gold chain with the nox 800

Nice hunt congrats. Gold is always a good find.

Congrats! That is awesome!

I have yet to dig anything gold. It's always been foil in the gold range for me! [emoji1]

Fi-ga-ro! Fi-ga-ro! Fi-ga-ro!

Bravo [emoji122]!

Bet the lawnmower dispersed the rest of it, I would grid the whole area, the rest very well could be there. Who knows, maybe a pendant too. Congrats!

That’s a sweet score there, not an easy or either! Congrats!

I used to solely use a Compadre, and I never feared missing gold. Today I mostly use my Nox. I’ve turned into a “high tones drifter” when dirt hunting and man, not the way to go if you want the gold.

Last dirt precious metal found by my Nox was a solid 7 ID, platinum ring, from a park I was exclusively hunting for gold jewelry.

It would be hard to beat a Compadre for park gold.

I was looking at US gold coins and the Nox, saw a chart that showed them ID’ing in ranges I wouldn’t normally dig (16 and 18)

US Gold $1 (1853 Type 1) VDI 12
US Gold $1 (1874 Type 3) VDI 11
US Gold $2.50 (1907) VDI 16
US Gold $5.00 (1901) VDI 18
US Gold $10.00 (1903) VDI 21

And I tested a few gold rings (found by my Compadres) and the ranges are wide!

As Mud says, gold is a cruel mistress!

Nice work , congrats !
