Nice vid. Thanks for putting it up. 

One thing I saw on there was him getting a bit of lead shot.  I haven't watched too many vids but have been reading lots of threads and haven't seen much written about people picking up shot. These are not necessarily questions for you Randy but...

I assume different sized shot will bring up a different TID?  I would have thought they would show up around the 2 or 3 mark the same as small gold?  

Due to their roundness (usually) are they locking onto their number quite well or jumpy?  

Thanks

JW - are you picking up some of that 'pesky' lead shot with the Nox?

The smaller the gold you are after the smaller the lead you can detect with Equinox. Birdshot is easily detectable if you set the machine up hot enough to detect it. You can also not detect it but give up gold that reads the same.

The last place I looked for gold I found many missed shots that were 8's and smaller but no missed nuggets.  I wanted one of those little things to be a nugget.  Those targets are hard to pinpoint and get in the scoop and sometimes they roll out or get blown out by the wind and you have to hunt them again.
