Great story and great hunt. Plus a nice haul on jewelry! Can't beat finding a nice gold ring.

Great job! I can't tell if you add a ground balance to the Cibola.

It looks really nice.

That would be tough to choose. They both performed well. I would give a slight edge to the Legend. You could also consider the weight difference. I think the 5x9.5 will push it over the edge to keep the Legend. A 5x9.5 is supposed be in the works. That coil is the reason I'm keeping my Legend. Also with Nokta/Makro keeping up on this detector is another reason to keep the Legend.

We may also have an update coming that would give the Legend even better separation. That is only a guess lol. No rumors on that.

Now that's a great relic hunt. Good job. That's the kind of stuff I like to find lol. 

That's interesting. I haven't tried single tone. Haven't heard anything about single tone.

Nice silver. That's a tough spot. Good hunt. Were you using the Tejon again?

That's a great relic hunt. The Deus 2 worked good. You will have more IH's coming your way.

Calabash did a video with the 11" & 6" on buried test coins. The 6" coil performed very well.

I agree we need a 5x9.5dd coil and would like to see a 7" or 8" round concentric coil.

This is an air test on small foil and gold.

So Park 1 would be best for jewelry hunting on land. Kac you were right.

Fresh water I would Park 2. It's very sensitive to gold.

Great find with the Tejon. It did it's job. I like finding those crotal bells. I haven't found one with a dingaling in it. It's also been awhile since I found one.

The Equinox w/6" coil in Beach 1 mode, will not hit this small piece of foil but will hit the 10k gold piece.

In my fresh water beaches I would not hunt in Beach 1 mode. On land, Beach mode could be good for jewelry hunting and getting some small jewelry while eliminating the small foil.

I don't know how well Beach 1 mode is on gold earring studs.

Still thought it was interesting. I haven't tried it on land.

Sensitivity 22, 2 tone, Tone break 0, F2 0 and recovery 4.

Good hunt. The merc came out in great condition.

That's good to hear.

Awesome find. I don't find many gold chains.

I have never used a coil cover and never had any problems.

Wow. That's awesome finding small gold like that.

Nice hunt. A cool toy car. To bad it was in a crash! 🙂

The Nox does have great id and easier setup. Both the Nox and Legend are hot on small jewelry. The Legend in Gold field is what to use for small jewelry.

I like having them both. On land I'm using the Nox and in the water the Legend.

I choose the Equinox 800 over the Legend right now also. I agree 100% with you Jeff.

The Equinox has that extra quality in the design. Unfortunate it didn't have better waterproofing. Right now the Legend is my dedicated lake hunter.

I have an Equinox 800, Legend, Xp Orx, tejon, Vaquaro & Gold Kruzer for lake & relic hunting.

They will each have there places.

I like the silver ring!

Great find. Must be nice hunting with that wind to cool you down.

That's a good hunt. With no gold, at least you found some silver. A nice looking ring too.
