It's been about 9 months since I signed in or posted. I've been lazy about posting. I recently upgraded to the Nox 800 and yesterday was my 4th day using it. Switching from the AT Pro to the Nox 800 has been a piece of cake. I've pulled silver each day I've used the 800 so far. I did a morning hunt and an afternoon hunt.

The morning hunt didn't yield much and it was short. I managed to pull this big name plate. I usually dig all targets in quiet areas.

In the afternoon i went to a park where I've found a 1800s coins in the past. I've hit it multiple times with the ATP but i can't say I covered every inch.

My first good target was this ring really close to the base of a young tree. The stone was already out when I found it in the plug. I attempted to sift around to find it but no luck.

Continuing on swinging, I found myself at a big tree with a lot of broken branches around it. I got this amazing sounding tone around 33VDI, I didn't think about it, I pinpointed and dug the plug. My first Seated Half. I had to pinch myself to make sure I was alive and not in MD heaven hahaha.

That seated is freakin cool good hunt I was wondering where you were I love that avatar Merry Christmas good hunt
 

most likely the stone in the ring was a black onyx, possibly center drilled with an accent diamond or a monogram initial added. Excellent finds. Congrats on the half, that's awesome.
 

Congrats Louis! You are on an incredible start/streak with your Nox. That Half is going to be tough to beat. We’ve had some fun hunts this year, thanks for the invites and good to see a post finally...
 

Now you're asking yourself, why did I wait so long to make the switch? Congrats on that big seated. I've never even dug a seated quarter!
 

That’s a beautiful Seated half, congrats on your first!
 

Wow,great coin!! I need one of those suckers
 

Dream coin for me congrats
 

Sweet Seated- Congrats! From my not-too-extensive experience, you're going to love the Nox. Continued GL!
 

Congratulations on the half dollar, Metal Headz. I personally was more interested in the tag you found
 

Daaaang, nice find. Bustin the detector out tomorrow after seeing this. 54 degrees. Rather be ice fishing but take what you can!
 

HOLY COW! Look at that giant, beautiful hunk of seated silver!!! AAAAnd- other great finds! Congratulations!!
