1st field hunt with 800 scores pretty indian

[bootyhoundpa]

Took the 800 to my favorite iron patch field.. I’ve hunted the tar out of this place with every machine I’ve got and being new to the 800 I struggled a little bit but managed 2 flat buttons,a very nice 1874 Indian penny (probably the nicest I’ve ever dug). It was down in the clay which helped preserve it.. I also dug my share of thick iron objects,but all part of the learning process I guess..[attachment 365549 78871216-B714-4703-AA02-9D68BEB91A5F.jpeg][attachment 365550 87B1F112-538E-44D9-8872-4F19DB42122C.jpeg]

Thanks Mkus,funny you should say that as I did find an 1877 Indian penny and it was only about 20ft away from where I found this one ..that was a few years ago and it is also I nice shape but not quite as nice as this one..I still have it and would post pic but my Samsung crashed about 3 weeks ago taking my stored pics with it..I now have an apple 6. all these new electronics make this old head dizzy..lol.

Crisp detail it must have been pretty fresh when she was dropped. Congratulations on some great finds !!

I also got out for a freshwater hunt the week before micro jewelry hunting and did manage this little pendent..it might be gold,looks right but didn’t test it yet...[attachment 365555 D17AC91A-0EB3-474E-8BB3-209866B80B2F.jpeg]

Looked like it was lost the day it was minted. Great find.

The Nox really is a great machine a park I've been hunting surprises me it's been hunted hard but the nox keeps on finding silver there!

I’m not sure the Indian was the original signal I was chasing..there is just so much iron,hot rocks,and little bit’s of-whatnot ground into the soil from 200 years of habitation..even when I was in the cleaner part of the field the headphones sounded like a continuous Buddy Rich drum solo from all the iron grunts...I’ve got a lot to learn with this machine..
