Redneck Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Jonathon, where you running in all metal, or where you running some discrimination for small iron? That's some small gold for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Porter Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Thought I'd post some more pics of some of the tiny pieces I've found with the Equinox 800. JP 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmason Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Very nice, Jonathan! I have ordered an Equinox. The multi-purpose and weight will be a nice relief. However, I agree a small coil does require a different mind-set than the 14" or 19 " GPZ... hope they get one to me soon fred 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MineBlab Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I'd be interested in how deep those pickers were. Very interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odanscoils Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hello Gentlemen an LadyTesters,, Now that the bird has flown the coop. And the Equinox has landed in many Happy Nests. Wouldn’t you agree with me. It’s about time for Minelab to cut you loose from your NDA’s ! I for one would love to know the settings used here on that purty gold ? And explanations of why those settings were used. I know all involved with the testing are most certainly tired of questions like these. Please excuse my persistence . It’s just the machine is no longer a secret. What is there to hide? I wish to thank all involved in the testing and final faze updating information of this fine new Evolution in Metal Detecting Technology!!! Thank You for Your Time Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank You for Your Time Terry Hi Terry, I have reported the Gold Mode settings I used... http://www.detectorprospector.com/forum/topic/5102-my-first-equinox-gold-nuggets/ So I am not sure about the secrecy thing but perhaps you were referring to JP since he started this thread.

I agree with steve.Those nuggets at a bit of depth with some minerilazation is what i want to see ....please.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 JP did get those small bits at depth in Australian soil. That was me just tweaking a friend! Everyone says they hate hype so I have been underselling the capability of the Equinox in nearly all regards. Part of the fun of the intro has been sitting back and letting people discover this machine for themselves. I think Equinox will end up displacing most single frequency gold nugget detectors eventually but it may take a model make specifically for prospecting for that to really happen, or at least some coils made specifically for the purpose. The power is there for sure, Multi-IQ is really powerful. Just mind my caveat - it is not a GPX 5000 or a GPZ 7000. However when it comes to weight and price that’s not entirely a bad thing. When it comes to gold in Australian soil however I have learned to never speak for Aussies so I can promise JP will be saying a lot more on the subject soon. Just hang in there folks! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
