  1. I guess it's the same effect as Andre Le Crayons, but on a more micro level eh? It looks great compared to the before condition 😲
  2. If you could change the TID scale to the original EQX scale, I'd buy a 900 in a heartbeat.
  3. It's more a function of digging it all and putting in the time, you'll be on the gold soon enough, I have faith 👍
  4. That seems to be the general consensus, but IIRC Nasa Tom stated that there's not a true AM mode on the Equinox, and that the horseshoe button just toggles the discrimination pattern.
  5. You could tell the difference, nickles (or gold rings) sounds sweet, the ax heads have a dull, dead sound to them. I still dig them all though 😅
  6. Nice finds! TomCA and I converted an electric weed eater to a bush whacker by swapping in a brush blade, looks like a big saw blade. It works great! We found a lost c. 1860'ish stage stop in the middle of the desert. 80% was under heavy sage brush growth, so we returned and cleared out small areas, and it paid off with a rare seated quarter, a rare 1829 English silver coin, and ultimately I found my first gold coin there, although it was on a deer trail. That place is wall to wall sage brush, so there's tons more to detect if you can clear it out. I keep hoping a wildfire will roll through there as there's absolutely nothing out there, but what a blessing that would be!
  7. That's my kind of site! Nice digs Doc 👍 Looks like your on a Chinese village, and a good one!
  8. The detector links to your iPhone via Bluetooth, and in the event that you tumble down a hill, it access the SoS mode and calls for help 😁
  9. I agree. For me it's more of a curiosity with potential w/further development. I like that they took the initiative to try something innovative.
  10. This is their second or maybe even third generation GPR like imaging machine, and while the price is becoming within reach (not much more than some high end PI detectors), it's just not there yet for me. I would love to see what the Invenio Pro's screen looks like at a trashy park 🤠 Or better yet some of the stage stops or ghost town type sites we enjoy visiting. Given the price differentiation between the Invenio Pro and their last model, I suspect the next generation model (if there is one, and I hope there is) will drop the price into a more affordable zone, maybe the price of a 3030, and it'll be better at imaging as well as a more condensed package (maybe the collector will be built into the detector by then?).
  11. Good luck! Never know, I've seen people post ancient finds from public parks over there 🙂
  12. Nice finds, love the shoe buckle and the telco badge!
  13. Nice hunt! Darn tax tokens, I found an aluminum tax token in a ghost town too 🤮
  14. Curious to hear everyone's thoughts about the "upgraded" shaft/rod system on the Manticore.
  15. Mouser has them in stock too: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Nordic-Semiconductor/NRF5340-DK?qs=T94vaHKWudSvpk%2Fi5MmNkA%3D%3D We used to have tons of electronics shops in Silicon Valley, but most are gone now. They were good for parts like this, and all the random stuff they acquired to sell. It was fun scavenging through Silicon Valleys scraps 🙂
  16. Did a small detecting excursion to the desert a few weeks ago and it was already approaching 100F. The ML105 wireless headphones were not the best headphones from a comfort perspective to wear in the heat, the ML85 wireless headphones would've been much cooler to wear. I'm not really an earbud enthusiast, so it'll be interesting to see what other options are out there for warmer weather detecting.
  17. Nice finds, like the gilt Navy button! The religious medallion marked 1830 would likely be the date sainthood was given versus the date the medallion was made.
  18. Nice job on the shiny! As an Eagle Scout, I think the scouting button is pretty cool, and definitely looks old.
  19. I haven't seen many used EQX800's for sale at all since they were released, so I guess people are [for the time being] holding on to them. Mine's not going anywhere anytime soon 🙂
  20. Stellar hunt, congrats on the gold coin! What a site you guys have!
  21. It's interesting in that our colonial era history just barely touches yours. We get gilt flat buttons, but never seen anyone dig a shoe buckle. Awesome finds, you guys saved some nice history!
