fogrider Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I installed a Coiltek 10x5 on my Nox 600, and went out in the backyard for a trial run. I search an area I previously hit hard, and found some coin-like junk and a 1 cent piece. Great separation qualities. I picked the 1 cent piece out of a group of iron nails. I'm happy so far. I can't wait to search an old site..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fogrider Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 1/2 hour hunt on an area of my backyard that I've hunted 3 times before. One men's ring and two pennies ('59 and '60). The 10x5 provides precise separation of close targets. A slow sweep, and careful attention to the audio signal help maximize the benefit of the coil. It seems to detect coins on-edge quite well; providing a slightly bouncy yet repeatable signal. I think the initials on the ring are FDH. A pioneer named Frederick Hoar homesteaded a 1/4 section 2 miles from my place, on July 7, 1928. Might be his ring. Nox 600, Park 1, 5 tones, 12, 20-40 discriminate, 4 kHz, 10x5 coil. Might head out to an old baseball diamond later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fogrider Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Took the Nox to a local 1937 community hall (with permission). Hit it Friday after work, and most of the day today. Ran it mostly on multi-frequency. The 10x5 worked well in the trashy conditions. So many bottle caps! Met the 80 year old 2nd generation pioneer that played ball there when he was a kid. He was a wealth of information. Nice guy. Their baseball team was called "The Pirogies" (They were Ukrainian!) Had a great day. The scenery and weather were fantastic. 47 ML nickel, 43, 47 (x2), 53, 55, 57 dimes, and a 1935 1 cent: There was a lot of action around the old concession window. I thanked the caretaker by trimming around the building. Happy hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fogrider Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Looks like the 10x5 and the 6 are both winners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
