I really like that stone

Great find, you’ll never forget your first

That’s a dream hunt, I’m lucky to find a couple of silvers a year.

Been using mine since the end of January. I’m just now comfortable with changing some of the factory settings. It’s been more of a learning curve than I thought it would be as I have both equinox’s. It feels good in my hand and is well balanced. I really like the screen with the ferrous and nonferrous display, plus I’ve had instances where there were two nonferrous targets displayed at the same time. Turns out one was a pull tab and one was a small gold ring, tones were mixed but looking at the display I could see there were two different targets. My only negative comment would be the depth indicator is usually wrong. I primarily salt water beach hunt and and hunt in beach low conductor mode. I get more depth information listening to the strength of the signal than looking at the depth meter.

I hunt the beach in the LC mode, I find bottle caps have a scratchy sound. If you look at your screen the image looks just like what is referenced in the manual. Aluminum caps to me have a loud hollow sound, but I have dug several aluminum caps.

Great recovery, they will tell this story for many years to come.

I like the ring. Win win situation, kids got to swim and you got to hunt.

Welcome to the forum, you will find a lot of trash. The treasure is there you just need to get your coil over it.

When I get tired I dig less targets in the foil range. Probably have missed a few good targets. I primarily hunt wet sand or in the water up to my chest. Some places I hunt there is a lot of foil in the water, in that situation I move to out deeper. I found a 14k pendant the other day and it rang up a solid 6 in the wet.

I got rid of my 6 inch coil after I used my 10x5 , better coverage and I find the separation is very good and in trashy parks. I’ve not used it at the beach as I prefer the 15 inch due to the amount of coverage.

Wish I could have returned that one in person

Just an update, I finally made contact with the lady that lost the class ring and was able to return it to her.

That’s a great way to start the week.

I’ve watched both videos bashing the manticore, while I generally enjoy his videos he’s starting to lose his credibility. I’ve noticed that in the beginning of his videos he’s pushing people to give him likes. Likes increase revenue and having click bait titles increases traffic. my first thought when he was using all terrain was of corse it’s going to miss low number gold, that’s what happens when you notch out low numbers.

Very nice gold ring, it makes it worth digging all the trash
