The Seeker Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I got out today for a little exercise and to give the Equinox a workout also since it’s been a while since I last took it out. I can honestly say it didn’t disappoint. I only did dry sand since it was high tide. The large gold ring and the pendant are marked 14k. The little one isn’t marked but I’m guessing is 10k. The last ring of the bunch is copper and gave me the same VDI as a penny. I found $9.75 in clad and it was thanks to a pocket spill of $2.47. Thanks for looking and stay safe out there.

mn90403 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Yes, well done on those finds. I can't remember the last time I found silver on my Santa Monica Bay beaches. Where are your beaches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 That is a fantastic hunt, I will be lucky to be able to do that with my grandfathers 800. I have only found 3 coins with it so far, but I am cleaning out the trash from his back yard with it. I think it is going to take a miracle to learn that thing, but I am working on it.

Thanks Compass, sometimes I just get lucky. I went out there just hoping to find just one silver coin and this happened. The only downside is that I have to cover more ground and it’s a challenge walking in the dry, for me at least. 14 hours ago, mn90403 said: Yes, well done on those finds.

I usually find the coins far from where all the dry sanders hunt. 12 hours ago, Valens Legacy said: That is a fantastic hunt, I will be lucky to be able to do that with my grandfathers 800.

Thanks Valens and sorry about your loss. When it comes to the Equinox the best thing to do is stick to the presets, trust me they work very well. When I’m hunting the wet sand I mostly use presets with some tweaks to pitch and I also reverse the tones. Keep reading these great forums and ask questions. You will become proficient in no time.

Where I hunt there’s anywhere from 10-15 using the Nox. It’s simple to use, swing and finds the goods. If you swing it correctly, at the right places and some luck you will find what your looking for. There’s a lot of competition so sometimes you have to put extra effort.

I really hope that you are right about that as I probably have dug over 250 holes in my grandmothers back yard by now and have only found 4 coins. I have been digging every time I get a solid tone and I can now tell everyone that her back yard looks like a war scene from the movies. I have read a lot of articles on here, but still don't know what I am doing. However if digging everything helps find the good stuff, I should be getting my share soon. I only have about another 1/4 block to go to the back fence and then I will move over about 10 feet more and come back up to the house again. They own half the block where they live as it was a church at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
