sedgetroll Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 (edited) I had a tough first day using the new Equinox detector on Saturday ( 2 hour hunt at Phoenix parks). I only used the quick start guide with basic Park 1 / 2 to test. 2 25c 4 10c 3 5c 20 1c 100+ foil bits - basic Park 1 program drove me nuts with all the chatter in trashy parks. 2 Plastic Play Money Junk Necklace/Chains Today, I tried a new "coin" program I found on Youtube and went out for about 4 hours at Encanto park. It worked nicely! (Custom Tones & Zones Park 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ur0FfDDKUo - Thanks to DirtFishing 21 25c 15 10c 15 5c -- most nickels I think in one day ever. Coin program made nickels stand out. Dug one at 10 inches in middle of trash. 77 1c 1928 very corroded Merc dime - I did not know I got this until I got home - this looked like clad it was so dark. Odd. This is after light cleaning. 129 Coins Total: not bad at all. No jewerly other than a junk ring. 1 slot machine token. Fun. New coin program did very well today. Made for a fun time with the new detector. Only issue I have with the detector now is it can not detect within 3-4ft of large metal odjects. I tried lower sensitivity but it was no help. Playground equipment, fences, rebar in walls etc gave me alot of issues. I just avoided them were I could. I might need the 6in coil. Side note: My neck is burned to a crisp - too dang hot!
