Took Deus II And Equinox For A Walk At The Park And Struck Gold

[Againstmywill]

I was able to get out a couple times this weekend to a local soccer complex. I stayed on the sidelines and in the shaded areas. I took the Deus II with the 11" on Saturday and was able to find 121 coins in 3 hours. There were 29 quarters and 29 dimes along with mostly pennies. I have hit this place many times before with the Equinox 800, so I was a bit surprised by the number of high conductors that sounded through the machine gun sounds of bottle caps and pull tabs. I ran the fast program with a few changes. The black ring that came from behind tall netting that stops balls from going into the water, is stainless. The pendant was right in front of a team bench; there were many targets under the coil, but the 72 ID was unwaivering. The other ring is aluminum.

Today, I took the Equinox out for old times sake with the 15" coil. I wanted to cover some ground and focus on numbers between 5-12. The gold helmet, the second one I have found (the first was also at this park by the basketball area), rang up a steady 8. I was in Park 1 with the horseshoe engaged and 7 recovery speed.

Great saves on all the finds.

Good luck on your next outing.

Great spot to hunt. Nice gold & silver. The silver pendant looks old.

I think your post shows how many of us are a bit surprised that the Equinoxes we have run for years now still missed stuff.

I remember the White's guys used to think that they had cleaned out all of the parks.  Then came the Explorer.  Same thing.  Then came the Etrac.  Same thing.  And finally the Equinox.  Yet the Deus II and Manticore  are proving that there will always be good stuff to find.
