Out of curiosity, how deep was the grill?

Yeah i should have said, no Lidar for where I want to map LOL. The West does have some for sure, but sure is crazy to see green from the central US all the way to the East Coast.

To bad no Lidar really from Rockies West. Here in SD its still in progress. The drone mapping intrigues me. What drone did you use for that PG? Why did you sell?

You can always do a Freedom of Information Act request. I had to do that when the USFS tried to take land away here. They have to respond or you can take it to your senator and they will make them respond. But i live in a red state, might be different in a blue one.

Awesome Mitchel! Good luck! Ive been following your posts on this as i want to do the same in 2021. Saving right now! Fred offered to let me borrow his books as well and look forward to reading them. If you dont mind i might be picking your brain on this in the future. Have fun and get some gold!

Nice thats cheaper then flyin in the USA

Innovation Nation!

Well shoot looks like i gotta keep the sdc for my creek detecting. I seem to get better depth inch or two, smaller coil 8", and waterproof. Thanks for all the info! Look forward to the big coils too! Although i might just completly switch over to the nox for the creeks, but have had such good luck with the sdc. Hard decisions! Lol

Thats what i kind of figured but was hopefull none the less. Looking forward to the 10x9 being available! I really would like to see how that works for MDing up the gut of the small creeks and gulches I detect. Would they be waterproof? What kind of depth are you getting? Debating on keeping my SDC or not.

I like Minelab and would go with the Equinox 800. Depth is not what you are after anyways. Gold occurs at all depths unless right in the middle of a fluvial environment which allows for liquifaction and the settlement of heavies.

Hey davsgold, i was curious how the small coils are coming along. The 10 inch and if an 8 inch might be coming. Really interested, the smaller coils help me get in the small creeks and gulches, especially if they are waterproof.

I'm sticking with made in the USA by steveg! You put all the work in and know what worked the best. This guy might use cheap parts or didn't test like you. Plus he is out of country. I was just showing ya for your own info.

Here it is https://www.ebay.com/itm/NNX-Carbon-Fiber-Upper-Shaft-for-Minelab-Equinox-600-800/264144498061?hash=item3d803d2d8d:g:-PQAAOSw1IhcQD96:rk:6:pf:0

Just search "minelab equinox" in all categories and sort by newly listed. I can't seem to find out how to share a link with the ebay app on my phone.

Uh oh Steve, you are already starting to get copy cats on your design. One selling right now on eBay. Similar clamp design too.

FYI GPZ over on Robs forum for sale at $4800. Stellar deal!

Cool! Interesting on the recent ring find, I believe that is also where Gary Drayton found his famous one too

Yup i've researched Terry in the past. I'd love to meet him on the beach some time. Maybe I'll stop by the museum Peg and give you a visit but usually by the time I'm done hunting the museum is closed LOL

Hello all! One thing that I have not seen or heard since the Nox has been out is what people are finding for Spanish treasure and relics with the Equinox out on the FL Treasure Coast. Of course ever since the Nox has been out there has not really been any storms to get some good beach erosion going on. Out of curiosity, what settings and mode are folks using for the relic/treasure hunt on the treasure coast beaches, including the iron settings. Can't wait to hear the answers! I plan on being down there for a couple weeks in Feb and if the weather gives some good erosion I'm gonna be out there with the 15' coil swinging away! But even if the weather doesn't "cooperate" I'll still be looking for that modern bling in the Beach modes. I think I have to be the only person that goes on a FL vacation that hopes for a NorEaster

The one in vegas is a replica. I asked one of the security guards. He told me the owner sold it a while back to buy his basketball team. All the golden nugget casinos have one i guess. I was dissapointed to say the least

There is a guy on treasurenet called freeloader that will custom make you a pouch. They are by far the best and very highy quality. I think he might have been or made bags for military purposes, again super high quality canvas pouche, custom to how you want, at a great price you can't beat. He is in the marketplace section.

Or call that worked for me too

Steelphase is the one. He sells them on eBay.

Buy it and find out i bought it beacuse the first book taught me some things and I'm sure the 2nd will too. Plus they are the only books out there right now on the Nox. I replaced my CTX with the Nox and almost instanly missed the CTX's TID, after reading Clives book not so much anymore. Makes me wonder why the Youtubers I watch dont impliment his techniques. I guess most like clad. Cheapest on eBay right now 18.95 with free shipping.

That’s what I was possibly thinking too.
