Popular Post Nugglorious Posted September 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2019 Found this little guy on my second hunt with the nox. Just barely registers at .01g on the scale. It rang clear at 2 inches deep. I'm hunting in trashy hydraulic pits that have been hit hard with PI's and VLF's but I think I'm the first equinox user. I never thought I could remain sane hunting these areas but this machine changes everything. Only iron I dug was the old burro shoe.......pretty cool!! Im in gold 2, sensitivity 18-20 the rest all stock settings. Thanks 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Good picking I'd say! It helps to ignore a lot of stuff. Mitchel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brogansown Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 phrunt, Just received the 6 inch coil for my new Eq. 800 and am anxious to try it out. Here in Eastern Oregon the temperatures are finally dropping below 100 and we can get out more often. Your little nugget proves the Equinox will work and I hope for us too!

Nugglorious Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 Thanks for the replies Mitchel, it does that indeed!! Goldrat, This guy came in at a #2 also just like most the birdshot and small lead I was digging. Found it in someone's dig pile. Phrunt, hope your right Gary, I'm using the 6" it works for sure you should like it I've got lots of time in on a GMT and I still love that macine but the 800 has got my enthusiasm up Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nugglorious Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 Have to correct the record here. That nuggie came in at a .1 not .01 As my daughter puts it........ I was confuzzled ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brogansown Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Nugglorius, Got two with my 800 yesterday using the 6 inch coil-so thanks. The Equinox does not handle the hot rocks at all and maybe because I don't know what to do yet. And it isn't as user friendly as the Gold Bug 2. Very sensitive to gold at depth though.

RickUK Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Well done on finding the small gold nugget,although nuggets are nearly non existent here in the UK,but my 6'' coil is basically staying on the Equinox all the time.I rarely use the stock coil at all,only 2 coils that i basically use are the 6'' and the 15'' but only then on pasture sites.
