Awesome finds! I don't think I'm going to get anything quite that old in Idaho...

Obviously you are doing things right. Question though, since objects can dropped or lost most anywhere, what would key you in an area for a hoard? Not just where someone lived in the past  but do they turn up being associated with anything in particular? I'm ignorant of this area of detecting. And maybe I misunderstand the term "hoard".

Looks like an adventure.

Maybe you get the chance to come the uk lots of detectorist come here on detecting holidays

Welcome to the forum Majorp. ?

I have a 600 myself, and have, in my first year detecting, found some of the oldest stuff America has to offer from a Colonial standpoint. The 600 is certainly no slouch in this regard! I will never regret my purchase. ? Looks like you have done very well with it! We all envy your possibilities, believe me. ?

Have you investigated the Coiltek 10x5 coil for your Equinox? It is the king of trash, very good in trashy iron and tight spaces, which I have read are common in the UK. You only lose about an inch of swing coverage and gain a lighter detector and razor focus pinpointing or locating a target.

It would be a great addition to your machine. 

Hi there . I have been detecting just over 2 years I have awsome finds from all ages roman , saxon etc. 

I brought the coiltek 15 in the pinpointing is off I have all 3 minelab coils I had tiny hammered coins among iron all my finds have came from the minelab coils and the coiltek 15in is 300 gram heavier than the minelab so over few hours you start to feel it in your arms lol . So my personal view on the coiltek is no real difference in depth with minelab so my moto is dont fix that isnt broke so finding loads with minelab coils .
