Thank you all very much for the input. I see now that I made an error. I had meant to say a one pound nugget.😞 Again I do apologize. I'm searching for a cache that contains 2 one-pound nuggets and some gold coins. It may be only a few inches deep. However,I hear that folks sometimes used to bury things at or below Cornerstone. I have dug up 2 Cornerstone which were about 18" deep and one that is about 36". I have narrowed my search area down to roughly 800 square feet. I originally was looking to purchase a Whites TM808,but was told it would take me months to figure out how to use it,so this Minelab 800 was their suggestion.

Thank you Steve.

That isn't what the dealer or Kellyco has been telling me. I told them both what I was looking for and they both talked me into buying this detector. Lools like I just need to get a refund.

Hello treasure hunting friends. I've never used a metal detector. I just purchased a Minelab Equinox 800. I am looking for advice on settings when searching for large(1 once and larger)gold targets up to 36" deep. Thanks.
