In Memory Of
Trying to some straight up coin cherry picking settings on the Nox, only 3 numbers, 12-14, around nickels and like 24 and up on the rest.
Went to my local park down the block and hunted in areas I had hit uncountable times just looking to squeeze out a coin, any coin.
I got a nickel signal in a place I had hunted to death but never found much and was infested with iron and trash.
About 4-5" down I flip up a nickel sized coin and I was thrilled.
It was really dirty like nickels can get and I was happy to get any coin but I was hoping for a buff and not a newer Washington.
One side was totally wiped clean and I knew what that meant...only the V nics I have found did this to this extent.
I flipped it over and rubbed and sure enough I see the head of Lady Liberty and a 1911 date.
I think.
Any nickel I was able to notice in this trash heap would have been great, a buff would have been the best and I wasn't even thinking about anything older.
I love getting surprised in this hobby.
