Popular Post Wendell Clark Posted March 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2018 I went to a pounded desert site today near where I live. I ran field 2 with no changes. 2 Buffs, thats it for coins. They bounced consistenly between 12-13.The other targets sounded good but....... I must have dug 20 brass rivets, I would have sworn they were a penny! Dug my share of BENT rusty nails today also, the horseshoe button did not always clue me in but they were very deep. I am finding I like both park and field 2 better than their 1 counterparts. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skate Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Nice job on the buffs. I’ve yet to ever find one which is amazing given how long I’ve been detecting. It’s my white whale. Congrats!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bado1 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Nice! I've not found a Buff either . Yes, the Equinox, just like the E-TRAC, loves deep, crusty, bent nails. Man, they sound good! When they come out of the hole you think, "That can't be the target"! Dean 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal_Cobra Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 The EQ loves nickels doesn't it. I noticed that crusty bent nails are more abound when using Field2 vs FIeld1. That said, I think I like FIeld2 better so far, just seems like I get better depth and make more finds using Field2, but I have a lot to learn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabin Fever Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Nice Buffs! That 16 looks like it has a lot of detail left on it.. Any mint marks? Looks like a possible 1914 on the left? All the 14s are good dates but the D is real good one.. 1916 S and D are pretty good too.. Bryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Equinox nail falsing reminds me a lot of both the E-Trac and CTX.. It’s much easier to separate the coins next to the nails with the Equinox though.. The higher sensitivities will really bring the nails alive.. The Equinox runs so quietly at the higher sensitivity you don’t realize it except for the nail falsing.. I know they are different detectors and technologies but I realized that I am running my Equinox at around 80% of full power where I can only run my FBS Detectors around 65% of full power without the detector going nuts and falsing off everything.. Im not directing this at you Dean because as an E-Trac user you probably already know this, but if any of you guys are having trouble digging too many nails, there are a few thing to help cut that down.. Check all high tones from two directions.. use pinpoint to check signal shape in two or more directions.. Turn down your sensitivity.. get an accurate ground balance.. If you just dig signals that beep good in two directions you will cut out most of your nail digs.. When you get more familiar with the Equinox you can start playing with the iffy signals next to iron and it will pay off.. Bryan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
