Nice hunt Cal!  

Thanks for sharing your adventure. Gives us who are stuck home buried in snow a chance to go along on a hunt.

That was a great Video. I've been teetering back and forth on getting the big coil and after watching your hunt I ordered it lol. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us once again.

Thanks for watching.  To be honest the 15" coil doesn't feel like a 15" coil when you're swinging it.  I like that it's a 12"x15" and not a big round 15", I suspect that is why it's doing so well picking silver out of sea of nail environments. 

Good ground coverage and depth, and did I mention the silver bangs in pretty well with the 15" coil ?

Nice finds on the old spanish Trail Cal Cobra.... I have hunted it a few times in Nevada and California, and found some pretty good stuff. There is actually a guy I know in Pahrump, NV. that found a jar of old silver and gold coins buried alongside the old spanish trail...in the 1990's metal detecting. You guys have done pretty good at that spot... you stuck the cow in there also ... good one !!!

What a great hunt and a solid validation of the Equinox 15" coil. Great silver dimes, but I really enjoyed seeing the Henry rimfire shells.

I was very impressed at how well it sniffed out the silver dimes.   Several great hunters and top end machines have been through here before, so it's interesting that it was able to pick out three silvers from this stage stop.  I can't wait to try it at some of my other sites.

HI Dave,  A jar of gold and silver coins would be an incredible find!    Unfortunately it was pretty windy, but what I was trying to explain with the cow pee photo was that the hundreds of cows in this pasture are likely the cause of making the silver turn black as not too far from here we have another site, same dirt, and the coins and artifacts come out in beautiful condition.    I'd love to do more detecting on the Spanish trail, but I only get to that area once or twice a year at the most.
