Got My E-800 Back


Recommended Posts

Got my E-800 back from Minelab and hope the 3rd time is a charm. For anyone questioning Minelab customer service. DON'T!  Minelab customer service is 2nd to none.They fix or replace your detector in 2 days or less and I am certain that depends on their workload but both times my detector has been sent it they were sending it back the next day or day after. 

I am headed out for a cpl hours this morning wearing my new Equinox T-shirt and I am sure if other people detecting see me they will run when they see I swing an Equinox..LOL I was gone all week so only hunted one day with my 600 even though I like it I had my 800 tuned better and now I have to start from scratch with my 800. There really is very little difference other than the gold feature and a cpl other settings but I think psychologically I find more with the 800 but then again I have 130+ hours on the 800 and maybe 15 hours on the 600. 

Going to a heavily hunted area this morning that I know produces good finds. I just know not to expect much.  I have to get out of the house before the wife wakes up. Taking her to dinner today for Mothers Day so I want to get some hunting in before I take her to dinner.

I only hunted an hour this morning but found 10 dimes, 2 quarters and 2 pennies.. It was getting hot and humid really quick so I quit. It was 80 at 8:30 on it's way to 92 today. 

I am trying to refrain from using the pinpoint mode on the detector so I did the wiggle method on every target but one. The one I pinpointed was a solid 31 but it turned out to be a rusty chunk of iron. 

The 1st 1/2 hour I hunted without discriminating anything out just to see how well it separated targets and it did very well. The problem was way to much noise but the targets I did dig were easy to identify amongst all the junk. I finally deleted everything up to 12 and then everything from 15 to 18. 

I was hitting the dimes this morning at 23 -24 and only one at 26. 

The place I hunted had been hunted hard but parks always give up coins and rings no matter how hard they have been hunted.
