Gerry in Idaho Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Was swinging the EQ-800 the other day and hit this nice specimen. I realize all the love is for the new GPX-6000, but come on, the reality is most folks can't afford it. There is still plenty people having fun with the VLF's.

mn90403 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Many, many pounds of gold have been found before the 6000 has come out and many, many tons of gold have been found before any detector came out. We can still have fun with what we've got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Ben Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Great nugget, lots of character!! I have started using my equinox to find gold. I think the gold I've found registered from a 6 to 11 on the EQ. Gerry what range has your gold been with the Equinox? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realize the amount of mineralized soil around will affect ID. The depth of a nugget can affect the ID. The kind of hotrock on top or near a nugget can affect the ID. The density of gold can affect the ID. The old saying is true to this day. If you never want to miss gold, then dig it all. Even though I don't always do that, but it is true.

I used the stock coil last week as a customer wanted to purchase my 10" Ellip coil and so I felt keeping a customer happy is most important. So I don't have one right now. I'll get another order down the road, just not sure when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
