    I had a pretty good September.

    Here are my finds from about 16 hours of detecting with the Equinox for the month of September. 27 wheats, 11 Mercs, 6 War Nickels, 4 Buffalos and 3 V Nickels. These were all from site I had hit pretty hard with the V3i, Etrac, Deus and CTX.
    For my soil conditions the Equinox is definitely the deepest machine I’ve had. It also is amazing at picking out the good amongst the iron. It does lack at IDing at depth but it’s still easy to tell the good from the bad by how much the numbers are jumping around. I can’t wait to get the larger coil to see how deep it can go. I just got the 6” coil so I plan putting it to the test in the trash at one of my favorite spots. Thanks for looking.

    You did pretty well Jeff! Looks like the nox has an affinity to those low tones. Guessing due to the higher frequencies?
