Actually the excavator and pressure washer idea sounds reasonable. If you did make a dredge it sounds like a lot of work to actually get the clay into the pipe. Maybe consider some sort of grate like DDancer suggested but a little bigger to pressure wash against. Whether or not you want smaller screens after is up to you. Once the clay is broken down by the pressure washer, the latter stages may not have to be a big as the slurry should flow much better by this point. How elaborate to get will depend on whose land it is and how much time you have. Sounds like a blast.

Possibly 408 squad of the RCAF.

I agree it looks like an old scratch from here but Ill take your word for it.

Good stuff man.

Well done

Looks good from here

Perhaps it is a weight used for making sterling ingots or coins. It's pretty close to 0.925 of an ounce. Just a theory, but seems of practical convenience.

It also could have been on the front of a drawer that contained telegraphs from said company. I'm just assuming the wood rotted away which is why there are no nails. It looks like a small pocket watch. I thought maybe it was one of those things that has a coin in it, you of course can see it better. Cool finds.

Nah, you can show them a few things you learned here at the center of the universe. How did it go today?

Purchase vindicated.

You know exactly what I mean lol. Value is in the eye of the beholder, I'm just saying for consistency sake shouldn't you turn them all in?, after of course they are appraised to be over 10 euro lololol. I'm just having fun but human nature is funny isn't it? Don't go out looking specifically for new stuff and your conscience should remain clear. ?

Here is an interesting question, why doesn't anyone you turn in the silver rings too? lolololololol. Good going. ?

Is it the silver '43 nickle that this thread is about? The black stuff looks similar to the sulfide you would expect on a sulfide coin. I would expect it to ring up higher then a regular American nickle as it doesn't have any magnetic nickle in it, just copper silver and a bit of mag all non ferrous.

Sweet. Here is their video.

As El NINO mentioned the Equinox transmits up to 80 kHz I thought I would try and get a better measurement to see the higher frequencies a little better. Again my measurement might have put a slant on the result as I doubt the coil I used to test with would give a flat response over such a wide range. I also included a picture of the ~2.5 kHz "square" wave or whatever you want to call it.

I have been reading those patents over, they are very interesting. I'll admit the first one is pretty long, I forget what I am reading after a while, just mouthing the words like I'm back in school. lol The patents are more specific and fortified due to the nature of the documents compared to the ads we see from the marketing department. Dumbed up vs dumbed down? lol It's starting to become a little more understandable.

Right on El NINO I look forward to it.

I went back and found those posts by EL Nino, his results have the same peaks as mine. I was looking for yours as well, maybe you didn't post them. That's alright either way.

Deep in the depths of winter here, I found myself partaking in some serious speculating. With all the controversy of whether or not the Equinox is multi frequency or not, I figure I'd bring some wood to keep warm lol. Some of you may recall in one of those threads I was trying to explain that the waveform we see can actually be comprised of more then one, two, three or more frequencies. Additionally I pondered if the multi frequency processing could just be done on the receive side using typical sinusoidal waves that are actually doing the work. Nonetheless here is the transmit side, the side that actually excites the target. Below you will see a FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) of the Equinox in Gold2. The scale goes from DC to 125 kHz. (Left to right) If you consider the advertised range of Multi-IQ frequencies as being 5 kHz to 40 kHz, you might be satisfied by this as the left half of this 125kHz graph is filled out nicely. There is even a couple little peaks up around 100 kHz, whether or not that is utilized I don't know. I'm way off base as to how MIneslab actually does this, but I just wanted to show the kind of information that can be extracted from these signals. I am not trying to prove anything specific other then to say I don't think Minelab is being misleading IMO. Assume something is a little off with my measuring, still that looks like multi-something. The approximate frequency peaks of interest measured from left to right are: -2.5 kHz -8 kHz -13 kHz -18 kHz -23.5 kHz -28.5 kHz -33.5 kHz -39 kHz -44 kHz -50 kHz -54 kHz -59.5 kHz That covers the advertised range of frequencies which exist on the left hand side of the graph, (Midpoint is 62.5 kHz) I wont bother with the higher frequency stuff as it may not be relevant. It doesn't really hit any of the single frequencies, on the other hand Minelab does not explicitly say what frequencies are used in Multi-IQ. (That I know of.) I am happy to see that low frequency response. I was thinking the Equinox was going to be all 8 kHz and higher, which it basically is, but I'm glad to see the 2.5 kHz peak right beside it and of almost equal strength.

-35C/-31 here with the windchill, nice to see a little yellow. Well done, I've got some catching up to do in the spring. It's a bit of trash, but it's better to go home with a lot of trash and good stuff then no good stuff and just trash. lololol

Getting stiffed is rough...you could be a drywall holder the check is dependably in the mail...haha For what reason would you utilize such a significant number of names? Multi-personas maybe? Willfred

It kind of has the look of old lead which makes me think it is a pewter coin, (replica) however I'm holding out hope for you that it is some type of silver coin. I'm not familiar with pirate coins or with how silver looks in your area after being buried for a while. In my area both land and water, I usually see various degrees of sulfide on the coin. (Dark toning) All we have is the picture and the TID to go by. El Nino is doing good at the research, TID of 17 is hard to say, would have to see how big it is. I suppose a small pice of silver could hit at 17, perhaps a big pewter coin hits 17 TID as well. Good luck, hope it's real.

Looks good from here.

I would go with the thick headed theory. The WM-08 module works best line of sight.

It was/is common for authors to use a pseudonyms, although in this case using so many pseudonyms must have been for content creation. It would be benign on the fictional shelf but I guess we should be a little offended because this was a treasure type magazine that sold product. Good thing we can rely on trustworthy authors like Jill Wall and Gill Small to put us on the path to Spanish treasure.
