Great find and congrats on the rings.

Hope I will be able to do that some day.

Nice article and thanks for posting it.

This will give you a bit of an idea.

Thanks for the video as it really helped me understand more about how it works. I don't know what the settings are or how to do them, but I will find some instructions on it.

Thanks a lot for that information and I will let you know how I do in the future.

I hope I am not asking a stupid question here, but I have a question about the carrot pin pointer my grandfather had.

When I was learning his detector, a Equinox 800, I tried to use the pin pointer that he has to find the item that was showing on the detector.

I never got a response until I got within a couple of inches from the item, it turned out to be a dime from the 1930's.

What is the usual range of these pin pointer carrots, and is this one working properly if I had to be that close to the dime.

I really want to learn this equipment so I can use it properly.

Thank you Caleb

GB, glad you were talking about the weather because I am just getting into these metal detectors.

Should it get to cold here, I will simply go to the coast and check out the oceans!

Did you find anything, or just go look for a place to hunt at?

Please show some pictures of your finds if you have any to show.

Beautiful find can you please take me on your next trip out.

Great job and wish you luck in the future.

Very nice find and hope I can learn to do that also.

Very glad to have you here on this forum. I always enjoyed your grandfather's posts and the private messages that we exchanged. 

Lots of Equinox users on here who are happy to share info and to learn from you too.

Thank you Jeff, and I will be asking a lot of questions I'm sure.

The same thing happened to my grandfather and all he did was clean the charging points where it hooked up and then it was fine. He said it had a film on it and it didn't make a good connection the first time he took it out of the box.

Hope that works out for you.

It seems that many here knew my grandfather, and I only hope that I can gain the same respect that he had from man of you.

I am new at this so please forgive me if I make a few mistakes along the way.

I love fishing, hunting, and most of all family.

I have my grandfathers equipment to learn and use and I have a lot to learn about this type of hunting. I went with my grandfather to several countries searching for lost treasures underwater, but never anything like this. I have used sonar, side scan sonar, and my grandfathers underwater detectors with UAV's.

Caleb

I thank all of you who have said nice things about my grandfather and only hope that I can fill his shoes for his last adventure on the Civil War hunt. He truly wanted to get that done and now it is on my shoulders to finish the hunt for him.

Thank you all for your kind words,

Caleb
