Hey all, I just joined the forum and wanted to share my experience with the  Equinox 600 which I just acquired recently.   

I am completely new to the Equinox series of detectors  and so spent a lot of time on here reading what Steve and others have generously shared over the past year.   I really wanted to get an 800 but I found a 600 on craigslist that I could not pass up.   I got the 6" coil  and just recently had the chance to try it out in Northern AZ for a couple days.    I set it up in Field 2, with some adjustments, and went at a patch Id found gold in before.   I was really surprised at how fun the Equinox is, and how well it sniffed out some tiny lil nuggets among the noisy hot rock infested ground.   I guess I was just so pleased with how it performed that I had to share.  Smallest nugglets took 4 to make a grain.. (Scale is tiny too)      I dont think Iv seen anyone post a nugget found with the 600, lots of jewelry of course but not much nugget action.   I assume its because most people serious about prospecting are leaning towards the 800 in general (I am!)  I actually picked up an 800 that I cant wait to try out and compare with the 600.      Anyway, I can share my settings if anyone is interested, and also if anyone has been using the 600 for prospecting Id love if they chimed in on this.   Cheers!        Also, just want to thank everyone here for sharing so much knowledge and experience, and I hope to be able to contribute to that as I learn more.. 

Hey everyone, Iv been following stuff on here for years and finally got around to branching out on the forums...       I know some of you already, some from other forums, shows, outings etc, and hope to meet more great folks as I put a little more time into circulating, and socializing a bit more.      Well Id better get posting and loose my lurker status!   Cheers!   Mike
