Thanks for the heads up, still here!

$25/ ounce is what I pay (am charged) in Spokane, don't remember what they charge over spot for purchase. I buy silver on a regular basis and it's normally $1.00 over spot purchase and $.35 less on sale. Those numbers are bullion not nuggets because raw gold here is about 82-85% pure so there is also that deduction.

I have and use Maktun, it has helped a couple of times. I have used it on US and foreign coins and it has done a respectable job and is easy to use. Down loaded from Play Store for Android.

Great video, thanks, been there done that... good luck in the future...........

Not to shabby!

^^ What he said ^^

Nice finds, you don't know what it is unless you dig and check your hole, sometimes there is a bonus. Hope you checked the area well, looks like a good spot to spend some time!

Good job on finding the wheats, I always figure if I can find 4 or more wheats in front of one house hitting curb strips there is a good possibility of silver.  I went back to one spot 2 times before I scored  the silver, got 2 mercury dimes, just takes time and listening to what the nox is saying. Maybe we can get together when you get back to this time zone lol...

Greetings and great choice on the Equinox!  I have a sister that lives outside Helena and live in the Moscow area.  Don't get to crazy with settings on the detector, learn the factory programs and move on from there.  The equinox will definitely do its job, just learn what it is saying to you and don't worry about going over the same area 1,2, 3 or even more times - nobody gets it all!

Great hunt, thanks for sharing - when it feels right dig it!

I sell a lot of detectors to people with hearing loss and in most cases have found hearing aids to be ineffective for detector use unless the person is extremely deaf, they tend to lift everything especially wind noise, birds calls human voices that type of thing which tends to drown out the Threshold. 

The key to detecting with hearing loss is to be able to ‘hear’ the threshold pitch, if you can hear that in all conditions your fine. Most men have hearing loss in the higher frequency range so I usually suggest they use a lower threshold pitch. In my case in my younger days I used a threshold pitch of 60 but since my late 40’s have found a lower threshold pitch of 40 is better (I actually go as low as 20 in the right conditions especially when I’m chasing low/high deep nuggets at depth). Too low a threshold pitch (below 40) and I usually recommend headphones over speakers as the low frequency sounds tend to have a lot of competition in the natural environment.

Just my 2cents

The hearing aids that I have, as well as others have the ability to turn off the microphone to magnify or clarify the outside sound and still transmit the Bluetooth signal from the detector to the hearing aids. I assume this is not the case for all hearing aids. Mine work very well in locations like the desert if the wind is blowing or there are other outside sounds I don't want to hear I just turn off the microphone and I still have the threshold and any target sounds coming directly to me.

I believe it was back in February I made this post and have still had excellent results.  The Equinox 600 easily pairs with my hearing aids and has worked well for me, I now have over 250 hours using this set up and over 2,800 coins for the year.  Latency is a non issue, and it is beneficial I believe working in some environments.

Never a quitter, I like it!

Me too, put my name in the hat...……...

Outstanding, hope you have the chance to get back there, looks like a great area!

My best friend Hank, they always leave to soon.....

Nice piece! No rubbish is a good place to be.

I'm glad you also had a positive experience with MineLab customer service. 

After less than one year and maybe 20 cycles the battery charger for my SDC2300 quit working. I tried several different things like different batteries, using both 12 volt and 110ac and the unit would not charge. I called MineLab explained my problem and received an RA number. Shipped old charger out on a Tuesday priority mail, they received it on Thursday and I got a confirmation email that they had received it.

  On Monday I got another email saying the unit had been repaired and was being shipped out. On Friday I received a brand new charger with new batteries (10 days from my original shipment including one weekend). Outstanding customer service and shipping times have made me a happy camper and the SDC is ready to go - Thanks to MineLab

Way to go GB glad you got to make the return trip, congrats!

Looks like the snow must finally be leaving your hunting grounds, great finds! 

Fun in the sun, and everyone is happy, happy, happy - great find and great video!

Don't know where you are from or exactly what you are looking for but http://gerrysdetectors.com in Boise Idaho probably has what you are looking for. Great guy lots of inventory and field training, give him a call and get what you need!

Welcome to the forum Denise!  The Equinox 600 is a fine machine (I have one too) and this is a great place to learn how to run it.  Check Steve's guides to shorten the learning curve and get the most of what it can do for you.  Lots of great folks here to help and share in your experiences.

Nice finds!

I'll be glad when our snow is gone here.
