Hello everyone,
Well after testing her out in my yard with a bunch of test coins and jewelry, I finally got the chance to swing the Nox for real down here. I took the beast to a vacant homesite of a 1950’s home that was destroyed by Hurricane Charley in 2004. The lot sits across the street from a church that dates back to the 1890’s and I have hunted it hard with the MXT with nothing to show except for some modern clad.
As it turns out, as suspected, the MXT missed a few things. I found even more modern clad along with 6 wheaties and 2 silver D-day commemorative coins...1 Franc and 1 Us Dollar. Two of the wheaties were around 10 inches deep and the rest were around the 7 inch range, one is a 1936 and the other 1929. The commemorative coins were in the same hole at around 8 inches and still in the original packaging, however it was very brittle and torn up. Thanks to the breach in their package, the coins came out a little black but still cool nonetheless. The last pic shows them in the hole in their plastic package. I did clean the clad coins in prep for their stay in the I’m gonna turn you in someday jars.
I must say, this thing hits targets wayyyy deeper and with more accuracy than the MXT300. If it rings up as a coin, it was 95% of the time correct. I was hunting Park 2 mode with the sensitivity up around 22, noise cancelled and ground balanced as well. The area is quite trashy due to the past hurricanes but the NOX seems to do very well picking through it.
So far I am quite impressed with this machine and now I have my work cut out for me! I better get out to all of my previous hunt locations and swing again for targets that I’m sure I had missed with the MXT.
Enjoy and happy hunting!!
