Thanks Andy,
Mike Haer who does post on this forum gets all the credit for writing such a great article.
The main reason I wanted to share it was just to show you cannot trust these extreme tests people come up with on Youtube to always relate to real world conditions.
In my situation the Equinox had no problem detecting a silver hoard.
The main hole that I found most of those silver coins in I had no problem initially hitting with my Equinox 800. It rang up high like a single silver coin. I dug one coin and put the plug back in. Only when I decided to recheck the hole did I realize there was more than one target. There ended up being between 30-40 coins in that hole.
I just wouldn't put too much stock in some of these tests people put out there to show a problem with a machine that may not even exist.
Take care,
Tom
