I concur with Dean, am using one myself for couple a years now and as he's said, an excellent machine which should sniff-out the silvers chop-chop with solid TID's, even in challenging soils.... Yep, maybe its time to send the baby to hospital for a quick check-up.....

Skeleton Coast Hunter replied to Skeleton Coast Hunter's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
- Have checked spot prices quickly: 18kt yellow $32.22 and 950 palladium $30.0 / gram... Mine scales at 4.6 grams...which is very similar to your 1st 2....but that last big one in your pic = wow!! Nice! -
Palladium 950 Beach VDI
Skeleton Coast Hunter replied to Skeleton Coast Hunter's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
Thx Guys.. Yeah....always check your finds Norm...myself recently assumed a coin to be current local currency but turned out to be sweet-sweet silver from way back.. Nuke..the Palladium 950 is on-par with 18kt gold value more-or-less these days...... -

Average once a year I take all my gold rings 'n stuff to a local goldsmith lady to be melted down.. My Domestic CEO then gives her a specific design and the goldsmith only charges her for labor.. To me this is excellent value addition to my finds as the independent sworn valuation on the new handmade & custom piece afterwards is usually 2.5 - 3x the total cost..(spot price of the gold including labor)..

Consolidated Thread For Issues / Bugs / Flaws .. ?

My 800 seems to do just the opposite, as soon as pinpoint activated it is really loud for a couple (2-3) seconds and then comes down to more acceptable level once "locked-on"... -
Onetime!! Very nice!

Equinox Australian VDI Numbers
Skeleton Coast Hunter replied to Bhogg's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
Personal observation on VDI #'s with regards to corrosion/oxidation: Standard Namibian $1 coin (brass alloy) = 18 After couple years in the drink = 12 -
Affirm...about 99.9% on the coast with very occasional inland detecting Bearing in mind that most rivers in Namibia are ephemeral and that the Namib Desert is vast......all these places are untouched and has not seen human presence for many-many years..I could do detecting 24/7 for years and still not even scratch the surface...
