rvpopeye Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 The 800 in factory settings gold modes should have been your ticket in a place like that IMO .. Try again , (with less distractions) , and GO SLOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any detector that does find you some gold would be great---especially if it is on your claim. This is a basic tenet of detectorists'--- to know where they are at at all times-- dont be that guy who has to be embarrassed when the real claim owner shows up busting your a.. and all you can say is. " I thought we were on my claim"-- Trust me-- at the time it sounds so weak of an excuse that you will want to crawl under a rock. Hopefully the claim owner will blow it off and tell you exactly what i just did. Opinion given with love---- but dont mess up!!! -- too easy to use a real map !!! You seemed to missed what I posted , I was invited by the claim owner to go with to checkout his claims , when we got to where he thought his claims were , I looked at his paperwork [ limited ] IT LOOKED TO ME THAT WE WERE NOT ON HIS CLAIM , I took us to his claim with his limited paperwork , then the person who brokered the claims came a couple days confirmed where I said they were !

Gerry in Idaho has a lot if experience with using a Nox on tailings- this is a good read too: https://www.detectorprospector.com/forums/topic/15207-why-ive-found-more-ounces-of-au-with-sub-1000-detector-when-i-own-an-sdc-gpx-gpz/?tab=comments#comment-155676 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD0CAC Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 I checked out Gerry's linked post , helps to confirm , just more time to learn the NOX , and more time in that area ? Too bad I do not live closer to Colorado and frequent the same spot . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
