Yep, I was finally able to get out again this past Saturday. I used 50 tones for the first time in Park 1, and I REALLY like it. I left all the other settings at default, and had a pretty decent day. I went slow and methodical and managed 4 wheats and one silver in just 3-1/2 hours of hunting. This is in a park that myself and others have pounded for decades. I also found 3 early 60's memorials, so the park still holds some goodies. Still full of trash though. I've learned a lot from this thread and a couple others, and would like to say thanks to those who have posted all the helpful info. I love my new Equinox!

Thanks for the info. I just received my 600 and am learning this amazing detector. I got into detecting from my dad who has passed away and I got to keep his old white detector. I am now passing it on to my 12 year old since the equinox arrived we have dug up keys coins and aluminum cans. I have been following this forum for a while and now with the help and knowledge that this forum has I’m sure we will be successful and look forward to our adventures. Thanks

Great post and info "V". I bought my 800 last Fall, and have used it many times in Park 1. I do so well with my finds that I'm not even changing the settings. I just use factory preset of Park 1. I may explore the settings some day, but for now it is a great detector right out of the box. I use the detector in yards, woods, and parks. Still use my trusty CZ 5 for the fields.
