I'm still keeping it.

I don't remember where I found it. I found it on land. Still could just be a rock lol.

Strange how flat and rounded they are. The rock I have fits in hand.

It's symmetrical both sides. It is flat on both sides and the edges rounded. I kept it because it looks interesting. Could that be a blood stain on the rock after hundreds of years.

I think so.

Worth the wait if it's going to be lighter and better.

Metal detecting is obsessive compulsive addictive once you start detector lol.

My buddy has been using an Advantage for a few years and has tried nothing else. I let him try my Equinox 800 and I had doubts he would like it. I was surprised how easily he took to it. I showed him the settings and off he went detecting with it. His first target was a silver ring. He ended the day with the silver ring, wheat penny, silver dime and a V nickel. He loved the Equinox 800 and now he has one. I don't think someone with little or no experience would do well with the Equinox. I think a simpler detector would be better where you can set the disc and dig when it beeps. Get some experience detecting and if they like it, then move up with a better detector.

Well the little car is cool!

Probably diamond I hope. Sure has a sparkle in the photo.

Nice finds. You have a good spot to hunt.

I like the toy soldiers. I've only found 1. I thought there would be a lot of them lost. Good luck finding gold.

Yes :). Sorry.

Nice gold!

It's always good to find gold. The Apex sounds like a nice detector.

The coil in the photo look like it could be elliptical but it's hard to really tell from that angle. The shaft looks carbon fiber. There not showing us much yet.

Wow, that's a great thimble. Great hunt too.

Great test. I like the bracelet find too. That's why most people hunt with iron bias F2 0. You do get falsing in iron then. Turning down sensitivity in iron helps that.

And Nokta Makro asked us what we would like to see in there new mf detector. I'm looking forward to this one, and Garrett's, and hopefully FT. I don't know of any other detector manufacturer to ask this.

Nokta Makro seems to be the only one to watch the forums as to what people are saying.

Nice finding gold. Good you found the disc controller was off a bit. That could really mess you up.

Yes Kac, I'm looking forward to Garret's mf waterproof detector. It could be great. Especially if they can keep it light like the Apex.

Garrett also has all of White's patents which has future ideas and designs. This could put it ahead of what White's detectors were. So why go to the past when you can go to the future. I'm not saying White's detectors from the past are not great detectors. Just saying Garrett has the the opportunity make them better. As we all know engineering can take a very long, long time.
