    I just got my Nox 900 - pulled out an 1861 copper yesterday with the 6" coil. I did dig a lot of rosehead and square nails. To help with clearing the hole of these a screwed 3 round rare earth magnets on the end of a plastic tent peg. It is amazing how his simple tool will pull iron out of deep loose soil, mud, water. Saves a lot of time rooting around trying to find something. You can usually feel and hear the click when a nail locks on to a magnet.

    In a total of 7 hunts with my new 900 I have pulled 99.22 in mostly clad 2 silver Rosies and 8 wheaties . last trip I didn't dig 1 single pull tab but 12.86 in coins including 3 wheats but 0 silver . I use mainly my 6" coil because of alot of trash and it just works great at this site. I'm glad I chose the 900 over the manticore so far

    Great video Scott, you do less talking and more hunting and I like that. I've only used my 6" coil on one hunt, it worked out well, found a bunch of coins, however it was at an open field and with the lack of coverage available on the 6"... I intend to hit it again when my 15" arrives... I keep my gloves inside my finds bag so that way I won't forget them... lol Happy Hunting!!

    At the 21:38 minute mark when you had the 90’s signal. I’m pretty sure that when you scraped off the area it was about 10” to the right of the original 90’s target. I watched it several times. You need to go back to that spot.

  • @princeali1786
    @princeali1786 Před rokem

    This machine hits in the high 90’s so often and when I dig down it turns out to be false signal and if I scan the hole again, I hear absolutely NOTHING IN REGARDS TO ANY SIGNALS AT ALL. The other is that the high 90’s disappears and the vdi numbers are replaced with lower numbers. Never to get that 90’s numbers back again no matter how many times I swing over the alleged target. Sensitivity is moderate never jacked up and everything other setting is factory in
    Park 1 mode. It also does it in other modes as well.
    I regret getting this machine and should have simply kept my 800 which is a awesome machine.

    • @MentalMetal
      @MentalMetal  Před 8 měsíci

      If you already had the Nox 800, all the coils will work w/the 900. If you have waterproof headphones for the Nox, then you won't need to buy them for the 900. The WS6 Master, while performs as good as the Deus 2 w/remote, you won't have a speaker, and the WS6 master is not waterproof. While I like the Deus in general, I think you are getting more for your money w/the 900.

  • @stinkasscat
    @stinkasscat Před rokem

    Great video! I noticed on several of your test bed coins, the vdi was displaying 96-98 range. Ive noticed that deeper targets will ring up in this range and I have to go more by sound. When I dig the target up, it will be a totally different number. Like a 70 on the vdi zinc penny. Do you have any thoughts on this?

    • @MentalMetal
      @MentalMetal  Před rokem +1

      the deeper the targets the VDI is impacted and will change so you should go by sound and listen for those whispers but not go by VDI under those circumstances.
