    Nox 600 Hits Nails!

    I am flustered with the Nox 600. I hit a fresh water beach yesterday and nails were hitting high teens to high 20's and everything in between. I was using park 1 FE 3 and the new F2 setting of 3. I ground balanced. It was very disappointing. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I had my sensitivity...

    IDENTIFING PULL TAB AGE

    Control Panel Pops Off From The Grip

    I haven't seen anyone else post this issue, if it is an issue. The past few days, I have noticed that the LCD/Control Panel, will pop off when I go to pick the Detector up by the grip. The web of my hand only puts mild pressure on the control panel, at the grip where the Screen attachs. All the...

    Is this a Platinum Nugget?

    I was out metal detecting today for gold nuggets on the Fraser River. I cam across this in bedrock. Its very heavy at 9.85 grams. I am having a hard time trying to figure out if its platinum or not. I put it in peroxide and it produces very lazy bubbles. Nothing spectacular, but does bubble. I...

    Discrimination Settings

    Hi all. I have a special edition goldbug that is version 2.9. I am wondering what settings people have on discrimination when hunting relatively new fields.

    BEST/Practical FINDS POUCH

    Hi all. I was recently viewing Kellyco's website for a finds pouch. This may seem like an easy choice to make when choosing one, but I have no doubt that detectorists out there have some great ideas on the best and most functional one out there. Garrett makes one as well as some of the other...

    Loonies and Pennies

    Since I got back my re-calibrated GB SE, I have noticed a marked increase in the number of pennies and loonies that I have found. I am not sure how others detect grassy fields that are relatively new, but I choose to set my Disc to 75 and the Gain to about 10AM. My logic is this, rather then dig...

    Gopher Holes

    I am told that ravens collect shiny items in their nests, but what about gophers? We have a tonne of gophers and I am curious if anyone here has found a stash of coins in their holes? Back at a golf course in my home town, the squirrels would hide the golfballs in their cache and I recall...
