    Old house in town

    No work for me today so took the equinox 800 and mx pro. had a good time, found a few pennies one dime one nickel one mercury dime 1945 one 1903 liberty v nickel as best I can tell. one holy figure a thimble which is some thing I’ve wanted to find. Then went over the same area with the mx pro I’m getting more depth with the mx pro found about 3 more pennies but the discrimination and pin pointing is way better on the 800 I’ve turned the sweep speed down but still feel I’m only getting 5 or 6 inches max the thimble was barely picked up. Any one no how to squeeze more depth of the 800.

    I love to find old cornet lyres...must have been a band playing there.
    I use the nox 600 and have no issues with depth. I've not used the mx pro so i don't know if that is deeper.
    The 600 is deeper than my T2 at most sites. They seem equal at very mineralized places...it sounds like your site is mineralized. Congrats on a bunch of keepers!

    my noxs is way better on every thing but, I feel like I’m gettin 3to 4 more inches with the mx. may be my imagination most silver or older coins I find seem to been in the 6in or deeper.

    Great finds! I think my Etrac goes deeper than the EQX. But it's probably not.
    Detectors I use: Minelab Equinox 900 & Manticore
    Favorite finds I have made:
    1,000+ silver coins
    92pcs of 1700's Trade Era Silver
    Copper Culture Indian Artifacts
    125+ War of 1812 Era buttons and relics
    My wife     (probably should have started with that one)

    Nice pile of finds! As for differences, the only way to tell would be equivalent settings on the machines and run them in a test plot to compare them.
    Equipment:
    Minelab: CTX 3030, GPX 4800, X-Terra 705. Whites TDI SL.

    2024: Silver 1, Gold 0
    Best finds: 28 silver dime spill, 1800s Dutch customs seal.
    Oldest/best coins: Late 1700's Chinese Cash Coin, 1837 Upper Canada large cent, 1877 Seated Dime
    Oldest Relic find: 1800 Sailors Luck token

    Running a test is a great idea. Thanks to all for replying, I definitely like the nox better.
