  1. Thanks for the paragraph about volume Gain. I've never thought to use it that way.
  2. Great job! I started an Instagram to showcase my finds. It allows people to find my services and it also catalogs all the things I recover for people...check it out. https://instagram.com/caymanringfinders?igshid=ZDdkNTZiNTM=
  3. Remember to investigate back and forth with pinpoint (vco) to get the shape. Use your imagination to see the shape that you hear🤫
  4. I don't take out my headphones and that seems to work for me
  5. Metal Detecting NYC really praises Phillipthenox as one of the best with the equinox and while he does pull some good stuff i dont think he fully understands the equinoxs menu. I'm assuming he wants to use fe2 since 0 in fe2 has less bias than 0 on fe. He has fe and fe2 in 0 and then exits the menu with fe selected. From the manual: The iron bias fe and iron bias fe2 settings profiles are independent. When iron bias fe is selected, the iron bias fe2 settings has no effect, and vice versa. Basically whichever setting is on the screen when you exit the menu, is the one it uses. I don't think many people know this and I'm just trying to spread the knowledge. Hunting with discrimination and threshold is one way to filter through all the noise in a trashy area. Instead of hearing all those low to mid tones that he discriminated out, he only hears a break In the threshold. Notifying him that there is something there but not giving him an ID on it. This allows you to move over the trash quicker. Hunting with no discrimination or threshold, the "break" in the threshold would have probably been displayed as a -4 to -6 . You'd still be able to tell that there was a deep silver coin there based on the one way iron, one way silver ID. I prefer to hunt in all metal and filter the tones out with my brain instead of discrimination and threshold.
  6. I saw that he left the equinox in fe not fe2. I may be wrong but I think whichever fe setting you leave it on is the one that is used.
  7. The threshold on the equinox in park mode is called a reference threshold. It only breaks if the coil swings over something that you've discriminated out. The equinox IDs targets just out of range as iron. That's why the deep coin that was silver was breaking the threshold. If he swung the coil over that target after taking it out of the ground the threshold wouldn't have broken. Hope this helps
  8. Other detectorist look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them that with the equinox aluminum sounds weak and sometimes scratchy. Hope this helps.
  9. Returning finds is one of my favorite parts of detecting. I recently found an iPhone that was in a wallet case and was able to return it. The lady said she lost it while taking pictures off the edge of a pier over two years ago. I found it over a mile away 😳
  10. Thanks I'll get back you to once I get it done.
  11. Can't seem to find DeoxIT D5 at any nearby stores with a quick search but what I'm looking for is an electrical parts cleaner right?
