Been really putting the nox to the test for the last few weeks .I am hunting a site that has shallow coins Indians are 4 inch max and have never dug a coin past 5 inches here reason being is the dirt is very compact dense not loamy all targets are in the 1 to 4 inch range .so one would say it should be whipped out .
I am running iron bias at Fe2 at 0 recovery at 6 because everything is shallow park 1 5 tone the reason I use 5 tone instead of 50 is I can here the iron just fine with the coin also the crackle and the dreaded chop of the double high tone over a nail .
So I get this target a garble pile of crap double high tone with iron buzzing every where can't pinpoint anything depth reading says 2 inches swinging left to right 21 and 19 the other way well zincet or Indian I am thinking but it's double like a nail small nails seem to hit 21 to 19 all the time but when pinpoint they are long one way and coin like the other way .Coins on edge sound the same .
So I dig a 3 inch plug come up with a 3 inch nail da fooled again so I swing again same thing double high tone reading 19 to 20 pinpoint another target to the side of the hole a 2 inch nail da swing it again 19 to 20 still doubled pinpoint again now I am on the other side of the first plug dig a 3 inch plug throw it to the side to get the pin pointer out as I am putting it in the hole I see a silver rim sticking out of the plug da what the heck is that so I look at the plug carefully and see that the coin is only a 1 1/2 inch deep standing on edge and get this there's a 1/2 inch piece of nail directly above it a 53 Roosevelt dime now who would of thought a 21 to 19 would be a silver dime .
I also have hunted another site where I never find coins same set up coins are shallow reason why I never found anything there . But running the nox like I am first time there 6 wheat's 1 to 2 inches deep (WHAT) like I said aha moment. sube
