DukeBoxer Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 ...finally happened to me!! I got my Equinox 800 on Saturday that I ordered from Gerry and took it out in my back yard. I've gone over this part of the yard plenty of times and pulled out most high conductors but somehow managed to pull a '41 wheat...from the surface! Not sure how I missed that but I'm thinking I dug it the other day with my Mojave and it fell further away from the plug and I just skipped over it. But that's not the luck I'm talking about. I charged it over night and took it to work with me the next day because I wanted to hit the beach down the street from where I work. It was cold and windy so I just decided to go to a baseball field that I've been detecting near my house. I was listening to the tones, trying out 5 tone and 50 tone on park 1 and 2 and settled on 50 tone park one. I noise canceled and ground balanced and didn't change anything else. I was picking out some coins and digging some foil looking for small gold. I dug a couple nickels at 12 and some at 13. I got a 12 and was expecting another nickel and out popped a 6.1 gram 14K gold band. Sweet, finally some of that beginners luck! Here's a couple pics from the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TripleT Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Sweet! I also wonder if I would have found my first gold ring with my Cibola... Again, congrats on the find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeBoxer Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 TripleT, I found my first gold ring with my Mojave a couple weeks ago. A 9.9 gram 18k band. I would've found this one with the Mojave too if I was over it. It wasn't down that far, maybe 3-4 inches. Fskafish, maybe it was that sweet Equinox mojo! Hopefully it'll keep going. One of the main reasons I bought it was to take to Costa Rica and use on the beaches down there for jewelry hunting. Thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
