Popular Post Cptbill Posted October 28, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2018 My son and I both own the Equinox 800 and used them on a unique opportunity to hunt a very old place in New England area. In one day of hunting we found 5 large cents with the oldest being 1803, another 1829 and the rest had no date. We also found 2 large flat buttons and one flat cuff button. In my 30 years of metal detecting this was one of the best days of hunting I had. The best part of the day of hunting was sharing the day with my son who found 3 of the large cents. We both love of Equinox 800 detectors. On a side note we went beach hunting the next day and both came up with a silver ring 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewcon4414 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Pretty impressive hunt. I like the large cents. If you clean them..... i found using mineral OIL on them will bring back a more natural color over the orange crusty look you sometimes get.... and preserve them well. I used it on FATTIES (IH) pennies too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gillespie Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Sharing the day with your son is by far the best. Even though the finds are great "I've only found one large cent in 20 years" the memories made for both you and your son are more precious. I tried many time to get my dad to go hunting with me, but he never did and now he's gone. Do it every chance you get. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveg Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Superb day, and SUPERB that you are sharing it with your son! Great digs, great hunt! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmason Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 very nice! Watching tv is usually a waste, but, on Pawn Stars they explained that a US penny is not. Rather it is a cent based on the decimal system...one percent of a dollar...sounds good to me. fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptbill Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 Hi Thanks for the replies. Hunting with my son was a great time and the excitement of finding coins that old was like adding frosting on a cake. The Equinox 800 is a great machine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptbill Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Phrunt your righti I can’t wait to get the new larger coin. I have the smaller coil but the ground is so hard here I am waiting for the first rain so I can go out and use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
