I bought the 6" coil last summer and hit a real small park that is super trashy. Like i mean every 10"-12" is iron grunts. I had hit it hard with my AT Pro over the last 2 years with every coil size. Then i blasted it with the equinox standard 11" coil a few times. Once i got the 6" coil i hit it again and pulled out a Canadian large cent on edge and also found a 1908 pocket watch in a hole with a couple rusty nails. It definitely has its place in your tool bag. For a site like that that it is impossible to dig every target i am able to pick out the high squeakers among all the iron trash. It doesn't cover a lot of ground so i wouldn't use it on a full time basis but it sure helps out on those trash laden sites.

Very nicely done. I'm beginning to get the picture. Health wise Believe it or not I can get as much enjoyment on reading the feedback from our Forum Members experiences. Than actually doing a dig myself, at times.  Thanks for sharing.

Excellent .... Looks like everything I will need to know is there.  You probably do not realize how much this helps this newbie as I try to get familiar with Our Forum.  Thanks for doing the research for this SC.  EQ USAF 62-66

Dear Friends ....  Have purchased the Equinox 800 and Would like to know if anyone has had or used this coil and would like to share your thoughts on/of this coil. I realize that it has not been around all that long but perhaps some of Our Forum has had some hands on experiences with it? Any an all remarks would be appreciated.  Considering on purchasing! Thank you very much! Co

Hey Everyone;

I watched a couple of youtubes on "Equinox coins on edge" which prompted me to do a test on my own.

Honestly, I really don't know what to make of it and I don't have anything to say positive or negative other than, I hope the percentages of coins on edge are low.

Yesterday at the park I laid a silver dime flat on the ground and ran the coil over it in Park 1. The signal was loud and clear.

I then stuck it in the ground on edge so the rim was barely showing. Ran the coil over it and the signal came in scatchy and broken up with VDI's bouncing around between the low and high numbers but nothing above 20.....mostly low single digit numbers. And in many passes, no signal at all. I wouldn't have dug these. 

Did the same with a silver quarter, wheat penny, '40 nickel, and the same scratchy broken signal on all or no signal. 

This morning out to my test garden.... did the same again with the Nox and the same results as of yesterday at the park. 

Cranked up the Safari..... hit them loud and clear whether flat or on edge.

Do I really need to be concerned about this? 

Any words of metal detecting wisdom on this? 

Thank you

This SC is sort of a dollar down an a day late with this reply. I came across a similar video showing this  phenomena. Hope this may help as thanks to observers, users of the Equinox this matter has been forwarded to ML.

Just received the Equinox 800 and discovered that The same thing happens using the parameters shown on video. No stable or good IDs using multi! So being in denial ... I decided to sent a note and the Equinox Video link to The Equinox 800 Detect Modes to our ML Business Development Director here in North America to see if I would get any response. This is the same video link that many of you have viewed.  Hope this may help?? The following is the reply I received!

"Thank you for your inquiry. As the gentleman states in the video, our Engineers are working directly with him to determine what is happening in these situations. Once they determine what the issue is and how it can be corrected, we will make a notice out to users. I personally have found that going in one direction, I get a solid hit, and then at 90 degrees, it still gets an ID, but jumps a bit."
