It's frustrating at times. I remember hitting and old neighborhood ball field and the first foil target dug was a gold band. 20 some pcs of foil later I hung it up and left. LOL

Strictly a fresh water guy but for ocean hunting does threshold play a major part when setting sensitivity and recovery?

Thanks for the reminder Ted. Just finished up Tom Thanks for the invite JW that's quite the offer. Snow just starting here so works out fine for me. Ticket purchased just need directions from the airport to your house. ? Tom

Probably buried by a robber shortly before he was beheaded. LOL -

Book Excerpt: How To Run 10 KHz As Iron Identifier
Jackpine replied to cjc's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
Yup, and field 2 is a real corker in or out of the water. I can run iron at 0 and sens 24 in almost all lakes and it runs smooth as silk. The big lake can be a problem however due to the rollers creating larger ripples farther apart. -
Sweet! Diamonds are a rare find for me and that's a nice one!

Book Excerpt: How To Run 10 KHz As Iron Identifier
Jackpine replied to cjc's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
One of these days, maybe in the spring when the snow is gone, I will try the single freq modes. At present all I have used is Multi and between the audio response and TID that's all I need. Most of the hours I have on the 800 are fresh water wading and about the only thing I pass on is the obvious non-rusty caps and if things are slow I dig em anyway and why not. LOL The only complaint I have is under water ripples in the sand creating positive responses in the audio necessitating raising the iron zone to 1 or at times even 2. Field 2 helps on that but I'd prefer to use park 2 at all times. I have seen this with other detectors but the Nox in Park 2 is much more prone to this than other VLF's. -

Great story Steve and congratulations on your amazing gold finds. Re: MIndy's find.. what can I say.. stunningly beautiful! Tom -
I'm using field 2 as well at the camps but have switched to using park 2 primarily at most other sites. I might give park 2 a try there next time I'm out that way. I'm fighting a cold and the northern Mich weather at the moment however.

Not sure of the answer or that I can confirm if the upgrade has anything to do with it either. What I do know is that it is running smoother and with less falseing overall so IMO the upgrade made a positive difference. Coin shooting at old fair grounds and one room school sites in the area is a pleasure, meaning it has pretty much taken ferrous out of the equation compared to when I first got the machine but that could also have to do with use and being more familiar with the detector as well.

I have left several 15's (axe heads) leaning against the base of trees at the lumber camp I have been hunting.

Will We Ever See New Coils For The Equinox?
Jackpine replied to Cal_Cobra's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
It would be really sweet if Mars could adapt their 6x10 sniper coil for the Equinox. I have tried many other aftermarket coils but for me Mars coils are it for performance, light weight and a wide variety of available sizes. I have an X-Terra 705 and the only reason it is staying in the arsenal is the increase in overall performance it has shown using Mars coils. Tom -
Awesome find!!!

That's a beauty!

Did a 3 tone hunt at the old fairgrounds the other day and came away quite pleased with the Nox. In the past I was hunting low and fairly slow (for me) with sens in the 21-24 range and lower recovery settings here. This time I set recovery at 6 sensitivity 24 in park 2 and hunted with a slightly fast sweep. The machine behaved beautifully over the ground (2 bar 81 ground on Fisher/Tek machines). Both coins hit solidly in my setup range reading 12-13 for nickel and 19-20 on the IH penny from 9"+ depths. It's been a long time since I have recovered 2 old coins in one hunt from this site and they were the only coins found during the hunt.?
