  1. I agree.  My coin finds have increased now that I am using the Equinox. Found a 1909 barber quarter and 3 pennies Thursday at a site that normally doesn't gives up coins.  I have found the ID's are rock solid on coins and other round targets.  I am also finding targets at greater depth.

  2. I also like the adjustability of the Equinox 800.  Especially the ability of changing the tones, the number of tones, volumes, and tone breaks.

    If XP would upgrade the ORX to allow the manipulation of the tones it would help those of us with heading problems.

  3. The Equinox 800 in my opinion has the edge over the ORX in depth and definitely in ID  readings. I usually start with my 800 and will occasionally switch to the ORX when my arm needs a rest.  Keep in mind that the ORX has a 9" coil.

    The ORX has the edge on just about every other machine when it comes to weight and ergonomics.  

    The Equinox in one of it's multi-frequency modes is very accurate at ID'ing  at depth.

    I found that the Gold 1 mode on the ORX is a good relic mode if there is not much trash.  It hits hard and seems to hit deeper, though you have to ground balance frequently.

  4. It came out in the first shovel full of dirt so I cannot say how deep it was for sure. I don’t recall the reading while it was in the ground but it read as 85 in the spoil dirt.

     I was using coin deep at 28.8 kHz with the reactivity set to 2. I was using this setting because I was looking for military buttons.
