You had a great hunt, nice going on the walker! What settings are you running?

Nice work, like that Barber quarter!

Nice work! I have a hand plugger built by local detecting legend Mike Walding that punches down 10" per punch, pretty much at the end of the detecting depth of a VLF on a coin in most ground.

Bucket lister find for sure, congrats!

Congrats on the seated!!! That looks like it was a fun hunt, little bit of everything, like the big token too 🤔

Nice variety of colonial finds there!! Not sure what the mystery item is 🤔

I've watched my hunt partner scratch a few silver AND gold coins 😲

Nice job, what a great story with a happy reunion ending! Too bad W&E went under, they'd print this.

Sorry George. Went through the same thing a few years ago when both of mine went back to back.

Jeff doesn't Midwest return the stones? I thought they used to 🤔 Always heard positive feedback on Midwest.

I always felt that W&E was a class act, but the writing was on the wall when they went digital only. As much as I love technology, I kind of lost interest in W&E when they ceased a paper magazine, as the online forums have been just as interesting, if not more at times. I'll really miss their Best of the Year issues, I was fortunate enough to have some items published, some best of the year finds, even an Ask Mark submission a few times over the years 👍

That belt plate is a bucket lister find, congrats!

Always amazes me what we find and where, lots of head scratchers out there haha

Well there is that, but you could sometimes tell as a nickel or similar conductor sounded bright and "excited" vs. an ax head or other large iron implements that tend to have a dull sound. Either way I still dig 13s 🎅

Great buckles! Your dial is reminiscent of one of those old mailbox combination dials or something along those lines.

Congrats, love the treasure pile! 🏆 If beach hunting was always that gratuitous, I'd be a full time beach hunter 🤠

There was a MC on Cabelas yesterday...and EQX900's have been in stock since they came out.

This is also right around where the U.S. $5 gold coin IDs as well, so we dig shotgun shells. They (and other small arms discards) are to relic hunters what pull-tabs are to turf hunters 💣

I was perfectly happy with the TID setup on the EQX800 too. Shame ML didn't offer a user option to select either the original Equinox TID layout, or the new expanded TID layout.

The Tarsacci has been a machine of interest,I lurk on the various Tarsacci forums and the audio is the #1 complaint I've seen on the Tarsacci. If Dimitar would just offer the alternate audio option I suspect the Tarsacci would be far more popular. IIRC it's just an EEPROM or something similar re-flashed with an alternate image from Dimirar.

I'm with you there. After using the EQX800 since it was released, I'm almost thinking I might be happier with the EQX900 vs the MC 🤔

That's where I was on the first shipment 😞

Mine came in the second batch, just waiting for my dealer to ship it. He got zero on the first round, and only one on the second round, so their trickling in....more like slow drip 🐌

Nice digs George! I finally dug a cannon and mortar coat button a couple of years ago, now I need a Phoenix ball button 👍

Wow what a great haul! Love the counter-stamped reales 👍
