  machine, he said to  think of the new machine as flagship.That to  me seems  much better.I could be wrong but he is involved with this future machine.

I'd love to own a CTX.

You would probably enjoy it in your coin  fields since you like superior target ID.  

I found a lot of  great things with my X-terra including all 7 of my  Jesuit  rings plus most of my turf gold and tot lot gold.I never got to try a 3kz. dd coil and  I am thinking of getting  the  7" dd mars coil called the lion.

Fantastic day.
