I DON'T SEE ANY "NOX" DIGGIN WHAT MY OBSOLETE MXT PRO DUG TODAY!!

Went relic hunting today with my "obsolete" MXT Pro and 10" coil on a site I've pounded in the past with several units. Musky, CZ6a, F19, Deus, CTX, FR, AT Pro, Impact, and maybe one or two I'm forgetting at the moment but none of them ever gave me a clue to dig this relic! I've dug sword swivels and Eagle buttons here, coins galore (shield nickel, injuns, largies, tokens, etc) as well as tons of suspender clips, toe taps, dress & coat buttons, reeds, shoe buckles, a 1850s/60s cinch buckle for a horse/saddle rig, and more

I ran relic mixed mode today (all metal and disc 2 tone running in unison) with gain nearly maxed and a slight threshold hummin away.

After diggin a few targets about 20 minutes in I got one of those classic soft, deep, smooth, round sounding hits that only an MXT user knows what I mean using mixed mode where it's a combo of that AM hit with a slight goose honk high tone from the disc side but very faint

I dug and dug and dug and almost gave up but it sounded way too good to just give up on and after about 10 minutes at ELBOW deep out popped one of the BEST relics I've ever dug! At 1st I thought it was just a plain Jane which I haven't dug one this size/big since the 1980s but once I got her home and cleaned up (rinsed and a light brushing with a soft brass brush) = that's when I knew I had something special! Just wish I didn't brush it now because the patina is uneven now

Pictures tell the story/the rest is history

Dang, Now that's a sweet looking bell. Very nice find. Gotta love that obsolete MXT Pro finding that obsolete old bell.

Just one more good target before I go.

Congrats. The bell is stunning. Relics like that amaze me.

Something about that MXT when the gain is in the red. Once a hunter knows how to listen running that way, amazing things happen.

Also proves just how potent relic mode is when running mixed mode.

Bazinga! Well done!

Like the suspender buckles, BUT THAT BELL IS INCREDIBLE

That bell almost looks like it's made of silver?

Congrats Wayne, man that's a hard relic to beat, going to look great in your man cave

Nice finds and a breath of fresh air by getting away from all these foreign made machines...made in America is Great Again.

American made does it again! Very Nice.

Wow the bell is amazing congrats

Nice finds there, that's the beauty of ploughed fields, they keep producing as the plough is a better unmasker than any detector!

Good God Wayne! Got to love the MXT. Excellent find my friend. A good MXT will always be part of my arsenal.

Great finds----and the bell is Awesome!!!! It dodged the plow all those years just waitin' for Big Wayne and his obsolete MXT !!

Thanks Keith! I never seen a bell with an eagle on it before but the centennial thing makes sense = it just has that 1870s patriotic look to it

Thanks Rover1

you nailed it - push that gain into the red in mixed mode, disc set at nail break and it's unbelievably deep!

Super nice bunch of finds! I love my MXT Pro!

Wayne all I can say is WOW what a awesome find!! Congrats buddy!!

Thank goodness we can put it to rest now. Its not the man or the field its the American made machine.
This should put an end to all the poop flinging in the monkey cage.
Frankly, it was starting to get a bit tiresome.
Outrageously awesome finds!
Must be time to dust off the TDI!
