Dances With Doves

Hi Phrunt.Rat shot would be about 82.36 pellets per gram or about .187 grains and .05 inches in diameter. Round pellets are much harder to hit then those flattened.If a machine can hit rat #12 shot then it is a tiny gold machine for sure.

Nice testing.#9 shot should be 2.01mm and 585 per ounce . See if you can get some rat shot.That would be 1.3mm and 2335 per ounce.That would be interesting in your tests. high antimony lead pellets have more per ounce.

Will hunt shallows plus shallow sandbars with it.They are mineralized so I hope it will ground balance in them.( Lake Ontario.)

I will be getting a Whites GMX in a few days that will be second hand.I hope it does good in shallow water.If not then it will be a turf and tot lot machine .That is 2 whites in a row for a purchace.I got a TRX last month. It took me 20 years to get a whites .A new machine always makes me try harder when I get it.It will be fun to see what it can do.

Good luck with the nox Rick.I am getting a second hand Gmx in a few days.If it does not work in shallows it will be a turf and tot lot machine. I will get both coils with it.

#9 shot would be common for close in doves or 410 shotgun skeet shooting.4 through 8 shot sizes would be more common then #9 shot overall.

That would be impressive for a pulse.I don't think my infinium would hit a lead bb which is .18 inches in diameter, and if it did it would be just barely.

That is a good amount of turf gold for that time frame.I would pick certain type of targets to dig and also mix it up a little. I would try not to burn myself out to fast when I was focused on turf gold. Location was everything for better results .One year I had more turf then water gold.

I won't hip mount it anymore because of all the coil problems it had when I did in water.

I have only found one turf gold with nox and that was because it sounded like a coin. I have been focusing on silver mostly with nox in the turf. In the water is a different matter. I Have got many gold with it.To get turf gold you have to be focused on it to get better results. I was more focused with x-terra on turf gold so I did much better.

I am on the NY side of lake.My friends parents and sister moved back to Greece and also live in Athens and are from a village in the Pellop. too.They have many orange and olive trees. Hard to top the history of Greece.Was in Athens last in 1982 to visit my Dads second cousin.

Hi Argyris.I find those aluminum nuggets in lake Ontario.They range in all sizes.They so sound good . I can tell the small ones by sound.My parents come from Florina area which is about as far from the sea as you can get in Greece.My fathers village of Drosopagi was burnt in world war 2.Not that old (1844-1944),but being by mount vitsi there are many gold coin stories I heard.Cans of gold dropped by planes in old village for war effort. I heard that German tourists came and camped by old village and when they left there was a hole where tent was.Old soldier that buried gold and went back and got it 40 years later.

How would you compare the beach tdi with the infinium for depth?

Getting turf gold chains is a great accomplishment. It does not happen to often.You have to hunt for them with a chain mind frame to have success.

Steve, take a different approach. Tell them to not make that coil. Then they probably will because they don't seem to listen to people with great detecting knowledge.

That would be a good coil for nox also. I would Just beef up those ears.

I would like to see a 6"concentric coil.They can use xterra solid coil mold which also has strong and thick ears.

Hi Tom, Have you ever got 2 in one day ? Have you got one as valuable as Cal Cobra since you have found many more then him.

Welcome to the $ 2.5 Indian gold coin club.It's the only one I am in.

Those 40% halves are a tough target to find.20 years and I only found 1 and that was in water. That is a great find to me.The 90% Kennedy is tough too.

I wish I had a 1$ for every pull tab I dug.

I only have the infinium for a PI machine.It has found me many rings. I like the audio on that machine even though it is not the depth demons as other Pi machines.I have not used it since july 2018 .Which is a month before I got my Nox 800, but in digging only deep targets I found 3 gold rings that were all nice in size the last time I used it .I Dug my biggest gold with it in 100 gram 10k medallion with chain. I wonder how much deeper this new machine is?

If you are wading in 5 feet of water do you think it would be ok?

I hope so. A 1 meter machine is a no go for me.

Your not going to sell a ton of that type machine for about 1500 -2000 $.To me that is for the advanced hunters who know what they are doing and know why they need that type of machine. I would like it for sanded in spots to get deep jewelry.
