4th Equinox Beach Hunt


Recommended Posts

Went out for the 4th time beach hunting with the 800. This time I used it all day and left the GPX home. My objective was not deep silver but fine gold.  I really was expecting to end my gold streak, but was determined to learn the machine a little bit more. I just can not understand how this machine continues to find all this gold. Amazing is an understatement :laugh: My best day ever for gold. Yes you have to dig tiny targets, and yes the numbers for cherry picking targets are not as favorable as the E Trac / CTX, but I don't care.....it works and works well. I won't post all the junk, just the gold and some of the silver and small jewelry (some of that may be silver too). I can't wait for hunt #5. Seriously Minelab.... you made me late for work that day :smile:

Lots of good pieces there!

I'd be excited about my next hunt too.

Good visual post.

Crazy.. I didn‘t manage to find a single goldring in 2 years :biggrin:

But an earring.. and some silver.

Do you hunt in the water, or on the dry?

 

We have no tide here.. so no wet sand hunting possible :mellow: I imagine that would bring up some more interesting targets..

I hunt both dry and wet, and I  do move around quite often. I haven't hit a very low tide yet or went in the water past my knees.

Great digging!!

What kind of TID numbers are you digging?

Does the gold lock on as a solid TID?

Dug a solid TID 8 at an old site last weekend and it was a small grommet.

Very nice finds.  Did you seriously find matched earrings?  The irony of finding the "Deus te Guie" medallion/charm with the Equinox makes me chuckle.

They are exactly the same diameter, but the wire is different on each of them, so they are from 2 different pairs.  I think Deus te Guie means God bless you, or God guide you or God be with you in Portuguese. Apparently that is how I found it  :ohmy:

Most of the small gold  is in the 1 or 2 range. Bigger gold was in the 9-10 range. It locks on fairly well, but the items are not deep
