Dances With Doves

I also like to know what my partner has found when we hunt together no matter how bad he is kicking my butt. It gives me the inspiration that I need to do something different to get his results.I got a Nox and was out doing my friend with his explorer so he adjusted by getting a Nox also and he is making great finds too.The motivation to get better results will help you be a better hunter.To me a good day is when Me and my friend both have a good day.It makes detecting even more fun.I am happy when my friends make good finds and am happy for those here who make good finds too.

I bought my custom Tony Eis. headphones for water hunting.I tried them one time in the turf hardwired to the machine and in 50 tones pk1 and I never went back to wireless for serious coin hunting.I did much better this way.

I enjoyed your posts.I know your results are believable because if you are a good hunter and you are in a good spot the gold can pile up.

The 6" coil is great for jewelry in the trash.

2019 and 2020 so far with more to come.Google West Point quarters.

Have you found one either detecting or in your change? We have a circulating clad coin worth taking a good look at and worth much more than a regular Mercury dime. Only 2 million released mixed with P and D quarters rolls per design. I see some going for $36 on E bay. Happy hunting.

On the Nox the 6' coil is much better on the tough gold because you can isolate the target better plus it will not get the target masked like the 11' coil. I have a 4mm 10k yellow gold stud earring that the 6" coil gets but the 11'' is a fail on this target because of masking.If you can get to where the roped swimming areas are in your lake then go to town on these targets.

Those Seem like good choices.The Nox with the 6'' coil is not bad either in park2 or the field 2 modes, plus the most sensitive modes are the gold modes . In all the above try multi or 40kz.I have tested a lot of the jewelry you are talking about and the nox will keep up with the best of them with better id in the multi modes.It will hit a 3mm 10k white gold stud earring which is the toughest of targets.It will also hit all chains nicely. Good luck.

I think they would use those coins to pay the soldiers a lot of times.

Welcome to the gold coin club.Those small ones would be tough to find. I hear Tom from California welcomes all new members to the club with a Prime rib dinner. I still remember when I found my 2 in 2003 which were in the same hole and that is as good as it gets for detecting. You now have gold coin honors on this forum since you are the last person to find one.Steve your next!

Maybe you can sneak out a small gold coin with this machine.

I tried the TRX on the toughest micro gold target which would be a 3 mm 10k white gold stud earring and it would not hit it.It would hit a very small yellow gold earring back at 1/8 of an inch and a bigger one at 3/8 of an inch.It would also hit a small 3/4 inch diameter hollow 10k yellow gold hoop earring at about an inch. It would be something if they made a pi pin pointer that would hit my 3 mm earring.This is on the 3 setting. If I have time I will try the 4 setting.

Great find.I think they use 6 prongs on the better diamond rings.That is a classic beach find.

Fantastic hunt.The only silver dollar I ever found was also a 1892- o Morgan dollar.I have a book by Dick Stout on coin hunting and picnic groves were his favorite place for coins.

i was hunting a pounded old school along a small hill at the fence line between the houses when I noticed a small dove about 20 yards away.I got any iffy hit and dug a Barber dime which shocked me because i have not found a good coin in this section in a long time so I did a little dance and the dove was dancing with me.I would go to the left and he would go to the right.I would go right and he would go to left.We kept this up for 40 minutes when the dimming light finally sent him off.I thought that was odd as doves usually take off right away when you are near them but not this little guy.My metal detecting name is because of this little care free dove. Hi Jeff. I always enjoy your input on things. Where and why do you like to use your Vanquish since you also have the Nox. Would you say the 7by10 coil on the Vanquish helps make your decision when going for basic targets(THE many gold and coin signals you get in schools plus parks)?

Me and my friend did really well at one freshwater finger lake here in N.Y. with the AT GOLD and it's stock coil. It discriminated the bottle caps very well that infested this lake and hit the gold with gusto. We found many silver coins at the ghost pier that had many nails. This machine was paid back very fast and I have my record of 6 gold in a day with it even though I got 5 with the Nox in a 2.5 hour hunt where the 6 gold needed a 8 hour hunt. The iron audio would get to you in thick iron after a while. It would be nice to lower the volume on it. A very fun machine to use at the beach and in tot lots.

Do you know your pull tab to gold ratio?Good job on the bling.

a very small 316 type stainless ring can give you a #1 since I found one in an engagement type style ring.

I focused on gold one year instead of silver and got more in the turf then in the water but it is a lot of work.You can't compare areas as some just have more then others. I got 96 last year so it was nice to get 100 again.I got 247 in 2001 but it was so much easier back then with a machine like the explorer and with so much more coins.Hunting in today parks is like playing a very difficult golf course in difficult conditions vs. a easy golf course in ideal conditions which what it was like hunting the parks in the years before around 2008.I will try to put some of the coins together to get a picture since they are put away. Me and my 2 friends found a massive coin spill with over 1200 silver coins in a spot in 2006 that would have brought me over 500 for the year but that year I had about 130 individual coins and over 400 from the spill.About indian pennies,I talked to a old timer who had a paper route in 1939 who kept records.He told me that out of 10 pennies he got from his route that about 2 would be indian pennies even 30 years from the last time they were minted. This would be from upstate N. Y. There still has to be a 1916- d mercury dime waiting for you in those Denver parks.

If you ever hunt for small gold in the turf the small coils are much better in so many ways and more enjoyable.

I have a very small white gold ring that will id at 2(AIR test) at about 9 inches and in pk2 in a high emi area(my house )and I can get it with the nox and 6"coil with pretty good id.The gmx also gives a soft signal but the nox id is more reliable.For some reason my 4by6 gmx dd is not that deep of a coil and would not hit your target if I was betting.

With all the damage the many good explorer hunters did in my area to the silver turf population it shows me that the Nox is at or near the top of the class for silver coins.This is all from hard hit spots with about 15 from the water.My friend who just switched from the explorer to the nox(this year) is at 48 and he has won the title for most silver in a year many times.He has the best 2 silver coins with a barber half and a seated quarter .I did manage 3 walker halves and a 1894-o barber dime.I agree with people when they say if they could only use 1 machine that they would pick the nox. I am at a 102 so maybe I can focus on some turf gold since I only have 1 for the year and the only reason I dug it was because it was a nickle hit next to a wheat penny I just dug.

Nice finds.I actually detected a very old bottle in a lake because the metal top was still in it.

Yes,it is a party spot where boats can be packed like sardines for nearly a mile on a good day.I hunt the top plus the slopes and there is not as much junk as in close.People like to play on the first sand bar and the water is clearer.In close you want to find a spot where there there are more heavy objects because of the currents .That is where I got most of my gold this year.If the gold kruzer is better then nox in thick iron I might get one.
