Very nice ring. Good job finding it.

Nice ring. If cleans up nice probably worth more.

Bat Mobile Toy Car From 1969
Rick N. MI replied to Kaolin washer's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
Cool find! -
It looks like Stability will help with any iron falsing from a low Iron filter setting. Were going to have find a balance between Iron filter and Stability depending on where we are hunting.
-
That's what I will use it in relic hunts too. 2 tone with Pitch in Field mode. I will like Audio gain maxed too. This update is going to change everything on the Legend making it so much better. Really looking forward to the update and extra coils.

Detecting In Fresh Water Lake?
Rick N. MI replied to Alberto Montano's topic in Nokta / Makro Metal Detectors
I forgot to say I like recovery at 3. If there is a lot of iron raise it up some. With the coming update there will be more settings. It goes very deep on gold jewelry. You'll enjoy it. -
Detecting In Fresh Water Lake?
Rick N. MI replied to Alberto Montano's topic in Nokta / Makro Metal Detectors
I would set sensitivity max if the ground is mild. I use 2 tone w/ tone break at 5. Set tone break at 11 if you don't want to dig foil. I use "A" disc pattern with Park or Field. Set iron tone low. I'm not sure which is more sensitive to gold, Park or Field. Try Gold mode too. You need to use the headphone adapter if you are going deeper. -
With iron bias at 1, you will hear more iron using Disc pattern A. I'm not sure how stability works yet. The Legend will be changed and work even better. I'm looking forward to the update and extra coils.

Xp Orx Or Equinox 800
Rick N. MI replied to John4455321's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
Having both the Equinox and Xp Orx is a good combination. The Orx w/9" hf coil excels in iron. I wouldn't trade an Equinox 800 for an Orx unless it's past it's 3 year warranty. If I could only have one, I would take the Orx. So darn light, depth great in mild ground and so good in separation. -
Great job on the tools Kac.
-
Great hunt. Cool finds. No brothel tokens yet?
-
Great camping trip. Nice to get out like that. Cool medals.
-
Sounds like a good coil. I wonder why it's solid.
-
Now I'm impressed with the 6" coil. Kac, I'm glad I kept it. Thanks for talking me into keeping it. I just ordered a 6" coil for my Equinox 800. I had one for quite while and sold it and now getting it back. I will be comparing them. If it's like the 11" coils that are pretty equal, the 6" coils will be about the same.
-
The Legend does like the coil raised about an 1" swinging it. I have test dime at 11" and with the coil close to ground swinging, no hit. Raise the coil up, and it slams it. On that dime I noticed that my Equinox 800 also likes the coil raised up. It gets a better hit. I didn't try single frequency. Maybe it smf thing. I don't know. I saw a Calabash video showing this with the Legend.

Orx is hot on gold. Nice finds.

Help Finding Places To Detect
Rick N. MI replied to Jack992007's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
You can go to the library and get historical books of your area, old plat books that show old houses and things that went on your area. There is a historical map web site where you can overlay old county maps over a new map. It helps you find different things. http://www.historicmapworks.com/?gclid=CjwKCAjwnZaVBhA6EiwAVVyv9K5SecYKk8eoi_RhHExxpVFLFqBWibwj53Iv9O5KUm6YltRQXHyI2RoC7gIQAvD_BwE If you are in a rural area, drive down 2 tracks looking for cellar holes, look for Walnut trees and in the spring, lilac bushes are signs something was there. Old 1 room school houses, old churches, ask permission at old houses, old campgrounds...Like was said beaches and hunt in the water. Maybe an old long gone fairground. There are many places. -
