On the Nox 800 you can basically eliminate most of the pull tabs and bottle caps by setting a high iron bias and discriminating out VDI 11-20 but you will miss good finds including Indian Heads, Nickels and several other desirable relics. It’s a powerful tool but use iron bias and discrimination with caution

Chase, thank you for the response and break down, being new and trying to learn i read watch videos and try to decipher what I see. I think this could get addicting. I love the equinox and I think as you said a few more hours swinging it I will get better. That ring was hitting a solid 14 and when it popped out I almost fell out. Once again thank you for the response and great information. I have lined up a Couple more old mansion style 1800’s homes to hit after if finish with the one I’ve been to a couple of times. I went yesterday and it gave up more wheats and a couple of old buttons and a rifle slug or 2 so I need to hit there again I feel. Maybe a lot more goodies as I actually concentrate and cover the ground and not go Willie Nilly across it.

I am new to detecting but have about 400 hours of YouTube detecting experience 😁. I got my equinox 800 about 3 weeks ago and have dug at 3 places old school (war nickel and wheat penny), 60’s abandoned house (clad dime and memorial copper penny} and an old farm house/boarding house built in 1890’s ( GOLD ring, Mercury dime, 4 Buffalo nickels, 1 war nickel, 8 1945-48 nickels, 35 wheat pennies and 5 memorial pennies. I am very very happy with my less than 1 month of digging but somehow I feel I’m missing silver at the old farm house. With that many coins from to 30’s and 40’s and only one Mercury dime and 1 silver nickel I’m not sure but wanted opinions as to what I am missing or is it just coincidental that no silver is popping up. I’m running park 1, all defaults with noise cancel and ground balanced out except yesterday I slowed recovery to 4 and decreased FE to 4. Thanks for the add and looking forward to suggestions. Tony
