I like Field 2 for the type of hunting that I do. If you get in to a trashy area you may want to raise your recovery speed and see if it helps to ID good targets in the trash better.
Great job on the coins!

Nice shooting!

I would think that ML will improve upon the Multi IQ platform. Perhaps, a Nox with FE-CO display and target trace (hodograph)?
GPZ with discrimination capabilities?

Norm,
Same thing happened to me and, like you, I just did a factory reset on the detector and that solved it . No worries.

They both hit the the high conductors very well.

I only use 50 tones. Just more tonal information. After a while your subconscious becomes " tuned in" and you just know by the nuances of the tones what you are digging. Coming from the X-Terra and then the E-TRAC, using full tones, it was an easy transition for me. 5 tones just sounds " weak".

Wow! Awesome wrap up! Thanks!

Nice work! I usually ignore the zinc penny numbers as well in the more modern areas I hunt. Last evening though, I got surprised. I was hunting a small wood chips tot lot as I only had about an hour. It was pretty clean. Someone else must have hit it recently. I'm detecting the area of the big kid swings and I got a solid "zinc penny" hit 19-20. I decided to dig it since targets were few and was rewarded with a beautiful brass compass. Weird. Sometimes you just don't know what you're passing on.

Well done! Cool little buckle.

The steak lives on until next fall! Very nice work! I always enjoy reading about your hunts and enjoy hunting the beach vicariously through them. Thanks!

Nice! I found a new tot lot today when I went to watch my grandson play football. Gonna hit it on Thursday.

Very nice , Mike! Were you using your E-TRAC?
I did the same thing and only found a small silver ring and a silver crucifix with the 800. No gold. My Nox must be faulty!

GBing is just part of the process for me as well. If the ground is too trashy and I can't find a clean spot to GB I just put it in tracking and let the machine figure it out. It seems to settle down after a short period and all is good.

Congratulations on your purchase and good luck! I wish we had Colonial cellar holes to hunt here. Looking forward to a pic of your first silver.

Awesome finds! That ring is really cool! WTG.

Jim,
Don't encourage Terry to come back to AZ and hunt nuggets! There won't be any left for the rest of us!
Terry,
Nice hunting! What is the disc with the hole in it?

You guys have an excellent detector. It sounds like something is wrong with the machine itself since you have used different coils. I would contact ML. Good luck!

Very nice!
The streak continues!

It was about 85* up here in Prescott. ?

Sell the Nox while the demand is high. Get a CTX or perhaps the Kruzer. The Kruzer would probably be a in line money wise from the Nox sale.

You hit the nail on the head. The Nox has great tonal qaulities. Iffy sounding targets are usually junk. I mentioned a while back that I am rarely ever surprised by an iffy signal being a good target. Where as, I was often surprised by iffy signals on other machines being good targets. Clive describes this very well in his book. As you use the Nox more, and trust what it is telling you, your treasure to trash ratio really improves. I believe that the guys who purchased the Nox and then sold it soon after claiming that they were digging more junk than ever didn't spend enough time learning what it was telling them. It's tones are very descriptive.
