  1. found this today in a wash below and old mine, any ideas as to what it might be. Got it with my Equinox 800 in park 1, was looking for possible coins, had the 6 inch coil, sure sounded good.
  2. All I can say about my Nox 800 , selling my other detectors as I never use them anymore....
  3. Check out Bill Southerns you tube videos on gold hunting with Equinox …..good info His you tube videos can be found under Nugget Shooter
  4. Lead shot, it seems to be the curse of panners and those of us detecting too, got my share.
  5. I use the Pro35 and am very happy with it, if it gets close to the coil it makes noise....hope this info helps
  6. To me it does not matter if I am hunting gold or coins/relics , I dig it all, I do try to see if I can ID the item I am digging before I dig it. So far it has worked for me , was swinging for gold with the 6 inch coil, got a 14 then right away it hit a 3...swing the other way and got a 3 then went to 14 , dug it, the 14 was a hot rock but beside it was a very small sliver of lead. The lead read a 3....could have been gold .
  7. Great finds, Nox did well. Hope your health get better soon , happy hunting when you can.
  8. Very nice Mitchel, Ineed to get out and hunt some coins with my 6 inch coil . Going to a place I have hunted with every coin machine and coil I have had. Great finds on the beach...none around here in Golden Valley but will make it to Bullhead to hunt soon.
  9. I have to agree, it is all I need . I now pick up the Equnox and my MXT and MX Sport just sit..going to sell them
  10. did not get to hunt a long time, got run out by thunder storms, big time. I did find 2 itty bitty pieces of lead.....one of them read a 3 and was next to a hot rock that read a 13.....swing one was it would read 13....3 then swing other wat it would read 3 ….13 so I dug...got the hot rock out, it read 13....swung back over hole and it read 3..dug a little more and found the lead....nice for the coil to separate the targets. picture taken with my micro camera , that is a BB for size...
  11. Thanks , for the most part I have had the best luck hunting coins , I only live about 60 miles from a gold hunting area so I thought I would give it a try, so far I have never detected a nugget , but there is always a chance. Getting ready to head out and will report on my findings.
  12. Got mine Today , Going out in the gold fields of AZ to try mine out in the morning, will also post my findings
  13. Got my coil in hand , off to gold basin in the morning to try it out. Will report on how it does tomorrow.
  14. Looks like I will have my 6 inch coil today so I am planning to go to Gold Basin AZ and hunt in the morning...we will see how it goes.
  15. Looks like I will have my 6 inch coil for my Equinox today, already planning on going to Gold Basin in the morning, we will see what happens.
  16. Well ,My coil left Phoenix and went through Kingman to Las Vegas took 13 hours to get there and I guess I will have it tomorrow....I HOPE.
  17. tracking said my coil left Phoenix at 1:47 am, should have had it today....at 3:30pm it says same thing...don't know why it is taking so long to go less than 200 miles
  18. Michel , Mine is in Phoenix and should be here today....waiting for it to get here......will be going to GB to try some areas we looked at.
  19. Just watched a YOU TUBE video with Bill Southern and he was using the 6 inch coil. Glad I just got a tracking number on my coil. Great video
  20. Only had my Nox for a short time but I know if I go out detecting I pick the Nox up and leave the MXT and my MX Sport at home now...still learning but almost have no interest in other machines . But that is just me.
  21. At my learning point right now I am just using park 1 and going from there.....if it beeps right now I dig it....got a good foil collection going. .
  22. Took my Equinox 800 out to play today . I went to a local Tot lot since it should be almost empty...it was . Found a bunch of clad, first find was a dime, then another dim. I got a solid 13 on it was double hitting, move the sand and there was a nickel....all in all I think I got about 1.77 in clad but I am getting better and ID with sounds...would here it , then look for what I thought it should be....still learning but having fun too....
  23. Waiting, learning , so when the 6 inch coil come out I can get one for some tight places I like to go. Figured I would have to dump the sand.....at least if I got sand I know I was swinging low enough . I was told that there was a group hunting on this beach the night before too. This is a beach on the Colorado river across from the Laughlin NV casinos...very popular with the tourists.
  24. Went out to a local freshwater beach on the Colorado River , was full of folk this weekend.... Got there at day break...was already 8 folks hunting , I took my place on the beach. I found 5 pennies , 2 dimes and 2 sinkers plus 3 metal tent pegs . Still learning but I am getting able to tell bottle caps from coins and pull tabs . If it beeps I still dig it but I try to ID what I am about to dig. Hardest thing to find was 2 split-shot sinkers as they was the same color as some of the gravel. I am learning , finding stuff , but learning. Does anyone have problems with sand getting in between the coil and cover....how to fix it ????
  25. I would like a chance at the rock hound books.....I like to hunt rocks , they move slow enough I can catch them....
