TampaBayBrad Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 If it is gold, whoever lost it was rich. Never seen one before. Kinda like owning a gold toilet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like owning a gold toilet. haha.. it was found at palm oil plantations in a soil with heavy use of fertilizer.. usually anything plated will be corroded and have ugly patina.. but this button came out as it is.. there were several buttons (like chinese origin button design) were found in this area but bigger abit than this. The thing that makes me unsure is the ID of 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right about how clean it comes out. The gold I've found in the salty sand or water has been gleaming bright. If it's plated, it gets worn off just from chemical reaction.

Dug D Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Its unfortunate that your button is showing wear already, there are some covers for about $ 25 that work pretty well, mine seems to have a little extra reflection, the only down side. It seems to have happened fast on your Manti, I wonder if the control pad is the same as the old noxs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a weekend detectorist.. usually around 4 to 7 hours per session.. even then not every weekend I went hunting except for the first few days back to back when I received the Manticore and m8. Hopefully it just effecting outer coating cosmetic. My nox 800 doesn't have this issue even after 4 years of used.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okara gold Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 No problems with mine yet but I use mine mostly in the water so there isn't any dirt or grit on my fingers or gloves to wear or scratch anything. My Nox is one of the originals issued and has no signs of button wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
