Crushed Powder Flask, 1917 Dog Tag, Homemade Copper Boot Heel Cleat

[Eastender]

After using the Nox 800 for nearly 3 years and now getting some time in on the new Nox 900, I would generalize by saying the new machine is roughly 25% better across the board in terms of sensitivity, depth, and EMI rejection. Tough to quantify and qualify but that's my gut feeling. For example, I was just in a site that has a short older cell tower. It would force me back the Nox 800 sens down to 16 to stop the chatter. The Nox 900 is able to run at 23 sens. Rescanning the area with the 900 is picking up deeper and smaller targets the 800 missed. And this improvement is what one would expect after years of additional R&D and another grand of my money. I feel it is worth the investment. The ergonomic improvements were not so noticeable to me as I upgraded the 800 shaft to Steve's Detector Rods fine carbon fiber model.

The area I'm detecting has a sparse colonial layer from farm families (small plot with a handful of late 1700's headstones) with a Native American base (wetlands and shellfish nearby). My impression, judging from the debris and wire fencing I see, is that this farm peaked during the WWI to Depression Era. Nearly impossible to squeeze a coin out of this area. Finding a 1917 dog tag validated some suspicions. New York State began dog licensing in 1894. Strange to see "Dog Tax." Can't help but think of someone complaining "things are so bad, they are even taxing my poor ole dog."

I also found a weathered $20 bill and $1.86 of clad.

The $20 is a pretty great reward, but it also seems that the 900 has proved to be a worthy upgrade and will probably provide a pretty good return on your investment- nice post!

Congrats on your finds
As a recent purchaser of the Nox 900 I like reading your feedback on it's performance in the field.
Still trying to get adapted to using my 900, as I am water hunter and used to my Excalibur's.
Land hunting is totally differrent
