  1. It's one of those days that I had to go to Plan B. Last minute plans for some detecting with a friend at an old ghost town fell thru. So, I decided to play catch up on some shallow water ring hunting I missed out on last year due to moving. The last several years, I've been scouting places to hunt for lost Jewelry, specifically, rings. Taking a page out of Mike Hillis' post on Inland Jewelry Hunting Tips here on detector prospector, I've been making changes. Some great info there. The last few years it has been paying off for me. Compared to previous years, my ring count is way up.Arriving onsite, the place still looked promising. Once geared up, i walked the shore and picked a place to start. Moments later, first target - a solid 16 on the EQ800 target ID. Some difficult digging in the rocks and the signal is out of the hole. And there is a men's black tungsten carbide ring with a center insert that looked like wood under epoxy. I was hoping it was going to be a good day. And it was. More hunting; some pull tabs, some square tabs, some fishing lures, a couple gold rings, a .925 silver bracelet. a couple more 'other' rings and two hours later, I was out of area I could hunt with the gear I brought. Looking in my finds pouch I see 5 rings, 2 of which are gold, a 3rd is a maybe and the last 2 are definitely NOT made of precious metal. After arriving at home, the magnet test shows the unmarked white gold looking ring responds very faintly to a super magnet. Rats. First water hunt of the year yields 2 gold rings (1 marked with a very worn 14k, the other unmarked) and 3 others, 1 Mex .925 silver bracelet, and a finds pouch with miscellaneous junk / garbage found where people meet water. While I missed out on having a go at an old ghost town, it was nice to turn up a couple of gold rings and a silver bracelet to get the shallow water year started.

  2. Another beautiful day here, what a week so far. Every day is getting warmer. Today I put my water shoes on, got my CooB scoop and Limbsaver detector sling and hit the beach early with the Equinox. I went to the fishing beach again because I really haven't done all this and it was better to try it out in a place with fewer people. The main beach is loaded by 9 AM. Hit those odd piles in the sand again, found nothing but crusty Zincolns so I moved down to the water. That area must be a place where detectorists dump junk coins or something. ๐Ÿค” Wasn't disappointed for long, one quarter, my first Jefferson nickel ever, and a beautiful 1967 penny, along with the 2014 penny that must have been recently dropped. The '67 was DEEP. I found the coin line and those 4 popped right up, one after another. Sad that the streak didn't continue. Using the scoop was pretty cool, the sling kept me from picking my detector up all the time. Dig and sweep. It was especially great near the water because I didn't care if the hole filled up with water. What made it even more interesting was dealing with these: Virtual mini tsunami when they pass. All the water disappears and then the 5 foot wake comes in. Fun. Carrying the scoop wasn't bad either, it weighs about 3 pounds, half what the M16 I used to carry weighed. At one point I thought I wasn't going to find anything else, I turned inland to avoid some fishermen, and bam. Got a solid 6. Y'all gave me such great advice, I dug that sucker and got me a nice Tungsten ring. Fits perfectly. Thanks! I hope to find my wife something nice tomorrow.

  3. The 6000 does what the 5000 can do depth wise on larger gold even slightly better, but whatโ€™s the point of providing it that way to the market when there is already something much better out there for that purpose in the form of the 7000? Hence the 17โ€ elliptical coil rather than say an 18โ€ round monoloop. A 17โ€ elliptical will be a very good coverage coil for prospecting purposes with pretty good depth on larger pieces, but it is not about outright depth, you have ZVT for that. The GPX 6000 with the largest coil you care too put on can never attain the depth of the 7000 with its standard coil!! Having a lightweight coil with 17 inches of coverage with the sensitivity to snag a 0.01 gm piece is nigh on diabolical, this concept will take shape once operators get their hands on them. Ergonomically the 6000 is brilliant with the supplied standard 11โ€ mono coil, that coil size is perfect for one handed operation with nil support devices unless you are unused to detecting. The standard 11โ€ coil has the ability, if you care to invest the energy, to find tiny pieces right down to the โ€˜wet your finger to pick it upโ€™ GM 1000 level!! So this then begs the question, what is the GPX 6000 good for? I very quickly learned to target a specific type of environment to maximise the 6000 benefits. The first and key approach was to target old areas were Iโ€™d previously found multiple targets within 100mm of the surface, in almost all cases I tend to stick to ground where bedrock is visible and work out from there but mainly sticking to ground up to or around the 12โ€ mark as the targets the 6000 is VERY good at reside at less than those depths (inverse square law). Hot ground is not a problem (usually the shallow gravels are more mineralised as the top layer has been washed or blown away), If the ground becomes problematic due to conductive signals or salt signals or EMI then I revert to the DD coil and use that option (truly amazing sensitivity to tiny surface targets using the DD), I will however tend to stick to ground less than 10 inches as the depth is less with the DD relative to target size. The bulk of the gold I find with the 6000 is in the sub gram range but I have hit on some pretty decent stuff whilst out and about thanks to the good outright depth of the tech, this is reassuring as often decent targets are found due to time spent and the ground covered during that time, so its nice to know if you get your coil over a decent nugget or speci at depth then your in with a chance. The 6000 is not a tiny gold only detector, but operators can only swing one detector at a time, there will be a cross over on some target sizes between the various techs (SDC and GPZ), however what it does do it does exceptionally well as such there will be a pretty decent range of targets that it outperforms everything on. It is nice to know while your taking advantage of the tech behind the GPX it can still compete with its predecessors and also the modern big guns. JP

  6. Can't tell the date. Was using the Equinox 800 in Gold 1. This is the first Buffalo Nickel I found that could tell what the date was. In my regular ground, the ground balance is around 10. Ground balance on the wet beach on lake was 68.

  7. I had something similar happen in the heat of a Florida summer a few years ago. I had a full protective cover over the control box. After I removed it, the EQX cooled down and returned to normal. Since then, I cut the back out of the cover to expose the vents in the back of the control box and haven't had a problem since....and all my hunting is in Florida year round.

  8. While taking in what you have stated, I see that you forgot to take into account of the flux capacitor north of I95. While all the things you stated are true the said part will easily compensate for any variations as it can go either forward in time or back in time so nobody sees all the holes you dug without finding anything of value. So I can only give an estimate on how well it would work, and that would be better than some old units that are still out there. Remember the flux capacitor can change world.

  12. Well, if you have an audience, the Mackarana is appropriate!๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚ Seriously though, I just put any good stuff in the pouch, as if it were a crappy zincoln, or trash! (same thing)! I keep a pretty good poker face on a crowded beach! You never know if someone that sees what you just found will say they just lost it! And than chaos insues! Sad, but it can happen! You will also get people that genuinely lost something, and will ask if you can find it! That's a personal choice, if you have the time to do so! But if you do help, make sure they give you a detailed description of the lost item, so if you find something else in the process, they can't claim it's their's also, if they follow you! If not, you can get basic information, and a phone number and call them if you find it! Most detectorists avoid crowded beaches for many reasons! It's not a bad thing! But when your traveling, or trying to catch a tide cycle that's in the middle of the day, sometimes you just have to put up with all the distractions that go with it! Night detecting is a great way to avoid the heat and crowds! With a nice moon, or headlamp, it is very relaxing! But a little more risky if you hunt alone! Also, some beaches have night time closing hours! This got a little longer than I intended; and there's always more! But I wanted to give you a few more scenarios, now that you are a "Bonafide Beach Jewlery Finder"! ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ PS- Nice rig and cart!! And "Thank You For Your Service"๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ—ฝโš”

  13. Went early today to the larger beach. Another beautiful day, even the water was tolerable. Low tide is strange here, you go from having about 50 feet of beach to over 200. It's difficult to read but thanks to advice I've been getting from y'all I did great, at least for me and the 4 hours I was out. I searched along the tidal pools for a while, walked about a mile. Didn't find much of anything, not even an iron grunt until I found a couple of coins and this metal anvil. I assume it's for making jewelry. Shown with the ring I dug yesterday for size: Ran into a guy swinging an Equinox like a golf club, thought of getting a video, it was comical. Exchanged pleasantries and moved on. Only detector I saw all morning. Did a little more beach reading, some advice I got was to go knee to waist deep in the water, but the tide was so far out from where it normally is it didn't seem worth it, so instead coming back I aligned myself at knee to waist level to high tide. Here is a photo taken from where low tide was: Here is a shot showing the slope and where I found the coin line: The umbrella is at high tide. Hit the coin line! Did pretty good for a novice in only about 1/2 mile: 1970 Mexican Cinquenta Centavos piece, (fitty cent), 4 relatively new clad quarters, Jeff nickel, dime, and a memorial. Most money I found so far. Copper bracelet and a Stainless spinner ring. Best find of the day and hence the title: Little gold wave ring. ID'd at 1. Not sure if it's solid gold but it's certainly 24k plated, really waxy feel. No marks. My wife loves it. Found it leaving at the entrance. She took the spinner too. ๐Ÿ˜€ Here's my take on that - People get to the beach and are so glad to be here they run and drop all their stuff. I found the bracelet and both rings near the beach entrance along with the Mexican coin and the Jefferson. By then there were so many people in the beach it was time to go. Tomorrow I'm hitting the areas early where everyone sets up . ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

  14. Hello from the Bay Area. I'm glad I found this site. Looks like a wealth of knowledge and experience, not to mention the great amount of information available here. I've been prospecting and metal detecting for a couple years, so I'm still deep in the learning phase of my hobby. I'll be getting a new Gold Monster 1000, so I'll pay close attention to the articles and forum threads I run across on the topic.

  15. Most of the gold I found was in the 1-9 range. That is where he tiny stamped gold charms are, along with crosses, studs, and some small ladies rings. Broken band small rings read there also, along with most small linked gold chains. Above those numbers and you are in the normal ring range. Everyone wants that 1/2 ounce ring, but there are a lot of chains and small gold out there lost over the years.

  17. Yep used to do a lot from my boat in the Potomac river, then changed to surf casting when I switched to an RV. We camp almost exclusively at beach campgrounds. It's easier to clean finds than fish! When I think of all the stuff I could have found on the beach the last 15 years or so... ๐Ÿคฃ I've only been metal detecting for 8 months now.

  18. Finally got out again this afternoon. Beautiful warm day, great weather here. Went north on this beach today, didn't think I'd find much. Only went about 1/2 mile. Ended up with 2 more quarters, two dimes, and 6 ridiculously salt-crusted and corroded Zincolns, and an odd piece of soft metal that was a 15 ID. It unfolded easily. Junk take was pretty big, lots of sinkers. It's a REALLY clean beach, you know it when you found something. Found these odd storm wash piles that kept producing the encrusted pennies. I'll probably hit them again tomorrow.

  22. Thanks! Found it on eBay for 24.99, but it works for me - it's flawless. I'm really stoked with all the great advice I've got from this forum. Every day I go out I find something that at least makes the effort worthwhile. That 1967 penny was shocking. When I was doing a lot of fishing, being asked "catch anything?" multiple times was kinda trifling, but I never expected the amount of people that would stop me metal detecting. ๐Ÿคช It's nice to be able to say "Every time I do this!" ๐Ÿ˜€ Hitting the main swimming beach tomorrow. I think I'm ready for it. There is another HUGE one down the road, but so many go there it would be tough to get anywhere. I've been coming to this island for 15 years now and I have never seen so many people.

  23. When I set my AQ volume to 0 ...there is no sound. When increasing to 1 a target is heard. As you keep increasing the volume it increases as it should. The maximum is 9+. At this point it is very loud. I would say with a quiet ambient surrounding, 4 or 5 is pleasant to the ears. I'm a little deaf, (too much time at the trap range) so a 7 / preset is roughly what I use. Wind and crashing waves a little more. The threshold also has its own separate volume.

  24. Great view of the beach! I have a box for each beach that I keep all the junk finds. I save it just in case there are rumblings that detecting may be banned from a beach. That way I have a show and tell ready to show the benefits of detecting at a town meeting. One look at rusty fishing hooks and pointed, rusty nails and maybe that can make or break the deal. Plus, lead and copper/brass have some good value as scrap. That soft metal may be part of a flattened ring - Aluminum or silver?

  25. Nice! 1998 more trips the equipment will be all paid off! That is a pretty flat beach. You try hitting the areas where people cast from and towel lines? Doesn't look like it has a lot of erosion. If there is any you may want to look for pebbles and change of sand, maybe where it is packed more. I think coins tend to sit higher up the bank and heaver stuff lags behind. Aluminum seems to be a sign your too far up. At least that is what it seems to work out here.

  26. Think it's with coil covers. But even just ballparking weight comparisons, the 14"DD (and to a degree the 17" mono) appear to make the machine as heavy as a 5000, a machine which notably is not considered a "light" machine and hence my confusion about why the 6000 is considered light or doesn't need a bungee. I never met anyone in the field who was swinging the 5000 without a bungee, other than patch cleaning where one stayed in the same place and set the machine down often, or using stuff like Sadie's. So I'm not understanding why everyone seems to think it's now lightweight to swing the same weight on the 6000 with the 14DD? This type of question can be subjective though, maybe ergonomics are that much better, and is best answered by actual use in field reports by experienced detectorists who've also spent a lot of time swinging a GPZ and 5000 in order to have a reference frame to report upon. For those who simply want/need a smaller coil in the 11" mono, or those who don't already own a GPZ I can see the point of purchasing without knowing these things I listed earlier. But for me, I need to know before dropping 6k, and since I don't care about the 11" mono (I already own smaller GPZ coils), I remain unconvinced the claims of lighter weight have any relevance to me. But performance wise, I'd be stupid to ignore anything that gives me power I can put to use profitably that I don't currently have, so I am still paying attention to the 6000 even if I'm not in the pre-order gang, hence my frustration that ML won't seem to allow any real field reporting from actual prospectors who's opinions I would value.

  28. I did have an 800 give up the ghost last summer on the beach, during a hunt! Sent it in under warranty and they replaced it with a new pod! Like has been said previously, if it's too hot for you, it's probably too hot for your Equinox! The black cover most likely contributed! Ebay sells rubber bumpers in multiple colors for the vulnerable edges of the pod! And with a screen cover, that should offer enough protection, hopefully without overheating! I don't know if any other detectors have had this issue! But I think the size of the pods now, with so little room inside, give little protection from outside temperatures! Also the use of the black thermoplastic for the case doesn't help! It just compounds thermal absorption! Mine is getting a lighter color paintjob, after the warranty is up! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

  29. I have had two Equinox 800s overheat, one was in the desert on a very hot day and I had a Doc's full control module cover on it..........it was too hot for me and I should have known better. The other time was like another person here mentioned. I left it on the ground for a while in direct sunlight on a really hot day and the same thing happened. I still own both of them and they work fine, so no permanent damage. If you are having trouble seeing the screen wearing polarized sunglasses, just turn the backlight on its lowest setting......problem solved.

  33. 4-1-21, EL PASO, TX. - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE- Consolidating the former "Big Three" of metal detecting (Fisher, Garrett, and remnants of White's Electronics) into one cohesive engineering force, the United States manufacturers are aiming to put themselves back on the map with a brand new detecting technology. With Minelab leading technological developments in metal detecting for the past two decades, U.S. companies have struggled to meet the performance benchmarks set by the Australian company. In recent years we have even seen companies that in the past, took the crown of metal detecting, be pushed aside as they were run into the ground by poor leadership or unmanaged engineers who struggled to complete projects. Sources say that this strategic alliance was formed sometime in 2015, when the GPZ 7000 was released and it became clear that Minelab threatened to dominate the world detecting market. Luckily these companies had such great foresight to meet that challenge. "We're really excited to share this technology with the world," said engineering manager Gerhard Fischar. "This new platform has the potential to revolutionize metal detecting for customers across the planet." The new patents show that this unique process involves feeding two oscillators through a low pass filter. This signal is then transmitted into the ground through a coil, which is able to pick up shifts in one oscillator, creating an audible tone for the treasure hunter. Recent FCC filings have revealed some detailed photos, drawings, and specs which follow below. Main circuit board photo, showing sophisticated layout of major components and groundbreaking design: Mechanical design, featuring organically-sourced components and easy-to-operate controls: Detail photo of metal detector coil (NOTE: this is a production model, not a prototype): To release this new detecting technology to the world, the Garrett arm of the company plans to use its marketing muscle and get the machine into the hands of respected YouTube personalities across the world. Steve Moore, director of marketing, said "We've already taken this turn-on-and-go detector out to some civil war sites, and I tell you what, this machine can hunt. Now I won't say who it was, but one of our more popular testers found a shot shell on their first hunt, and seeing that video footage in 4k with all of SUBSCRIBE NOW notifications will make you a believer. And I am pretty sure it wasn't even planted this time." Our office reached out to Minelab about this new competition, a receptionist advised that the engineering and marketing teams were out "crushing tinnies" and unavailable for comment at the moment. An unnamed source provided information on specs of this new detector, which follow below. Name: "RELICMASTER BF-Pro PLUS MAX F97" Price: $849.99 MSRP, $459.83 MAP, $34.21 eBay Weight: 6.7 lbs Technology: Differential Dual-Osc-Senseโ„ข Frequency: 80kHz Batteries: D Cell (12) Runtime: 23 minutes Coil Type: Concentric, 3/4" Plywood Waterproof: IP23 rated, can withstand tears from crying and lint from extended closet stays Release Date: April 2026 Manufacturing Location: Juarez, MX We'll be following up on this exciting development as it looks like the USA is back on the map when it comes to metal detecting.

  34. ๐Ÿ™‚ Hello there! It is true that I cannot be on the forums as frequently as I used to be BUT I definitely did not abandon you guys! I am a pretty loyal person as a character. And I would never abandon people who have supported this company and brand. Please understand that I am just a human being myself and as the company has grown into a different level, so have my responsibilitites and my workload! Now reagrding the SMF - we are going into the field testing stage. I do not want to promounce any launch dates as the field test results are a key. If all goes well, then we will not be too far from launching it. The device will be in the Simplex housing (housing ONLY!) with a different coil and a carbon fiber shaft - it is NOT an SMF Simplex as some social media posts say. It is a totally different machine that is sharing the SIMPLEX housing. The rechargeable battery will be removable and user replaceable . Is that good enough for now? ๐Ÿ™‚

  36. I use a Kellyco mesh pouch, does the job and even though I have patched it up half dozen times it isn't expensive. You try shortening up the shaft so the coil is closer to your feet or get a counter weight? I have a sling and tried it a few times and could never get used to it. Think if you balance the machine it will be much easier for longer hunts. At least your starting to pick up some coins and that ring looks pretty cool for what it is. Just matter of time to find a few keepers.

  38. Only time that happened was when I laid the detector down with the screen facing the sun while I was doing something else. But never using it even in August on a Florida beach. I suspect it may be the protector. I have a thin plastic protector to protect the buttons just on the face of the pod. Hope it helps. HH

  39. Chase I agree the photos I took only with my iPhone makes the layer look lighter than what I see with my naked eye under the same lighting conditions, I had taken the photos directly under a very bright 10w LED light(5000k). Also not sure how thick a fusion crust is or if weathering can lighten the crust but apparently non-iron meteors have a lighter fusion layer. HT I was going to wait for UWO to get back to me but now I just want to find out what it is so probably tomorrow I will cut a small window with a saw, my brother has a diamond wet saw. John

  43. Thanks JP! This statement is the key for me anyway! I have buggered shoulders and whilst I love my 7000, I cannot swing it for more than 2-4 hours. Even when doing that short period, I literally am in agony for the next couple of days. Makes sense to me that if I can swing the 6000 for 6-8 hours, then the extra hours increases the chance of gold. Simply swinging for longer equals more chance of success. My 7000 wont find much gold if its sitting in the cupboard as I am in to much pain to use it There have been plenty of days when I have just not gone detecting as I know whats going to happen after. Hopefully with the lightness of the 6000 I get more time on the ground and much less pain!!

  44. I take pictures of most of my finds, didn't today because I had a lot of junk and the trash can looked inviting. That's a good plan though! No worries here, they know the benefits. They don't pay for scrap where I live anymore. It is soft and not brittle. Not sure what metal, it was a 15 so probably lead? Maybe tin and aluminum?

  45. And as Joe, I too enjoy two AQโ€™s in my stable. I am very satisfied with the results from both my machines. Just my (2) cents worth so to speak. I think the problem with the AQ May lie in several factors. Not everyone is cut out for PI detection. Some will learn to adapt, some wonโ€™t. Location is a key factor also. Not every detector is made for every place. The wrong detector in the wrong place can sour anyone to its liking especially if itโ€™s new technology to them. I agree Fisher has had a rocky start to say the least but they have always treated me fairly. I also think that their quality control is lacking as every AQ comes with a test report. Iโ€™m not sure how so many issues have come to pass if the reports are correct. All and all though for me, I love my AQโ€™s and look forward to their use weekly. As always I wish everyone much success no matter what machine you swing and good luck everybody.

I am re-posting the drawings for those that have more of a eye for the electronic design than I do. I don't know if it can work as they have described but I think that there could be some use for it somewhere.
