  1. Not sure this is a topic for this forum, but this is where I see a large number of technically adept folks posting so I'm going to try (also the folks who are talking about x-coils on another forum). Has anyone had detecting experience around these 5G installations being rushed out everywhere across the world? It will be interesting to see what levels of interference are generated by this emerging technology. I personally am very much against it's roll-out because there are no deep studies that portray it as a safe-for-living-things technology, in fact the opposite seems to be true, but that aspect is probably not a topic for this website.
  2. If your Equinox is picking up your cell phone, an easy solution is to put it in one of the many phone cases that shield you from EMF - probably not a bad idea in any case.
  3. Nice persistence and good find. I have a feeling you worked for it. Good one.
  4. You might contact WSPA (Western States Prospectors Association), they may be helpful.
  5. I think MineLab is being seriously remiss in not; a. releasing an x-type coil and b. remaining totally silent on this issue which virtually every 7000 owner is interested in. Their dismissive silence is louder than they may realize.
  6. It seems to be a fairly common criminal activity for some people, just helping themselves to land that is unsupervised. I know there are some folks who make a mistake and can't tell the land is claimed, but there are other people who are obviously predatory and know exactly what they are doing; claim jumping.
  7. This is one of the more hilarious statements I have ever seen on any gold forum. Just had to say that. (not trying to be a smart-ass, but that is the reason everyone is here).
  8. That's a great looking rig. I tend to carry more water but other than that, it's an amazing set-up.
  9. My favorite method of detecting. Wishing you luck in Nv. at the outing Fred.
  10. The Equinox is a very "live" detector and anything that helps discern an actionable signal from trash is greatly appreciated.
  11. That's why before filling in their hole, most people run their detector over the dig hole and the throw-outs after extracting their find. It's a good habit to develop.
  12. Or at the very least (Minelab's favorite way), include some inserts with the coils, it would be so simple…and certainly would be far more expedient than having to replace whole coils.
  13. Great report Condor and once again you prove that people who find gold in your area usually do because they work for it.
  14. One of the few benefits of being 5' 7"... Good luck.
  15. Pretty amazing machine even without the low price. I love that these guys are able to design so many features into an "entry level" machine. I am hoping they have a huge success with this beauty of a machine. It will be fun to hear how it does but I will bet right now, it's good.
  16. A cool article and an eye-opener as far as using technology, knowledge and effort goes. No wonder these guys find gold, they work for it.
  17. Hi Steve, thanks for posting that thread. I have only used it a bit, but haven't had any problems with the locks, or the fit of everything, or any wobble in the shaft. I look forward to using it more and more now that the weather is beginning to be safe enough to not have to worry about bursting into flame getting out of the car in the desert.
  18. Since people are chatting up new stems, I would like to recommend a three piece telescoping replacement for the stock Equinox stem. I received it today and love it. It is super lightweight, simple to assemble (I did it so it's simple), it obviously has had a lot of thought put into it. I don't make a habit of putting up ad's for equipment unless I am pretty sure they are first rate and I believe this shaft meets that standard. I took a couple of quick shots of it after I closed it up to it's shortest length. They also included a nice cover for the Eq. control box which I also have shown. Take a look at their website and see what you think https://www.detecting-innovations.co.uk/TELE-KNOX_Detecting-Innovations_Telescopic_Stem/p6292256_19741720.aspx
  19. I love that trip to N. NV. as well but have you ever tried taking Hwy. 6 out of Bishop and then turning N. on Hwy 360? It's sort of the back way and is shorter if your are going above Lovelock. There are some amazing views and side trips to mining areas that are little prospected. fwiw...
