Got a nice long hunt in today at my most productive park. I'm starting to get comfortable with the Nox. Today I hit the most nickels I've ever dug in one hunt...16 including 2 buffs. In my ground modern pulltabs come in at 13/14 whereas nickels come in at 12/13. I did notice that a clipped modern tab will also ring in at 12/13. The 2 buffalos came in at 11/12. Also got 3 wheaties. Deepest coin was around 8" and had good ID. The areas I hit today have been hit by me many times before with my F70 and my tesoros. I did get approximately 65 cent in clad out of one area that I had never detected before. Did find some junk jewelry and pendants, but no silver or gold. Was really hoping for a ring, but it didn't happen:no: Here's some pics of the clad and all the junk. Oh, I also got a Swiss 10 rappen coin.

Nice Hunt !!! I have heard the Nox was a great nickle machine and you certainly proved that. Thanks for showing your junk pile. Congrats on all your finds.
 
It hits those mid tones HARD. I had to notch them out yesterday hunting a school yard because the eraser tops were in that same range.

When I said nickels hit at 12/ 13. What I really should have said was that the numbers bounced evenly between 12 an 13 on most anyways. I don't think I had one nickel come in at a solid 13.
 
Nice cache of nickles. I've got a gumball machine that will take those nickles if you don't want them.:yes: You will find the ring on the next outing.
 
Waiting for the UPS truck, my Nox 600will be here today. What program were you running? Yes, I'm anxious to get my new toy. Congrats on a great hunt.

Mostly park2. If I got in a REALLY trashy area I upped the recovery to 7 or 8. I did run field2 for a short time and will be running it more as it seems to hit coins hard and seemed a little quieter than park2. I mostly keep the sense at 20, but did bump it up to 21-23 at times. I'm still very young on this machine and doing some experimenting.
 
That's a nice looking hunt. I love the old nickels.
