Gerry in Idaho Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I hunted a 20' x 30' site 5 years ago using CTX-3030 with small 6" coil and pulled 2 Barber Quarters, 1 Seated Liberty Quarter, and 2 Barber Dimes. I hunted the exact same 20x30 spot 2 days ago with EQ-800 and stock coil, as Lunk had my 6 sniffer. Here is what the $2500 CTX-3030 missed. 1903 V Nickel, 1883 Indian Head Cent, 1897 Barber Dime and 2 early Wheat Cents I didn't take pics. The only thing I can contribute is the Multi IQ Technology and faster recovery of Equinox is superior for this type of site, high iron trash content.

Cal_Cobra Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Get the Equinox into the right site and it'll open her back up! Congrats on all the great finds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tnsharpshooter Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I agree Gerry. Field 2 mode deadly on the thin stuff like half dimes, small reales. Minelab describes what each detect mode fancies. They aren’t pulling anyone’s leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundscanner Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I agree. My coin finds have increased now that I am using the Equinox. Found a 1909 barber quarter and 3 pennies Thursday at a site that normally doesn't gives up coins. I have found the ID's are rock solid on coins and other round targets. I am also finding targets at greater depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happa54 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Congrats on those additional finds Gerry but what took you so long to go back there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is it's a long ways from home that little rectangular piece of dirt. I have not used the CTX much since the Nox came along. I have parks here in the Bay area that are hard to hunt with the Nox due to emi so for now the CTX stays but I've thought of unloading it at some point. strick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
