Nickel Signals... Ratio To Buffs, V's And Gold
Cptbill replied to Happa54's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
Hi, I read what you guys said about checking out signal in the 11 - 14 range. Last weekend was my first time out this year and our club went to a local “hunted out” park. My first coin was a solid 12 and down about 7 inches. Remembering what you guys said I dug it up and sure enough it was buffalo nickel with no date of course. The guy next to me was also using a 800 Enquinox got a solid 13 hit and dug up a V nickel. Thanks to guys I was paying more attention to the 11-14 range. As always that were those darn tips off of the old ring pull tabs to deal with. -

2019 - A Look Ahead
Cptbill replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
Happy New Year to everyone also,. I agree with schoolofhardNox no matter which machine you use. Enjoy your machine and especially your time detecting. I find researching new machines, reading metal detecting forums or talking with others about detecting to be one of enjoyable part of this hobby. To me this is even more than a hobby, it’s a way of life!!! -
I have to confess I only belong to 2 or 3 forums and only just started reading forums. I started in hopes of finding more hunters in the Tennessee and or Kentucky area around Fort Campbell. Plus I like reading what other have found or advice on metal detector equipment to buy. I am sure that most of the members of our local club don’t belong to.a forum. Which is to bad.

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.

Well the bottom part broke and they sent me the top I told ML I needed the bottom part so they sent it but never asked for the top part back! So I have a whole set as a back and you can never have enough extra parts, ?

I broke the stand part of the cuff. My dealer contact ML and they sent me the cuff, so I contact ML and the second time I got the stand. I took the broken one and expoxed it together and works great. So now I have a back cuff and stand. ML was fast in sending out the replacement part and didn’t ask for the cuff back. Got to admit I like their service and love my NOX 800.

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

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
