GKman Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Hi Folks Hope everyone is well out there. I was using the Equinox the other day at lunch time and working my way through a mess of bottle caps. This is one of those places that has been detected over and over again for years (local hotspot for detectorists). In fact as I was detecting a guy stopped his car and said to me "Don't waste your time, we have been over this field a thousand times" ( or something like that, I was taking my headphones off when he first started talking). If he hadn't of said that I probably wouldn't have shown him what I found. But, it was too tempting. Ha, maybe that was his logic all along. His eyes bugged out when I showed him the coins. Anyway we had a good talk, and know mutual other Detectorists. Nice guy. The coins rang in real nice around 27 and were about eight inches deep. I was running park 2 with high sensitivity. Recovery speed was at 6 and Iron Bias at 2. I am seeing screw caps coming in as high as 24 even a couple iffy 25s. The coins I have been digging have been above that so far (besides a buffalo nickel at another older less trashy site). Update I found a Barber dime at that park yesterday which rang up 25. That is the same ID as some of those bottle caps. So I will be digging those deeper 25s for sure.. HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECris Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Excellent recoveries. The Equinox is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skate Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 That is a beautiful seated and congrats on each recovery. You likely had the place to yourself if you hadn't shown him but I'd have done the same thing for sure. I'm sure he had other great advice for you as well.

Cal_Cobra Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Beautiful dime, full Liberty! A large cent from a park is out of the question in California :( Nice job, I think the EQ has a ton of potential, I just need to keep learning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
