  1. I went to a park in Yonkers, New York, the second "hilliest" City in the United States, just behind San Francisco, and detected a park that has been heavily hunted since the 1970s. It is in a very old part of the City, that is now run down, and dangerous. I was approached by two sets of policemen during my 90-minute hunt, and after short conversations, me giving them my business card, and them warning me to "keep your eyes open," I continued detecting. Not my best hunt ever, but the Multi Kruzer, three-tone, 5kHz, gain 80, really sniffs out copper and silver missed by countless other detectorists over the last four decades!

    Really starting to get a feel for the machine as I approach 100-hours on the headphones. I got out of the area without being robbed or assaulted, got some wheats, an IH with a marble beside it, and a silver. Happy-happy!

    I do my absolute best to be an invisible detectorist. Oddball hours, rainy days, and when I see people go the other way or leave. I suppose I might be missing an encounter that has some positive aspect but in general I think it best for the detecting community that we are seen by as few people as possible. Somebody catching me and chatting me up is my clue it’s time to go somewhere else.

    Bingo! Using this strategy has allowed me to hunt places many might consider off limits.

  3. Had a chance to test the Makro Multi-Kruzer with wireless headphones this weekend. I found most of the coins in Three-tone, 14kHz, with minimal notching. My oldest was a 1901 Indian Head, and my deepest was a 1941 Wheat penny on the deeper side of 11-inches! I thought I had a sliver of Spanish silver for a heartbeat, but no. I really liked the 4-Tone mode, in 5kHz, in the high iron and trash areas I hunted. It really helped me avoid a lot of trash signals. Recovery is fast, depth meter is accurate. Ergonomics are good, and the weight is tolerable for a five-six hour hunt. I like it!

  4. I agree with Steve on the advertising and marketing smarts at Minelab. No, the Equinox does not "obsolete" every other metal detector. It does however, offer detectorist's something we have wanted since forever - an Affordable, Waterproof, lightweight, All-Around land and sea, metal detector.

    It will eventually kill expensive single-frequency machines, like digital photography killed one-hour-photo shops. Other manufacturers will either catch up, or relegate themselves to making $200.00-$500.00 machines. Would YOU buy a Multi-Kruzer, or a Equinox 600?:ph34r:
