I received my new NOX 6" coil today. And of course I had to try it out ASAP. I figured I go to a local park that has been taken off life support for some time to test it out. This post is not about quantity of finds but about results.
I picked out the most trashiest areas, such as the picnic benches and nearby parking lot island areas. All these area have been repeatedly detected by me and others in the past.
I was much impressed by the results. Found like $5.00 in clad in three hours. And one wheat cent.
Here are some of my takeaways about the coil:
1) Very light, balanced and easy to swing
2) I was finding and digging more pennies than usual
3) The VDI numbers did not jump around as much compared to stock coil
4) Very easy to pinpoint
5) General depth of most finds today were about 4"-6", but some were less
6) It unmasks coins very well especially around can slaw and some iron rust
7) A 2001 Canadian dime gave a VDI of 2 (interesting)
8) Swinging coil slowly improved results
In short, I am glad I got it!
