Sweet find!
You know you're doing something right when you start measuring gold finds in ounces! What a find!!!!
Thanks everyone!
Thanks Skippy, I keep the cuff strap strapped down at all times. Maybe I need to tighten it up a bit more to put more pressure on the upper portion? I never had this issue with my excal... I think excal's is a bit more reinforced. I was considering switching to an Anderson metal cuff, however, as long as the warranty's valid might as well use it.
I do hunt in really strong currents and surf... I've probably put this machine and the cuff to it's limits quite a few times. Strange thing is it broke on a dead flat day with no current. I was digging another rusted bottle cap after finding the gold chain and barely put any pressure on it when it snapped.

I might go ahead and order one from Anderson, just as a backup. Or rather I'll keep the Minelab cuff as the backup.
Thanks again!

I just did an air test with the gold chain.. it's weird, if I lay it stretched all the way out there's no signal whatsoever from any height, however, if I ball the chain up I get a broken up signal that bounces from a 1 to an 18 on Nox. Very similar to a rusted bottle cap, just with a higher bounce range.
This is the first chain I've found without a pendant... I wonder if an excal or another machine would have received a hit? It's not as if it's a small chain... so I'm assuming they would. I also wonder how many people walked right over this thinking it was trash by the odd numbers or didn't even get a hit if it was stretched out when they happen to swing their coil over it... a lot of variables have to align to get a signal on a target like this.
All I know is moving forward, no matter how broken up the signal is, if it's under a 21, I'm digging it.

I have tested a lot of gold chains. Nox may pick some up a hair better. But not by much. Scary thing is was i tested a whole bunch of lunker gold class rings. CTX they will hit a tad lower than a zinc penny. On the NOX they were hitting perfect zinc numbers.
